Sibyl’s POVIt's raining.As summer approaches, so does the rainy season. Rainy weather makes me feel lazy. I don't want to do anything but lie on the bench by the window and listen to the rain with my eyes closed."Your Majesty, here are the guest lists." Amy placed a book on the table and then stood before me to report on the preparations for the reception of the prince from Werebear."I have selected three sets of cutlery and the list of food and wine is ready for your final decision. As for the tables and chairs, I chose the most luxurious one. After all, we wanted to show the third Prince of Werebear our wealth and power. I've made a draft of the procedure for the banquet and I'll work out the details if you think it's all right."I sat on the edge of the bed, fiddling with the flowers and nodding as I listened to Amy's report.I've been much more relaxed since Amy helped me with the work."The third Prince of Werebear will come to our country to visit in a month. Now we have eno
Nuri’s POVThe rain was getting heavier and heavier, almost blurring my vision.I led my soldiers to the palace in the rain."Hold on, soldiers. You can have a day off when you get to the Palace Barracks."The soldiers' sabatons fell to the ground, making a heavy noise and causing a splash.I looked at my soldiers. Even in the heavy rain, they remained orderly, serious, disciplined and vigilant.A wave of pride came over me. This is my army. It will be the most powerful army on the continent. No enemy would dare to invade my country if he saw them.I have been away for more than 7 days. As a king, I couldn't let my troops leave the capital for too long, and I missed my wife so much that I stuck to my plan to return to the palace in the rain.My soldiers were in step, and together they let out a low growl, like dull thunder.The windows of the houses along the road were opened, and the residents watched us from behind the curtains.I want them to know that we are no longer a weak Campb
Sibyl’s POVI don't know how long I slept. When I woke up, I saw Nuri lying on his side, holding his head with one hand, staring at me.I was still sleepy and shrank shyly under the covers. "What time is it?""You've missed breakfast.""Really?" My eyes widened. Why did I sleep so long?I pouted and complained, "Why didn't you wake me?"Nuri rubbed my head affectionately. "It's my fault. I made you so tired last night."He winked at me.This bad Nuri! I picked up a pillow and threw it at him.He took the pillow and approached me. "I have the day off today. Would you like to go riding with me on the Prairie? I bet you are very bored in the palace.""OK." I sat up happily. "I'm really bored. I miss being free in the Witch's house."Nuri was suddenly nervous. He looked me in the eye. "I will always take you with me. Don't try to sneak away, or I will punish you so badly that you won't be able to get out of bed for three days."Although he pretended to be angry, I saw his fear and childis
Nuri’s POVI feel strange. This isn't the first time Sibyl has mixed colors. I remember her mixing up the colors of the flowers a few days ago, even choosing a belt that didn't match her dress when she was dressing.I didn't pay much attention to it before, but today I feel that things have become very strange. Sibyl doesn't seem to see the color."You tell me, what the hell is going on?"Sibyl bit her lip subconsciously."Today is the first day of our new relationship. We just promised never to keep things to ourselves again. Have you forgotten?""I..." Sibyl looked up at me hesitantly. "It's a complicated story. I... I don't know where to start...""I have enough time and patience."Sibyl sighed. "I can tell you, but you have to promise me that after you hear this story, you can't be angry or sad.""I promise."I stared at Sibyl, not wanting to miss any of her expressions so much that I didn't dare blink. She hesitated and said, "It's a deal. I went to Werebird kingdom to find a cur
Nuri’s POV"Two things?"I rolled my eyes quietly. How long is this woman going to stay in my country?Lowa saw my face and smiled again. "You're always so cold. I don't know how Sibyl puts up with you. Why can't you smile more?"Always?The woman repeated that we had met before, but I could not find her in my memory."Cut the crap and just tell me what you want to do. I'll help you and you can go back to your country.""Tut-tut," she said, tilting her head and walking behind Sibyl, resting her arm on my wife’s shoulder and leaning lazily against her.I squint. Come on, it's just a girl thing. I don't need to be nervous. I want to be a generous husband."Don't you remember? I looked for you two years ago in a military camp on the western border. I heard I wasn't the only woman looking for you at that time.""Really?" Sibyl looked up at me unhappily. "So, you are so popular with women."Lowa smiles and gets ready for a good show.My heart tightened. I remember now. Two years ago, I tra
Sibyl’s POVI saw the servants pouncing on her and pulling her away forcefully.I almost cried. I held Nuri's arm, "Please, save my sister."Nuri quickened his horse and took me to the crowd."Be quiet!" Cried Nuri, and the servants immediately stood in a line, their heads bowed."Sis!" I shouted to the woman on the floor. When she heard my voice, she looked up weakly at me, the corners of her mouth curved, and she gave me a faint smile.Nuri took me off the horse and I ran to her and held her in my arms.Now I can see her face. It has been 5 years, and I still remember it clearly. On that afternoon, in the Queen's Palace, she knelt on the ground, trembling, and wept as she agreed to marry the old king of Werebear as a concubine. If it wasn't for her, I would have been sent to that horrible old man."Selene, Selene," I cried out her name, wiping the dust off her face with my hands.What the hell is going on?She held my hand, her lips quivering, unable to say a word, only to shed tear
Selene’s POVWhat does it mean to be a princess?For some, it means power, wealth and status; for others, it means jewels, fancy dresses and balls. But for me, it meant a curse.I knew from an early age that I had to be quiet to survive. When I was little, my mother always took my hand and warned me with a sad face, "You must be quiet, listen to others, don't refute others, don't attract others' attention. We must become invisible to survive here."I didn't know what that meant at the time. I just saw my mother bow down to everyone, very humble, sometimes even a servant can bully her, but my mother just kept her head down and kept her mouth shut.Perhaps because of my mother's influence, I have been a quiet child since childhood. I played quietly in the yard with my old toys, never crying for anything. My mother's words are like seeds buried in my heart. I always knew the world didn't like me. I can only be obedient and patient in exchange for a quiet life.Then my mother died. I didn
Selene’s POVI remember it was a summer afternoon. The old king vomited blood after coughing all night. The news spread throughout the palace overnight, and at dawn the next day, those who had asked to see the old king were already waiting at the palace gate.They wore the most luxurious clothes, with guards, and spoke the most respectful words, but the shrewdness of their eyes was obvious.Everyone wanted to make sure that the old king was going to die. If the old king dies, the first person to occupy the palace is most likely to get the crown and become the next king.The old king had 10 sons, each of whom was a good soldier for his country. After years of struggling, they split into three teams. The first team centered on the eldest prince. The eldest prince was the old king's first son, and his mother was a concubine. As the first prince, he was taken seriously by the old king from an early age. He is tall and good at fighting and archery. He often went to army training and huntin
