Max rolled his eyes indifferently and said:
"I will not tell you that.."
I screamed at him angrily and said:
"If you are not going to tell me, then why did you tell me a quarter of the topic that day!!!....is my father the reason!??....when he called you that day, did he tell you not to tell me about this topic?!!!.....are you toying with me, Max!!!!"
Max laughed and said quietly:
"You are really smart....in fact, yes, your father told me not to tell you about that matter..."
I took a deep breath and said while trying to calm myself gently:
"Please tell me about that matter....I was really thinking about it all the two weeks that passed...."
Max sighed and said:
"You are really stubborn....okay...I will tell you about the topic...first, you are in danger..your parents..."
Important Note:
The name of the Kingdom of Tangora has been changed to the Kingdom of Sylvana!

Max:
"On the night you were born, it was a full moon... On that night, any newborn is afflicted with a curse called the 'Twentieth End' curse. It is named so because three sorcerers known as the Calontast sorcerers created this curse twenty years ago. They did so because they made a pact with the devil to become their ally in all their crimes and spread corruption in the four kingdoms. This curse falls on one newborn among the four kingdoms, and you must have a royal place and bloodline. In this curse, when the person afflicted with it reaches the age of twenty, they will die. But before they die, the devil unites with them in their body and spreads corruption in that person's kingdom until it destroys it... Haven't you ever wondered about the reason for the annihilation and disappearance of the two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Cecilia and the Kingdom of Marseille, which are located in the east?"
Patrice:
"Actually, I've never thought about it before... I didn't even know about those two kingdoms in the first place... I thought there were only four kingdoms!"
Max sighed and said:
"You really don't know anything. It seems I'll take a lot of time explaining to you!!... Of course, every year this curse appears on one of the newborns in one of these kingdoms. Three years ago, we were six kingdoms. Two of those kingdoms were wiped out because of this curse, and..."
Patrice interrupted him in disbelief and said:
"What about last year?... Didn't you tell me that every year a new child is chosen and every year a new kingdom disappears, and that three years ago the Kingdom of Cecilia was wiped out, and two years ago the Kingdom of Marseille was wiped out? What about last year? Who disappeared?"
Max was silent for a few seconds before continuing with a sigh:
"It's my kingdom... Yes, I am the one who was afflicted with the curse this time. I have reached the age of twenty and I should have died, but somehow I discovered that I can freeze the curse, but I didn't tell anyone about this so that the three sorcerers wouldn't find out about it... However, your father discovered the matter a year ago and told me that after a year you would die because the curse had fallen on you nineteen years ago since you were 19 years old, and he also tried to convince me of our marriage and he insisted on that matter so that I could freeze the curse on you as well... It seems that this is my ability... And..."
She noticed him slowly approaching her, making her feel a little suspicious, and she took a few steps back to hear him say again:
"Don't worry... I just want to give you this necklace..."
He extended his hand towards her to see a necklace to take it and she said:
"Um, thank you... But what is it for?"
Max:
"This necklace has..."
