Adhler's Point of View “Like? Her? Do you really think I should like— no. Of course. Of course, King Adhler. Maybe you could interpret it that way. You see, I very much… love Charlene Samarah,” I want to punch him— no. I want to kill him right now. I want to kill this man who killed my brother and is now claiming to love a woman that is younger than his own daughter. Is he not ashamed of himself? He’s a beast… I cannot believe that there could be someone as evil as he is. I clenched my jaw and smiled at him to hide my expression. “You seem surprised…” he said. Who would not be surprised? Does the Red Moon Pack Alpha, Charlene’s father, know about this? Does he know— I heard that the king has been offering him lands and wealth… Was it because he likes his daughter? Does he like Charlene? “You should not get ahead of your thoughts, King Adhler… It’s not like I meant it the way you thought I am,” he smirked. I did not reply. “I love her not because she’s a woman,” he laughed.
Adhler could feel his insides turning as he ran to the side of the garden to vomit. The King of the werewolves left earlier after he and Adhler talked about the woman named Samarah Zoliar Arden… which Adhler knows very well after the Saint told him about her. The banquet ended after the King of the Lycans decided to rest in his chamber. He never talked to anyone after his encounter with the Werewolf King. And it had been a month since then. Keiffer had been knocking at his door from morning to dusk, waiting for him to respond but the Lycan King was stubborn to his servants. “Charlene,” “Keiffer… It has been long since I last saw you… how have you been?” Charlene asked him. She’s currently staying in the garden with Julian and her brother. Reading books like they always do. The Queen has traveled out of the castle for a short while because of some things that she needed to tend to. After the late King died, there has been more work for her because of the projects that they were sh
Adler’s Point of View How long has it been? Two? Three weeks? I looked at the ceiling and recalled the smirking face of the Werewolf King as he said those things… I was not even able to confront him about my brother’s death because I could not have stayed a second more in the same room as he is. It makes me sick. It makes me want to vomit again. I want to kill him badly but that would warrant a war between our nation if I do it the wrong way. The elders did not even receive their punishments yet. I have not done my part as a royal just yet. And I cannot let my subjects suffer the after-effects of the war that I might ignite if I do not make terms with the werewolf king. I don’t know what to do. Why did they have to leave everything to me alone? Why did they just not tell me the answers I needed to hear? Why? Why? I was disturbed when a sudden knock came on the door. I opened it since no servant should be there to open it for them. I don’t know why but since it was her scent— I
“She refuses to leave her castle?” Adhler asked Karev, who had just arrived at his study, to report the situation of the Luna. She has not visited nor talked to Adhler in the past six months. Adhler never heard anything about her either. She had started avoiding Adhler after he told her of the possibility of being the King’s daughter. Adhler was not thinking straight at the time… he was not thinking straight at all. Charlene left that day without looking back at him. She left without even glancing over Adhler who was at a loss after Charlene just accepted the information he brought. Even Keiffer had no idea what happened to the Luna. “Tell her I will visit her,” “Her servant said that if you asked of that, I should tell you that Her Highness also refuses to accept visitors— Even if it’s you,” Karev said. “So what you are telling me never really came from Samarah herself? I told you to look after her, what have you been doing—” “I was told that if I peek just a little in her cham
“Are you sure you did not tell him?” Julian asked Karev who had just gotten back to the palace. He glared at the young princess and rolled his eyes. “Do you see the bruises on my face, Your Highness?” he sarcastically said. He is still against the idea of the young princess regarding the Luna. Although he could not really go against her since she’s a royal. “Then we should move tonight,” “What do you mean move?” Karev asked, furrowing his brows. “I cannot let Her Highness leave the palace without the King’s permission, Princess. I’m sorry but that is something I cannot do for you. I really want to help you. I do. But this is beyond my capabilities as a knight,” “Have you seen the Luna… Karev?” Julian asked him. Karev looked away. He had been by her side since Adhler picked him so how could he not know why Julian wanted to have the woman leave the place? Even if just to get some fresh air or at least visit her family… her family that had been sending letters to meet her, but the
“Maybe that is the reason why she cannot let go… even though she had never met the child yet,” “It’s because my master has a pure heart,” Julian and Karev looked at the child that suddenly appeared. His appearance was strange because of his golden eyes which looked more beautiful than any other gems in the world. “Who are you!? How did you get here? State your name and purpose!” Karev shouted as he raised his sword against the child. Kiel sighed, this is the reaction he was expecting from Charlene, but she was really a different person than all these people. “Are you Kiel?” Julian asked. Slowly approaching him now. “You are the one that Her Highness was talking about, right? The kid who was with her when she was captured by the hunters—” “Her Highness was captured by the hunters?” No one answered Karev. Julian slowly approaches Kiel as the kid turned into a small dragon again and then flew into her womb. “Hmm, I thought she would have just one child,” “Where were you?” “I was
“With the Goddess?” Julian stared at Charlene. Come to think of it, when was the last time she had seen the woman open her eyes? “Call the maids here at once!” Julian shouted. “Call them here at once!” “We… We thought you knew about it, Your Highness— since you were always by her side,” the maid looked away after telling that the Luna had never opened her eyes in the past week. And it was not the first time it happened. “Is that why the Saint visits? Is he keeping her alive? Why? What is it that keeps her highness to the other side? Why is she not going back here?” Julian shouted. Kiel sighed and then turned back to his human form. “Does she have anyone to go back to here?” he asked, his eyes half-opened. He looked at the princess and tapped her shoulder, though he had to tiptoe to reach it. “Can I meet your uncle? I have something to tell him… maybe he could change his mind… and have Charlene moved to a hotel,” he said. “A change of location can help her. The palace wal
“Your Highness, Princess Julian is here to seek an audience with you… and she is not alone,” Daimon bowed and opened the door for the princess and another kid followed her inside. He looks like a noble with the clothes that he’s wearing and the jewelry that is surrounding his body though it was not excessive— it still shouts that he had come from a wealthy family. His eyes were half-closed and he had a serious look on his face. His eyes are like the sun though it shines like the finest diamond in the world. He looks like he’s about five years of age with his height, but the way he walks and carries himself speaks otherwise. “Are you Adhler?” he asked the King. Daimon was about to raise his sword because of the disrespect that the kid that came with the Princess had shown but Princess Julian was quick to stand in front of him, “I greet Your Highness, the King,” Julian showed perfect etiquette that people might mistake her for a young lady when she’s yet to come of age. “Who
