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
Selene’s POVHe paused when he saw me, but then his eyes turned cold.I covered my mouth and shook my head at him. I don't want more people to know that I overheard their conversation, which could get me in trouble.I have no way to protect myself in this palace. I can only try to make myself invisible. These princes have a great deal of power, and if they mistreat me or kill me, no one will punish them. My body would be wrapped in mats and thrown off the cliff.My eyes were filled with horror and supplication. Beowulf frowned. He looked back at the princes in the living room, who were speaking obscenely, and mouthed to me, "Get out!"Although his expression looked scary, I knew I was safe. He has no intention of making me suffer here."Beowulf, what's wrong? Who's out there?" The eldest Prince's voice was still loud.There was an instant silence in the living room. I guess all eyes were on the door.Beowulf moved his body, blocking their view. "Nothing," he said impatiently. "A maid
Beowulf’s POVWhat is the duty of a soldier?The old general who raised me told me from an early age. A soldier should be the most loyal, disciplined, courageous, and reliable person in the world. When the country is in chaos and the people are suffering, as long as they see soldiers, they will see hope.Soldiers are the bones of a nation. We must make sure that everyone in the military strictly follows the rules. After all, they have the power and strength to go from angel to demon at any time.The fall of a nation begins with the fall of the army. For example, soldiers are no longer strict with themselves and start to live like a villain, using their own strength to bully the weaker. This is a disgrace to the army and a tragedy for the nation.I have always been strict with my own army, but I cannot ask for other princes' armies. When I heard that some soldiers had committed adultery with my father's concubines, I angrily thrust my sword into the wall.Before my father died, his son
Beowulf’s POVI watched him run angrily to my bedroom.My guards stood before him and stopped him with shields and swords.Still furious, he shouted, "Who dares to stop me? Go away!"I walked up to him, looked up at him, and said word by word, "You're being rude here today, but I'm not going to hold it against you. Because I don't care about you and Eileen. You are a prince, and you can do a lot of things you want to do. I don't give a f.uck. But, if you touch my bottom line, I don't mind going against you. You know, I'm not afraid to cross anyone. If you don't believe me, you can try."He stared at me with what looked like fire in his eyes, but instead of barging into my bedroom, he clenched his sword and gritted his teeth angrily. "Why did you have to discipline the army today of all days? You did it on purpose!""Whenever I know someone is doing something to harm the army and the country, I will not stand idly by. I hope you understand that and don't cross that line." I looked at h
Chapter 124Beowulf’s POVI'm telling the truth.Although I have believed her innocence, this does not mean that her situation will be better.I will not spare the a.dultery women and soldiers. I need to use their blood to warn everyone that I will not allow anything dirty to happen in the army and the palace.However, it can also get her into trouble. People would talk about why she was in that room and not punished. She will be the center of the conversation and the object of speculation. All the rumors and malice would follow her like a shadow.Well, I do not care about these things. All I care about is whether the bad guys get punished, and if other people get warned about it. I only care about the result, and I don't care if anyone is wronged in the process.It is a fact that she is in that room. And I didn't blame her, I didn't mistreat her, I didn't even let the soldiers put her in a cell and interrogate her. I have given her some care, and I don't think I owe her anything.But
