—

Faced with such dreadful thoughts, Helios, without waiting for anyone to stop him, displaced a priest beside Sera.

Holding Sera’s curse-laden hand, he channeled divine power through their touching hands, altering the air’s flow with his overwhelming strength.

The temple candles flickered uneasily, and the entire temple filled with blinding light.

The startled priests and Roward rushed to hold Helios back, fearing he was about to give all his divine power.

“Your Majesty, steady yourself!”

“Your Majesty, you mustn’t do this! Didn’t you use a lot of divine power while moving her?!”

“If you transfer more than the limit, even Your Majesty’s sacred body will…!”

The horrified people tried to pull Helios away from Sera.

But Helios didn’t stop. He continued to infuse divine power into her.

It was the only thing he could do.

He felt the strain on his own body but clenched his teeth and endured, unwilling to let go of the slender hope that more divine power might make a difference.

“Your Majesty! Think of the two young ones!”

Unable to stop him by force, Roward, in desperation, shouted.

A chill tension poured over the temple’s frantic atmosphere as Helios turned a serene gaze towards Roward.

“Your Majesty. I understand your feelings, but please…”

Understanding the plea in Roward’s eyes, Helios grasped what the unfinished sentence meant—to stop because it was too much.

“……”

Looking at Sera, Helios slowly closed and then opened his bloodshot eyes.

Regrettably, following Roward’s advice was the wise choice.

He had two siblings to care for, and pouring all his divine power into Sera wasn’t guaranteed to yield results.

It was something that required time.

Helios signaled the priests holding him to step back with a nod.

As they stepped away, he slowly released Sera’s hand.

The golden divine power connecting him and Sera gradually dimmed.

At the same time, a distinct dizziness overwhelmed him, stark nausea from the rapid loss of divine power. Seeing Helios grimace and clutch his head, Roward moved to support him.

“Your Majesty!”

Helios waved everyone off, indicating he didn’t need assistance.

“It’s just a slight dizziness.”

Amidst the ringing in his head, he spoke with a cold voice, then stared at Sera for a long while.

Despite endlessly absorbing the priests’ divine power, Sera remained unchanged, making it difficult for him to look away.

Finally, breaking the silence, Helios issued a heavy command.

“Save her. By any means necessary, you must save her.”

“Oppa!”

“Hyung!”

Upon seeing Helios, Rosé and Ferre broke away from the maids and ran towards him.

With a weary face, Helios smiled powerlessly at the sight of his two siblings rushing towards him.

He knelt on one knee and embraced them in his wide chest, allowing the twins to bury their faces deeper into his embrace.

“Huuh… Hyung…!”

“Oppa!”

“Heli Hyung, I wanted to see you!”

“M-Me and Ferre knew that Oppa would come to save us!”

Choking back tears, Rosé and Ferre wept.

The long-awaited reunion with their family in the familiar palace made them realize that everything was finally over.

Helios gently stroked the trembling backs of his siblings and slightly distanced Rosé and Ferre from his embrace.

“Let me see your faces properly.”

In the chaos of their arrival, Helios hadn’t had the chance to properly look at the children.

He straightened the twins to examine them closely, tidying their soft hair behind their ears before he clenched his lips tightly.

“Hyung… why?”

“Oppa, why suddenly?”

“Did… Did me and Rosé do something wrong?”

Noticing the change in Helios’s expression, the twins looked at him with slight worry.

Afraid they might have strange thoughts, Helios quickly shook his head.

“It’s not that… I’m just… I’m sorry. This will never happen again… You can relax now.”

The cheeks below their swollen eyes seemed slightly gaunt as he pulled the children back into his embrace.

The ordeal the young children, only seven years old, had endured was heartbreakingly painful for him.

Helios spent a long time comforting the twins.

Still worried, he brought his siblings to his bedroom instead of letting them sleep in the palace.

Lying in Helios’s bed for the first time in a while, Rosé and Ferre looked at him with drooping eyes.

“Heli Oppa…”

“Heli Hyung…”

Rosé and Ferre called out to Helios tentatively.

Helios, who had been sitting beside their bed, stroking their foreheads, responded in a soft voice.

“I’m here, so don’t worry and go to sleep.”

“But… it’s not that…”

“What’s the matter?”

“Se…ra…?”

“Is she very sick…?”

At Rosé and Ferre’s questions, Helios’s hand stopped.

They were the children who had sent the small message warning ‘Sera, you’re in danger. Don’t come.’ So, it was strange they hadn’t asked anything after seeing Sera in her condition today.

“Rosé… Ferre…”

Helios’s voice trembled with anxiety as it slipped through his lips.

He took several deep breaths, trying to form his words.

“Sera will…”

He finally began.

“She’ll wake up soon… So, Sera will be… okay.”

“Okay…”

Rosé and Ferre responded in a voice similar to his.

Helios covered them with a blanket, and soon after, sobbing sounds came from under the covers.

And time began to pass quickly.
