Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Jennifer's POV:

My heart started to beat faster as I watched Amelia slowly open the door to Larry's secret room.

Without conscious thought, my grip on Anthony's arm tightened when I saw the old magic book in her

hands.

‘‘God, please help Amelia find a way to remove the Love Curse from Anthony!’’ I prayed sincerely, with

all my heart.

"Roy, I'll need your assistance if I'm going to use this book to lift the curse.I am afraid that years of not

using magic have dulled my powers."

Amelia limped out of the room as she put the magic book on the table next to all the magic potions.

Roy nodded to show his assent and then began to go through the book with her.

"It's not here, nor is it here..."

Amelia mumbled pensively to herself.

A few minutes had passed and they still didn't find what they were looking for in the book.

Just as my heart was slowly sinking into despair, Roy suddenly shouted, "I've found it!"

He turned around to look at me and Anthony with eyes sparkling with excitement.

An unexpected frown appeared on Amelia's face as she scanned the page meticulously.

I couldn't express how relieved I felt when I heard that they had found a way to lift the Love Curse.

Anthony hugged me so tightly that I could hear his heart beating from his chest.

"Mr.Jones, Miss Jennifer, even though this book has a detailed description on how to cast the Love

Curse on someone, it only mentions two ways to remove the curse."

Amelia furrowed her eyebrows.

"The first way is to completely erase the memories of the cursed so that they would forget ever being in

love."

"We already knew about that one, Amelia.What's the other way?"

I couldn't help but ask.

After all, Anthony and I didn't want to lose each other.

"The second method is a bit more complicated.The one inflicted with the curse must take their loved

one to the peak of the most dangerous snow -covered mountain in the Osman Kingdom to look for a

divine flower called the ‘Tear of Edith.’ The cursed one must eat the flower mixed with their loved one's

blood to remove the Love Curse." Amelia looked at us seriously.

"According to the legend, the divine flower was made from a tear of Edith, a goddess, after the death of

her husband.It's meant to symbolize their undying love for each other."

"Well, then Anthony and I will climb the highest mountain in the kingdom and look for this flower as

soon as possible!"

I didn't want to waste any more time.

After all, I was willing to take any risk as long as the Love Curse could be lifted from Anthony.

"Don't be in such a rush, honey.The snow mountain is a very dangerous place for a woman," Anthony

said as he looked at me with concern.

"Amelia, can I go to the snow mountain alone?"

As soon as I heard him say that, I knew that Anthony was worried about my safety.

But how could I let him go to such a dangerous place all by himself? As I stood contemplating how to

persuade him, Amelia shook her head.

"No, Mr.Jones.According to this book, you have to bring the person you love with you to the peak of the

mountain.Only in that way can you show Edith how sincere you really want to remove the curse,"

Amelia said.

In other words, we couldn't ask for anyone's help nor could we bring anyone else with us to the snow

mountain.

This path to remove the curse seemed marred with perils.

However, that didn't bother me because I believed that as long as Anthony and I were together, nothing

could stop us.

"Anthony, we've finally found a way to remove the Love Curse.I believe Edith will recognize our love,

and as long as we're together, we can overcome anything." I held Anthony's hand excitedly.

Anthony's POV:

Unfortunately, even after Amelia told us about the other method to remove the Love Curse, my worries

did not disappear.

After all, getting rid of the curse meant that I would have to risk Jennifer's safety by bringing her to the

snow mountain with me.

As much as I wanted to get rid of the curse, putting Jennifer's life in danger was not what I wanted.

What if something bad were to happen to her? I couldn't even begin to imagine what life would be like

without her.

How could I let Jennifer put her life on the line for me? After all, everyone knew about the dangers of

venturing into the snow mountain.

"I'm sorry, honey.It seems as though being with me is causing you a lot of suffering."

I held Jennifer in my arms because I knew that, even in the face of danger, her feelings for me were

sincere.

"It isn't fair to you!"

"No, Anthony, don't say that.I don't care how many mountains I have to climb as long as I can be with

you.You are everything I have ever wanted, Anthony.I love you."

Jennifer looked at me affectionately with a smile.

Her radiant smile warmed my heart like a ray of sunshine on a cold wintry day.

"Mr.Jones and Jennifer love each other very much.I have no doubt that they will find the flower!" Roy

clapped his hands with enthusiasm.

Jennifer lowered her head to stop herself from blushing.

"Anthony, now I can finally see why you love Jennifer!"

Caroline, who had been quiet this whole time, suddenly came forward.

"I'm moved by the way you two love each other.I've come to realize that I was wrong about you two in

the past.I'm sorry.I shouldn't have tried to separate you two."

I never thought that I'd hear such words from Caroline, but I was happy to see that she was willing to

admit her fault willingly.

After all, I always considered her to be my sister.

"I'm glad that you've finally come to realize your mistakes.I hope you and Austin can live a life of peace

and happiness when all this is over." I genuinely wanted them to be happy.

"Thank you.As long as I can spend the rest of my life with Austin, I will be happy," Caroline replied

sincerely.

We decided to go back to the royal palace since we had found a way to lift the curse.

"Amelia, would you like to go back with us? If you don't have a place to go to, Anthony can arrange one

for you," Jennifer asked Amelia before we left.

"It's the least I could do to repay your kindness.If there's anything I can do to help you, please let me

know."

I also looked at Amelia with gratitude.

After all, I wouldn't have been able to find a way to lift the Love Curse without her help.

"I'm the one who should be showing gratitude.You three have saved me by freeing me from this

prison."

Amelia was exhausted and she struggled to catch her breath.

"I don't want to bother you, but could you please get me out of this forest? After that, I will find a place

where I can recuperate for a while before I look for my precious love."

"Of course, Amelia.If you wish, you may come to the royal palace with us.We will give you a place to

stay and then later on we can also help you to find your love."

I couldn't help but feel sorry for Amelia.

Larry had taken away so many precious years from her.

"Thank you very much.By the way, Roy, please take all these magic books somewhere far away from

here.I can't let these precious magic books fall into the hands of that vile wizard again.I know that Larry

will only ever use these spells to do evil things."

Amelia suddenly opened the drawer and took out several books to give to Roy.

"Please put them to good use! I'm sure you'll find a way to make the lives of people better with magic."

"Thank you so much for trusting me with these invaluable books.I promise that I will put them to good

use."

Roy had a look of surprise on his face, but he was truly happy.

After he put away the magic books, I asked my attendants to help Amelia out of Larry's log cabin.

Now, all I had to do was come up with a good plan on how to get to the top of the snow mountain.

Despite the risk, I could only hope for everything to go well.
