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
Beowulf’s POV"I know what you're thinking!" The eldest prince was ready to fight. He glared at me, his nostrils widening with anger. His back arched slightly, like a hill.I got into a fighting pose, too, and sneered. "So, tell me what I'm thinking.""You're obsessed with that princess! You ignored her sin in order to possess her. And now you're fighting me for her. I thought you weren't interested in women, but you're just a l.ustful and selfish person.""Whatever you say," I didn't bother to explain. In his eyes, everyone's starting point is self-interest."I'm not going to let you get what you want today," he bellowed, charging at me and punching me in the chest.That was fast.The eldest prince is a famous warrior in our country. His fighting skills are almost unmatched.I turned sideways to avoid his fist, but I was still hit in the arm by his fist.It hurts.He immediately turned, raised his right leg, ready to attack my lower body.I can't just be defensive. I have to attack.
Selene’s POVHe walked slowly into the bedroom, to the closet, and began to take off his coat.I can only hold my breath and dare not make any noise. The only sounds in the room were the rustling of clothes and the burning of candles.It's too quiet. It makes me even more nervous."How are you feeling?" He changed into his pajamas and turned to look at me.His tall body blocked the light of the candle, and I felt more like a prey that had fallen into a trap.I moved carefully to the inside of the bed. "I'm fine... Oh, no, I'm still dizzy..."Before I could finish, his big hand covered my forehead again. "You don't have a fever anymore. Get some rest. I've prepared a maid for you. You don't have to do any cleaning work from now on. You're the master, not the servant."I bit my lip, not knowing how to answer him. After a few seconds of hesitation, I whispered, "Thank you. I can take care of myself."His hand touched my arm. "You're too thin. You need exercise. Your maid has been in fema
Selene’s POVIt was a long, uncomfortable sleep.One nightmare after another, I remember the painful things in the dream again. I knew I was dreaming, and I tried to wake up, but in vain, only to let the nightmare swallow me up."Your grace, wake up," a woman's voice called out to me."Ah..." I finally broke free from the nightmare, holding the quilt, gasping for breath."Your grace, you had a nightmare. But it's all right now." My maid wiped the sweat from my forehead with a handkerchief.Your grace?"No, don't call me that," I said. A title is like a chain that binds a person to a position he or she cannot leave.The maid looked at me and whispered, "His Highness cares about you. He sent the servants to buy you many jewels and clothes this morning. And he said you could stay in his bedroom. I can see that he likes you very much. Now that the old king is dead, the whole capital is in turmoil and danger. You're just a princess from another country. You have no family here. If princes
Selene’s POVBack in the bedroom, I ran to the closet, grabbed a clean set of clothes, and was ready to rush out."Where are you going?" He grabbed my arm."I... I'm going to take a shower," I stammered."I have my own bathroom." Then he carried me on his shoulder.My maid turned away from us.I was angry and ashamed, but I didn't dare to shout, so I let him take me to the next bathroom.As we entered the bathroom, the heat blurred my vision. I saw the figures of several maids swaying before me."Get out, all of you, and no one can come in without my permission," Beowulf said to the maid."Yes, Your Highness." The maids left the house."Put me down," I said angrily.He led me into the bathroom and put me on a soft mat.I quickly got up and crossed my arms in a defensive posture.He laughed. "Don't be afraid. Just take a bath. I won't do anything else."I didn't believe him and still looked at him warily.He ignored my reaction and started undressing right in front of me.I immediately
Selene’s POVI haven't seen Beowulf in 3 days, since he stormed out of the bathroom after I rejected him.On the one hand, I was a little worried that his anger would cause me more trouble. On the other hand, I enjoyed my temporary freedom.I wasn't put up in any other room, so I stayed in his bedroom. For the past three days I have been very careful, walking only in the garden in front of my bedroom, trying not to attract any more attention.But I still got a lot of invitations. The whole capital seemed to know about me overnight, and the aristocratic ladies began inviting me to events and banquets. On their invitations, they addressed me respectfully as Madam and wished Beowulf and me good health.For the first time since I came to this country, I felt this kind of social enthusiasm. In the past, when noble women saw me in the palace, they would raise their heads and look up at me, using their noses to make disdainful sounds, and then walk past me as if they didn't see me, while I c
Selene’s POVHis kiss moved up to my neck and down to my chest, and then he stuck out his soft tongue and gently licked my breasts, making a sucking sound as he did so."Oh," I groaned.I bit my lip right away. God, is that me?No, I shouldn't make that sound.He smirked and licked my n.ipples repeatedly on purpose. My stomach felt tight. I was nervous and confused the last time he took my v.irginity, but this time I knew exactly what I was getting into.I did not resist him violently, and I knew I was acquiescing in his behavior.To marry a father and then his son is to be laughed at in my country. I don't know how to face the rumors when I get back to my country. Oh, I think I'll change my name and hide my identity.I was taught that a woman should not have s.exual desire, women should remain chaste, not to have s.ex before marriage. My belief in these words has now wavered. Many women try to be a good woman who meets these criteria, but we don't achieve happiness.Make love to him.
Sibyl’s POV"He lied to me. I have s.ex with him, but he didn't bring me back." Selene's eyes were red with tears.I held her and patted her on the back. "It's okay, you're back now. No one can make you do anything.""You don't have to be so pessimistic. You haven't lost anything. He's physically strong, he's got great s.ex skills, and you're having fun, aren't you?" Laughs Lowa, "A lot of women have never had such great s.ex in their lives. Just think of him as a sexual partner. And he's free."Lowa raised an eyebrow at Selene.Selene blushed, looked down, and stopped crying."So, what's your plan? How did you get out?" Asked Lowa curiously."I..." Selene's face reddened. "I pretended to be submissive and he let his guard down. Then at the ceremony of the old king's funeral, I took a drink and pretended to be drunk. Beowulf asked the maid to take me back to rest while he continued the ritual. It was a crowded day, and I took the opportunity to slip away and hide in a farmer's cart ca
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
