Vivian’s POV"And what then?" I didn't directly answer Alen's question; instead, I asked, "Do you have more fiancées, by any chance?" Upon hearing my words, Alen first looked puzzled and then burst into laughter. I could tell that if he had been injured, he might have laughed until he was shaking all over. Alen's attitude made me somewhat angry. He had a fiancée and yet he was tempting me. When I pointed this out, he didn't seem inclined to offer any explanation, only laughter. Did he find what I said amusing? "Alen, what's so funny about this?" I waited for a whole minute, and Alen didn't stop laughing. I said with a stern face, "Are you making fun of me?" "No, Vivian, I didn't mean to make fun of you," Alen said, struggling to stop laughing, biting his lips hard, "Vivian, didn't you realize that your question was filled with jealousy? You care about me, right?" As Alen said this, I suddenly realized that I had questioned his feelings with a confrontational tone. It did sound
Albert's POVAnxiety, anger, worry. In the past few days, a myriad of negative emotions had been piling up in my chest, making it hard to breathe. But I knew I couldn't falter; I had a mission to save Delia.After bringing the unconscious Delia back to her father's pack house and into the medical room, I kept her secluded. For these past few days, I'd been transfusing her with my own blood, hoping for her to regain consciousness as soon as possible.Initially, Delia had been deathly pale and barely breathing, but with the continuous transfusions, her condition had stabilized, and her color had improved slightly.After ensuring that her body could handle it, with the help of a doctor, I removed the knife that had been stuck in her. As the blade was pulled out, a fresh wave of blood spilled from her chest. I used my magic to staunch the bleeding, working tirelessly until her wound had healed.I had expected her to wake up quickly, but to my dismay, a whole day passed with no sign of h
Albert's POVI don't know if Delia's mother ever took the magic love potion, but based on my understanding of such elixirs, sacrificing oneself just to gain another person's love is a foolish act.Alice providing the love potion to Delia's mother seemed like a betrayal of the friendship between the three of us. After this incident, Alice and I had a big argument.Alice believed she was merely fulfilling a friend's desire. Whether or not Delia's mother chose to drink the love potion was her own decision. But I saw Alice's actions as encouraging or even enabling Delia's mother to take the potion. Neither of us could persuade the other, and our relationship was irreparably damaged.My two best friends, one who left for another pack for true love, and the other with whom I had a falling out, had both gone. I didn't want to continue studying at school, so I returned to the vampire territory.Upon my return, I found myself caught in a power struggle. My brother, who tried to seize power
Kral’s POVAfter Alen and Vivian left, I rested in my tent. Everything seemed fine at first, but after a while, I suddenly felt a sense of unease.Not only me, but Alice, who was by my side, also felt something was wrong. At my request, she began to chant a spell and drew a circle on the ground in our tent. She had a special connection with Vivian, and soon the image of Vivian and Alen appeared inside the circle. Both of them seemed to be unconscious in the pack house's study."Danger!" Alice exclaimed. "They must have been drugged or charmed by Albert. He's definitely up to something. We need to stop him right away."Albert had already taken Delia, but what did he intend to do next? The only thing I could think of was that he might be planning to take Delia back to the vampire territory. If that was the case, I was ready to risk everything to prevent it."What can we do to stop him?" I asked anxiously."I can cast a teleportation spell, but it will drain a lot of my energy. Once w
Delia’s POVIt felt like I had a long dream. In the dream, I was floating in the sky. I saw my mother, I saw Kral, and I saw Alen and Vivian. I even saw Albert. In my dream, he wasn't a villain, just a pitiful man who couldn't have the one he loved. I felt my eyelids heavy. I tried so hard to open my eyes, but it took a lot of effort to lift them just a tiny bit. A blinding light shone through as I opened my eyes. I followed the light, slowly and tentatively lifting my eyelids. I realized I was back in my own bedroom. I touched the familiar bed, thinking of the happy days I had spent here, cuddling with Kral. Those were some of the best days of my life. My body felt a bit stiff. I tried to move my limbs, hoping to sit up by supporting myself with my hands. But before I could do that, the bedroom door swung open. I looked towards the door, where Vivian entered, carrying a tray of food. "Delia!" Vivian hesitated for a moment and, upon realizing I was awake, she hurried into my
Delia’s POVI was determined to stay by Kral's side until he woke up. Without Lycan blood, I couldn't feed him blood directly to awaken him, so I had to rely on time and unwavering determination to achieve a positive outcome. To care for him better, I remained in my wolf form. My wolf was smaller than his, but it allowed me to embrace him. We slept entwined together in the cave, day after day.I stayed with Kral in the cave, while Alen kept a close eye on us. He regularly brought us essential supplies and took some time to chat. From him, I learned that both his and Vivian's love lives were thriving. Alen had marked Vivian, and she willingly chose to stay in the pack to live with Alen.As for Bud, Alen mentioned that he found Catherine at the werewolf kingdom border. He said he wouldn't stand by and let Catherine be forced into things she didn't like anymore. I wasn't sure about their future, but I believed that Bud's determination would lead to his desired outcome.Seasons came
Sibyl’s POV"Why do you think our royal family should raise a princess born of a concubine like you?"The Queen stood on a high dais, a gorgeous dress showing off her noble status. She said in a disdainful tone while admiring her exquisite nails.The princess kneeling at the bottom of the steps trembled. "Because we are the daughters of His Majesty ......""Shut up! You are just girls born to lowly women. Your existence is a mistake. Do you really think you are a princess? Do you think I let you live in the palace as a princess, just out of kindness?"The girl did not dare to speak. She was indeed a princess. 18 years ago, the emperor raped a woman of low status in a drunken stupor and then gave birth to her."Now it's your turn, the so-called princess, to repay the emperor and me."The girl lifted her head, and her eyes filled with bewilderment."The king of the Werebear country needs a concubine."The girl's eyes were filled with horror."You know, our country is at war with them. A
Sibyl’s POVI was standing in my room.The small bedroom was separated by a translucent curtain.I was standing inside the curtain. There were neatly folded tunics and gowns beside the bed, and some fine pearls and jewels on the dresser.My hand gently touched those luxurious clothes and decorations. The expensive silk has a unique touch, making it feel like you are touching the clouds in the sky. Gold threads were compiled in it, but did not add to its weight. Instead, a warm feeling is born in the contact between the gold leaf and the skin. And those pearls growing from the deep sea with a faint silver luminescence, as if to add a sacred and mysterious attraction to her master.As a princess, I had never seen such a gorgeous dress. I had only read in books about these things that only the royal family could own. They certainly did not belong to me, but were lent to me by the Queen as my gown to meet my fiancé tonight.I took off my own old, washed-out dress while recalling the conve
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
