Sibyl’s POVThere was some noise outside. I had just woken up from a deep sleep. I closed my eyes and subconsciously moved closer to the warm embrace beside me."It's time to get up. We're going back to the palace today," said a low voice.I felt someone touch my back."No... I want to sleep for a while..." I enjoy this comfortable embrace."Listen to me, Get up." A big hand patted my ass.There's a man in my bed?The thought gave me a jolt. I opened my eyes and met Nuri's deep eyes.Am I dreaming?I rubbed my eyes and Nuri didn't disappear.The discomfort from the lower part of my body reminds me of what happened yesterday.Nuri broke into my home, took control of all the witches, and took me."Don't look at me like that. Although I've decided not to pursue your mistakes anymore, I won't indulge you like before. If you don't make it in time, you'll have to walk back to the Palace by yourself."He said to me with an air of seriousness.I reached out and touched his face. I knew he was
Sibyl’s POV"TSK, TSK, let's see, who's here?" Azariah said in a purposely high-pitched squeaky voice, glancing at me, "Turned out to be our prisoner, Sibyl. You'd better take a good look at your situation. In our country, prisoners and slaves are the same. You are only the tool to warm King’s bed, and you think you have the right to be impudent before me."Azariah smiled scornfully, displaying her typical arrogance and ruthlessness. She turned to her maid and said, "Take away these things that belong to the queen. Don't let this lowly woman get them dirty. And bring the soup."One of the maids was holding a bowl, and I could see some dark, medicinal-smelling liquid in it."You hold her down so she doesn't get away. She's a very cunning person. Be careful."As Azariah finished speaking, two strong maids came up to me. They stood on either side of me and caught me in the middle."What are you doing?" Amy rushed up and tried to pull them away."Get out." The maids rolled their eyes as m
Nuri’s POVSibyl said this and stood across from me looking at me angrily.There was a flash of sadness in our eyes at the same time, our eyes avoiding each other's gaze.Her words remind me of the baby we lost. If Sibyl didn't miscarry, we should be ready for him by now.I have a strong feeling. The child is a boy. He is my first heir.If only Sibyl hadn't given up on him.My fist tightened and loosened under my sleeve. It was destined to be a pain in my heart, but since I had decided not to pursue it, I could not dwell on it.Sibyl must have been blinded by hatred to do such a foolish thing. As a husband, I can't blame her all the time. I have to care about her feelings.Sibyl turned her head slightly, and I saw her bite her lower lip, and her eyes moist.An awkward atmosphere spread through the room.I blame myself. For a mother, the pain of losing a child is beyond anyone's imagination. I always emphasize my pain, but ignore hers.Sibyl had been looking forward to the baby, too, s
Nuri’s POVWhen the door was closed, I just stood there and kept my original position.I think I'm the first king in history who hasn't been able to go back to his bedroom.Before the coronation, I decided to combine the king's and Queen's bedrooms and fantasize about the sweet days of cuddling Sibyl to sleep. But I forgot a fact. As a husband, I could be kicked out of the bedroom by my wife when she gets angry.As a sign of my commitment to my marriage, I didn't get a second bedroom, so I'm standing in the palace at night, not knowing where to spend my night.The cool wind blew on my face, let me wake up a little. I thought back to what Sibyl had just said, and my heart grew heavy.Sibyl went to Werebird kingdom to find the antidote, not Azariah. Well, Azariah's story is questionable.I thought of all the ways Azariah had behaved in front of me. She purposely showed her scars and said Sibyl wanted to grab the antidote and kill me.I thought she had become more sensible and mature, bu
Nuri’s POVAzariah stood before me, and I looked at her in silence.When she heard my question, she paused for a second and rolled her eyes quickly. Then she smiled again and told me that her mark was covered by the scar.She's really smart. Her words not only answered my question, but also reminded me of the fact that Sibyl almost killed her in a fight over the cure.I was wrong. I shouldn't believe that an adult can make a big difference in a few days. The Windsor family's ambitions are beyond my imagination. They not only want to hold the supreme power in the government, but also want to control the royal family.I hadn't really thought much about why Azariah wanted to marry me. I've seen a lot of women trying to get into my bed. What they are after is nothing but wealth and vanity. Azariah, on the other hand, wants power and knows how to use it.If I hadn't gone to the witch's home to find Sibyl, I might still have been deceived by her words."But I made that up. The Queen of Were
Sibyl’s POVWhen I woke up in the morning, I was in a trance when I saw the patterns on the luxurious bed."Your Majesty," a woman hands me a glass of water.I turned and saw Amy. Oh, I remember. I went back to the palace.I got up and put on my clothes slowly.Back in my familiar palace, I had mixed feelings."Where did Nuri stay last night?" I couldn't help but concern my husband.This is the king and Queen's bedroom. I threw him out last night, which means he has no bedroom to live in.Amy replied, "His Majesty left the palace last night and returned very late. He slept in his study yesterday. I have asked the maid to prepare some quilts for him. He left before dawn today, without breakfast, and is now in the council chamber with the ministers."What's he up to? Didn't he sleep well last night?I was very sad yesterday. I may have said something to make him sad. But I really think we need to re-establish our relationship. The bad things of the past have always affected us, and we c
Sibyl’s POVAlthough everything was as usual in the palace today, everyone could feel a storm surging in the dark.The Prime Minister announced in the morning that he was seriously ill and could not go on with his work. He wrote a letter to the king, asking him to forgive his sudden resignation and allow him to return to his fief at the border to recover.Nuri opened the letter in front of all the ministers, expressed his regret and agreed to his request. As a token of his gratitude to the Windsor family, Nuri decided to send a team of soldiers to escort him and station at the border to keep him safe.The ministers knew it was a form of surveillance, but they all pretended not to, praising Nuri's thoughtfulness.Learn to be a fool at the critical moment. This is the first lesson every politician learns.Then I went through all the information about the maids and staff in the palace, sent 10 suspicious people to prison, and rearranged the work in the palace.Azariah Windsor was jailed
Azariah’s POV"Let me out..."I've been shouting all day and my voice is hoarse, but no one gives me any response.This was supposed to be a special room in the deepest part of the prison. I couldn't see the guards or the other prisoners, only a cage with an iron fence. I'm locked in here. The room was damp and dark, with only high black walls except for some tables and torture equipment.I hate the feeling here, and it makes me feel like a mouse.I knew there must be a guard outside the door, because someone would come in and bring me some water and food."Send Nuri and Sibyl to me!" I shouted to the food-delivery guard.He was like a statue. He didn't even look at me."I don't eat these things! I'm the daughter of the Windsor family. Is this how you treat me?" I looked at the vegetables and bread in my bowl and threw them out angrily.Boom!The bowl smashed against the fence and fell to the ground in pieces."I said, I want to see Nuri and Sibyl, didn't you hear? What's your name? W
Sibyl’s POVBefore I know it, time is running out like a river. My two children, who began as finger-sucking babies in cradles, can now run around the palace. Perhaps they inherited Nuri's strong physique, and even the quiet little princess Terese was full of energy. The wet nurses had run to follow her but she was not tired at all.Today, after breakfast, I caught them trying to sneak out again."Sit your asses down!" I said sternly.The two little ones made faces and sat back in their chairs.Unexpectedly, the child's father suddenly protested. "Children are young. They are at an active age now. Why should you restrain them?""Have you forgotten what day it is?""What day?" asked Nuri, doubtfully, putting down her cup.I knew it! I took a plate of peeled grapes from him and said, "Selene and Lowa are coming to visit us today. Lowa is bringing her little girl!"Shortly after my children were born, Lowa returned to Werebird kingdom with Manolo. Within two months of their return, I rec
Sibyl’s POVSince the birth of the little prince and Princess, the whole palace has become lively. Nuri's excitement is hard to describe. He immediately declared the young prince, Baron, a crown prince and gave him an estate. However, he is still young and currently lives with his sister in a bedroom in my palace.In order to take care of the two children, Nuri arranged for each of them to have three wet nurses and eight maids. He had even begun to think about their playmates.Carol was even more excited to see them every day. She came in the morning as soon as the sun rose, and left reluctantly after dinner.Now all eyes are on the two children."Our Baron and Terese are very popular. Whose credit is that?"Nuri rocked the cradle and looked at me like a big dog with a face full of praise! I couldn't bear to watch. I picked up Terese, who was munching her fingers, and kissed her soft, white, meaty face."Little Terese, who is your mommy?"The little guy looked at me in a daze and sudd
Roth’s POV"Sibyl... my baby..."Blayze's voice travels in Nuri's ears. His hands were tugging at Nuri's, blood gushing from his mouth, but he did not stop, calling the Queen's name again and again.Beowulf pounced. His broken arm was flailing feebly in the air, and Nuri dropped Blayze to avoid his attack. I climbed over and pulled Blayze aside to sit against the wall."How could she be Azariah? Didn't she die in prison?"Blayze didn't answer my question. He didn't even look at me. He just stubbornly called out the Queen's name. Does this really work? Can we wake the king?"Nuri, wake up! Sibyl is unconscious because of you. She is pregnant with your child! She almost died because of you!" Bellowed Beowulf as he dodged Nuri's attack, shouting Sibyl's name along with Blayze. Tears blurred my vision. I wiped my face and joined them loudly.May the gods protect us. The love between the King and Queen could be the antidote to this disaster.For a moment, the council chamber was filled wit
Selene’s POVThe whole palace was in disarray. The doctors were all called in, and the maids went in and out like ants on a hot pan. Everyone was scrambling to do something, but they didn't know which way to go, because the only hostess was still lying in bed, unconscious."Stay calm. You are all trained. Follow the rules." Nuri's grandmother's voice rose into the night, suppressing the panic. She took the maid's hand and got down from the carriage. She glanced at the maids and the doctors, and everyone she saw lowered their heads."We don't need so many doctors. Those who are not good at delivering babies can go home."When she had finished, some of the doctors, after a moment's hesitation, came forward, saluted, and hurried off.“Amy, divide the maids into three groups. One group will prepare hot water, the other will clean up the delivery room, and the last group will serve the empress at any time. If anything goes wrong, the person-in-charge will be punished!”Amy hurried to assig
Sibyl’s POV"Your Majesty..." Amy hesitated."Are you asking me why I didn't kill her?" I stopped and looked up at the Black Sky, where the moon was shining brightly. The stars twinkled in the sky like jewels on a dress."Maybe the moon is too beautiful tonight. I don't want to spoil my mood."Many innocent souls stayed in the palace. Every brick and tile was soaked in blood, and I did not want to add to it any more.The maid thought she was going to die, too. She closed her eyes and waited for the poison to attack, only to find that the pain she had imagined for a long time had not come. She slowly opened her eyes tentatively and looked at me hesitantly."Ah..." when she opened her mouth to speak, she found herself unable to make a sound."I took your voice," I motioned to Amy with my eyes. Amy handed her a bag of gold coins. "This is my compensation to you. I will still keep my promise to you. You can leave the palace tonight. I will let you continue your life as a commoner."With t
Sibyl’s POVThe evening party went on as planned. On the rows of brass candlesticks, carefully carved candles burned brightly, illuminating the faces of each visitor. The scent of ladies' perfumes filled the air, and expensive jewelry glowed in the owner's hair, earlobes, and neck. Everyone smiled and complimented each other."What an elegant crowd." I stood in the shade outside the door and looked at the nobles in the ballroom. "If I hadn't seen the fierce faces of the jealous ladies and the greed of the men in calculating the wealth of the common people, if I hadn't seen the despicable ways in which ministers use their power to do evil," I paused, i turned to Amy. "This is heaven, isn't it?"Amy looked at me in silence, and I knew the question frightened her. How can the nobles be so easily judged? Most people would think so. Nuri still had a long way to go. If he did not change the concept that everyone feared the nobles as much as the gods, the new nobles that he supported now wou
Sibyl’s POVLowa shifts into a giant bird. I sat on her back and soon saw Aphrodite's palace. With no intention of slowing down, she dived straight for the palace door, causing the maids at the door to scream. I walked to the door with a sullen face. Lowa shaved her feathers and shifted back to being a sexy lady.Not surprisingly, there was another shriek from the maids, and several of them had collapsed to the ground. I saw a familiar face among the maids, whose name I can't quite remember, Anna or something. On Aphrodite's first day at court, I met the maid.She's not doing very well. No, rather badly. She was not a pretty girl, but she was impressive, and now her hair was as yellow as a weed, and her figure was unusually dry. The once beautiful eyes also lost their love of life like a pool of stagnant water.She felt my gaze and looked up at me quickly. Her eyes sparkled, but soon became dull. She changed in an instant. When I blinked and looked at her again, she was still lifeless
Sibyl’s POV"Nuri is exaggerating." Selene looked at the room full of clothes and sighed. "So many clothes. Even if there were a few more of you, you would never wear them all!"I looked at the rows of clothes, heart half sweet half trouble. Nuri is in love with me, but, as my sister said, I really do not have time to wear every piece of clothing again. Looking at so many beautiful clothes that I have no chance to wear them, it makes me feel very wasteful."These are all new. Do you like any of them? If you don't mind, just take the ones you like!" I said to Selene. When Lowa heard this, her face darkened and she looked at me angrily. "You have a real sister, and have you forgotten about me? You are so biased!"Selene looked at me awkwardly, worried that something might happen between me and Lowa, and I patted her hand. I smiled at her and said, "She's just kidding!" I turned to Lowa and rolled my eyes at her. "Why are you teasing her? Come on, I'll give you all the clothes in this ro
Nuri’s POV"What's all this?" Beowulf asked as he casually flipped through the notes on my desk. He gave me a smirk. I looked down and coughed."How come I don't remember us getting so close?" His tone was too casual and intimate, as if we had known each other for more than a decade, which made me very uncomfortable. He is the king of the land of the Bears. While I respect him as a hero, that doesn't mean my social distance from him can become intimate. But he didn't seem to feel that way at all."My wife is your wife's sister, and we are brothers, a family! We know each other like the back of my hand!" He took another book from the shelf, he exclaimed, "I always thought that you were an ambitious hero. You spent all your energy on running the country. I can't imagine that you're actually a nanny!"My bookshelf is lined with books on children, medical and educational, from infants to teenagers. On the desk are several thick notes that I have made. These are all the questions I ask doc
