[Seraphine's POV]All the servants looked at me with fearful expressions. Perhaps, they couldn't imagine that I, as Cassian's future wife, could be so emotionally volatile even while still inside the palace.My anger was justified. Since I disappeared, kidnapped by that mysterious Alpha, a hundred deaths have occurred in the village of Silverbrook Haven due to that deadly virus!"If the entire population of your village has already perished because of the virus, then my efforts to find the culprit are in vain," I said."Not in vain," Cassian replied after a long silence. "If you manage to find the perpetrator, you can be considered a world savior. Thanks to you, the virus didn't spread throughout Eldoria."My jaw tightened upon hearing his excuse. "Oh, so Prince Cassian is now normalizing the deaths of his people? Is that it?""I'm not normalizing," Cassian responded, still trying to remain calm, although I was provoking him."My decision to follow you to your village was the right th
[Seraphine's POV]"During those two months, many strange things happened. Cassian was suddenly attacked by a group of unknown Alphas, there was a war, and a hundred residents of Silverbrook Haven died because of the virus. The series of strange events made us think that they all originated from the same culprit."Queen Veronica continued to listen to my explanation attentively. She remained in her position, sitting silently without saying anything. I felt a bit awkward, wondering if she didn't like my explanation.But I decided to keep talking until she finally spoke up."That's why, Your Majesty. Cassian and I are here to ask for your help," I said again."What kind of help do you need?" Queen Veronica finally responded. Although she didn't appear surprised by anything, regardless of my somewhat shocking revelations."We brought the body of the mysterious Alpha who fought against us last night," I replied, occasionally glancing at Cassian's face for courage. "If you don't mind, I wou
[Seraphine's POV]Perhaps my face looked so terrible in front of him this time. Pale, trembling with fear, and running out of words. Veronica didn't need any knife to break my heart; her gaze was sharp enough to flay me alive.With every blink of her eyes, I felt my courage being thrown out the window."Cassian ... I don't know anything about this baby," I said. It took great courage for me to utter this sentence without feeling choked."And what is Cassian's child then?" She asked again. Now, her gaze pierced deeper into my heart like a dagger.I nodded briefly, sweat pouring down my forehead. "This is Cassian's child.""Are you sure? Could it be that the child is the Alpha's child in this glass case?""W-what?" I was extremely surprised to hear that. "Of course not, Your Majesty. I have never slept with anyone other than Cassian."I could sense her disbelief from the expression on Queen Veronica's beautiful face. I didn't need to activate my powers to see the future; her demeanor al
[Seraphine's POV]"Mother, please don't bring this up again. It's all embarrassing. Seraphine and I will be getting married soon. If you keep doing this to me, you'll only make me angry.""Cassian!"I couldn't believe it; now I had become a witness to a quarrel between an Alpha Prince and his mother.My initial intention was just to find a shady place to rest so that my baby wouldn't get too tired. I took a seat near the garden in front of the palace. And who would have thought? I ended up witnessing an argument between Cassian and Queen Veronica on the palace's first floor.They mentioned my name several times, and I heard everything they said. I couldn't believe how much Queen Veronica wanted to separate me from Cassian.'Ah, he's coming here.'I quickly averted my face when I realized Cassian was done talking to his mother. His hurried footsteps sounded as if he thought I had eavesdropped on their conversation.I should pretend to be ignorant here."Have you been waiting long?" Cas
[Seraphine's POV]No joking around. I had to hold my breath and swallow it hard out of fear when I saw the face of his.Perhaps it wasn't apparent from the outside, but my body trembled with fear as Cassian pounded on the carriage door with force.*Thud! Thud! Thud!**Thud! Thud! Thud!*"I said open the door!" he shouted again, and I was certain I wouldn't open the door for him."Cassian, just what do you want? I told you nothing happened between your mother and I. Why are you getting so angry to ke?" I spoke to him from inside the carriage."I don't like that you're lying to me, Seraphine. Then what? Are you secretly planning to leave me? Why can't you just be honest? Are you planning to abandon me?"'Huh? I really can't understand his way of thinking!' I shouted inwardly. I shook my head in frustration with his seemingly unstable emotions."Hey, you. Yes, you. Can you drive this carriage real please? Take me back to Silverbrook Haven village. Now" I called out to the driver who was
[Seraphine's POV]Stepping stealthily, I broke the promise we both made earlier. I approached the carriage driver who was patiently waiting at the entrance without doing anything. I was pondering a possibility: Could I hypnotize him from this distance? I mean, I didn't want to waste my energy erasing his memories if I could hypnotize him from afar.‘But I should give it a try,’ I thought to myself.The distance between us was about five meters, and I hid behind this concrete fence. I took a deep breath, calming my heart, and focused my power on my thumb.I planned to make him unconscious first. I aimed a shot from my finger to make him faint.*Boom!**Thud!*And it worked. The driver fell unconscious after receiving a little of my power.I hurriedly approached him and hid his body in a safe place. There could be other people coming while I was hypnotizing him, right?"Forgive me, unfortunate driver. I'm doing all this for your future," I said to his unconscious body.The hypnosis was
[Seraphine's POV]"Miss Seraphine. It's getting dark. If we insist on returning to the Maximilian Kingdom, the road ahead is not recommended. I hope you can reconsider this," the carriage driver greeted me, seeming reluctant about my plan. He was right; we had spent too long in the cemetery, and I hadn't noticed how high the moon had risen.Reluctantly, I agreed to his suggestion. Not far from here, there was an inn that served as a resting place for travelers on long journeys. Fortunately, I had some gold coins hidden in the folds of my dress, enough to rent two rooms for the night and wait until morning to continue our journey.___________"Aren't pregnant women not allowed to drink alcohol? I heard it's not good for the baby's health."My head was already feeling a bit dizzy when I suddenly heard a woman's voice approaching me as I sat alone on the front porch of the inn. I turned my head to see an Omega woman already seated next to me. She was holding a glass of beer in her hand,
[Seraphine's POV]"Um, Riana. When you said you were cursed earlier, was that statement true?"Amid our conversation, I, who initially refused to discuss it, ended up prolonging the chat. The moon was rising, and there was no one passing by on our left and right anymore.Two omegas sat alone in the hotel courtyard and talked in the middle of the night. It should have been a logical reason for us to go inside and sleep.Riana nodded with her innocent face. Then, her cold hands unbuttoned one of the buttons on her maid uniform."Look. This is the curse I've had since I was a child." Riana showed a burn mark near her breast, which left a deep scar."That ... You received this curse from whom?" My face contorted with every second I gazed at the scar on her chest.And Riana talked about it as if it was something normal, not bothering her."I am an Omega, and so is every member of my family. We received a curse from an Alpha who didn't like us. I was still a child back then, so I was very l
