Chapter Five: Same thing

"He… he agreed?" Roselle's face was suddenly drained of all colour. However, her facial expressions did not change in the slightest. 

"I haven't met my husband or the prince yet, but it appeared this was what the council had concluded and decided on. If the prince had not given his consent, there would be no way that anyone could have made a move." 

"I see…" was all Roselle said. But her reaction was clear to the Duchess. It was obvious Roselle was affected and was even probably devastated, and heart broken, judging from the dispirited look in her eyes. 

This was not what the duchess had expected. Didn't she hate Romeo that she didn't even allow him to sleep with her in the same room? Rowena had heard that yesterday, the prince left the princess' room and slept somewhere else. Even the servants have started gossiping, saying that the princess must have kicked him out in the middle of the day. 

So, what was with her betrayed expression now? Could it be that they were missing out on an important piece of information? This could spell out a disaster if things were not handled correctly. 

"I would like to retire now, Duchess Aurora. It's been a pleasure to meet and speak with you." Roselle forced a small smile and then turned away to leave. Her voice, her forced smile, and the sorrowful look in her eyes… It was crystal clear to the duchess on how hard she was struggling to keep her emotions in check. These were not the reactions and expressions of a wife who does not care about her husband at all. In fact, she was behaving as if her husband had betrayed their love and marriage vows despite giving her heart to him! What exactly was happening here? 

It appeared she and the rest of them were wrong to believe in the rumors. But her, not allowing Romeo to touch her wasn't a rumor. Could it be that the princess was slowly falling for the prince now? 

"Please slowdown Milady. You might fall." Elijah said when Roselle hastened her pace, desperately wanting to get back to the security of the room she shared with Romeo. 

Elijah was also surprised at what he had heard. He was not aware about this as he had yet to meet with the prince since the prince left for the meeting. Did he really agree? He highly doubted it but since he was certain that the Duke and the Duchess would never do anything without the Prince's permission, he could only take it as the truth. The Duke had never done anything against the Prince's wishes before. 

And because Elijah and all the other five loyal men of Prince Romeo had also been urging their master to sire a child, he could not hide his relief and gladness. They understood the importance of having another royalty. It was all for Prince Romeo's sake as well. Everyone who supported the prince wanted this so badly that all of them would probably do anything to make it happen, if only the Prince was not against it. 

Roselle suddenly lost her balance as she stepped on her skirt due to her rushed steps. Thankfully, Elijah caught her right on time, just before she could fall to her face. 

"Your Highness, please. I just told you to slow do…" Elijah could not continue his statement because he finally saw the look in Elijah's face. Oh no… he had totally forgotten about the lady. 

Hiding her face, Roselle pulled away from Elijah as she rushed forward again. Realizing that the lady was not happy at all and even looked as if her heart were crushed, Elijah couldn't help but worry. He didn't expect her to be affected this badly and take it so harsh, since he knows that she still didn't allow the prince to touch her. 

Could it be because she's worried that the Prince will eventually marry one of his concubines? He remembered how she reacted about the issue with Lady Thea back in the capital and Elijah's worry skyrocketed. He was certain that the reason why she went to the little forest and encountered a beast was because she was angry and hurt, thinking that the prince was going to take on another wife. 

Afraid that she was going to do something that would end up hurting herself, Elijah slightly panicked. The prince would probably kill him if something happened to her. He must do something to calm her. He must reassure her that there was nothing to worry about. 

"Milady, uhm… I hope you can understand this. I know you're already aware about the brewing war between the prince and the fake royal family so everyone is really unstable right now." He started explaining as he walked beside her. 

But Roselle continued, seemingly determined to finally reach her room and shut him out. "Everyone is urging the prince to sire a child to secure the royal bloodline. And that's why they could only resort to this. You know that Werewolves don't conceive children easily, right? So having him take more than two concubines would be the most ideal way to increase the chance of him siring a child." 

Roselle wished she could close her ears and shut down her mind. She didn't want to hear any more. Yes. She knew. She was completely aware about this matter that Elijah had mentioned. The importance of the damn bloodline. Because her own family was suffering from this and unfortunately… her father did the same, just for the sake of producing an heir, since her mother was unable to give him a male child. She could not believe she was going to go through this as well. 

"And you are already aware about the fact that it is almost impossible for a human and a Werewolf to have a child together, right? So… I hope you can understand why this had to happen, Milady. The people are desperate for a reassurance especially during this troubling times. They want to do everything and anything possible to secure the royal bloodline before the war starts." 

"So please don't worry, Milady. Because I am certain His Highness will never take another wife. You will be his only wife. The concubines' sole purpose is to bear His Highness an heir." He continued and Roselle almost laughed. 

These same things were told to her mother as well. She wondered how painful it was for her mother. Now that she was being told the same thing. She wondered how her mother managed herself during those times and most probably, until now. Because it already felt unbearable to her… even though she didn't even love him… She didn't? Then why was this impossible painful feeling running throughout her whole being right now?

    Roselle ended up spending the entire time waiting up for Romeo in their room, sometimes pacing up and down, sometimes sitting on the bed in a daze – but he never did appear. She eventually fell into a troubled and fitful sleep, plagued with a painful and heavy heart. When she finally woke up, her gaze immediately fell to the empty side of their bed before she turned her head towards the window. It was already night. Though she slept, it felt as though she did not get any rest but suffered greater mental torture if it was even possible. A bitter smile curved on Roselle's lips. Her resigned heart could only conclude that he must have gone ahead and slept with those beautiful concubines of his. No matter how she tried to deny her feelings nor ignore it, the reality is that she hated how her heart squeezed in pain. A soft bitter chuckle escaped from her lips as she buried her face in her palms. She could not help but laugh because now that her husband finally did what she had been expec

    Roselle stiffened at his words but she maintained her indifference. "Nothing happened." "Look at me, Rosella." He said firmly. And when Roselle refused to obey, Romeo took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a brief moment, and opened them again. "Don't make me repeat myself…" Roselle finally turned, and she could not believe that even at this moment, the stunning beauty of the man before her still could cause her breath to catch in her throat. Why does he have to be this bewitching? Trying her hardest to keep her emotion hidden from him, Roselle looked at him with emotionless eyes. The muscle in Romeo's cheek ticked along his jaw but he stayed very still for a long moment, as if he were having his very own internal battle within him while scrutinizing his wife's face. "Alright… I won't ask why you're acting like this anymore." His gaze softened. "Why don't you question me instead, wife? Won't you dig and find out the reason why I couldn't spend the day with you?" came his impossi

    Romeo finally lifted his head from the thoughts of his maddening wife that were plaguing his mind and realized that no one else were in the room but the ladies who were with him. This made him narrow his eyes dangerously. The bolder one of the two women was already undressing in front of him. "Your Highness, we could tell you're in a very foul mood. Did your wife kick you out of your bed again? Do not worry, we are here to serve and please you, Your Highness." The other woman whispered to him as she caressed his chest seductively. "Let us help you relax." She added as the other woman approached him, naked. Romeo felt the rage he was trying so hard to suppress rapidly explode out of him. "Who gave you both the permission to do this!?" he snarled in a wintry, hostile voice. "Y-Your Highness, pl-please don't think about anything else and –" His eyes immediately burned red, and aura flamed outwards, causing the women to be knocked back a few steps and they even started to tremble just

    "Evie…" Not knowing what to do, Romeo slowly lifted his hands and reverently touched her face, resting them below her ears. Her cheeks were icy cold it made his heart ache even more but what struck him the hardest were her tears. "I'm sorry…" his voice cracked a little and he then inched forward, erasing the space between them, he buried his face in her hair and held her, almost desperately. "I'm so sorry… this is a misunderstanding. Those ladies. I never allowed it. I never agreed. I didn't even know the duke had called them here." He explained as fast as he could. "Please. Don't cry. I was outside the castle since yesterday, surveying the frontlines in preparation for the war. It was so sudden as I received an urgent report informing that the crown prince was on his way here to siege the city. I only arrived a while ago and came straight to you." Roselle couldn't believe what she was hearing. The warmth of him as he hugged her so tightly, the desperate tone he was using, the crack

    Shocked with utter embarrassment, Roselle automatically reached down and grabbed Romeo's hair to stop his face from reaching her most private area. Her face was as red as a cooked lobster as she looked down at him with wide-opened eyes. Romeo peeked up at her and his eyes glimmered more startlingly than usual. A hint of devious yet relaxed and hypnotic smile graced the corners of his mouth. Without averting his eyes from hers, he licked her inner thigh, causing Roselle to tremble and gasp again. Her hands on his head grasped onto his hair tighter and he took advantage of her disorientation, moving further towards his goal. His breath was hot as he trailed his searing tongue along her soft skin. "Don't worry, I'll make you feel good, wife." He said huskily, sounding as though he was soothing her with his mouth and tongue. "Open your legs for me, love…" he coaxed, and she did not know how she ended up doing so when he was not even holding her legs with his hands. She could feel him

    Reluctantly, he finally eased away and pulled the blanket over her. He was about to stand when Roselle reached out and tugged on his robe. "Where… where are you going?" she asked, her face suddenly anxious as her fingers tightened on his robe without realisation. "I have an errand to take care of." He responded, as his gaze tilted towards the door and the commotion that was going on outside for a long while now. "Errand?" "Mm. Don't worry, I'm not going to leave again without telling you first." he smiled contentedly and kissed her forehead, causing her colour to rise again. "I'll come back as soon as I deal… as soon as I am done saying a few words to them." ... The duke and everyone else involved were waiting anxiously in the throne hall where it was silent and tense as they all stood before Romeo. When they were suddenly summoned by the prince with such an urgency, they could not help but feel threatened. Aside from his stubbornness, Prince Romeo had been a good and incredibl

    Clad in a furry and thick white cloak, Roselle stood at the top of the tallest watchtower at the City's entrance. Romeo was standing next to her – a sight to behold as well as he stood tall and elegant clad entirely in black – holding her hand, and watching her silvery hair being blown behind her by the gentle cold breeze. Roselle had her eyes fixed at the vast snow-white meadow spread out before them, realizing from what her eyes were looking at, that Dacria was truly a fortified city. The giant ancient walls that seemed to be made from black stones looked so formidable and impregnable. No human army could ever manage to breach these fortifications and seize such a place like this. Now that she was looking at the full view of the entire fortress, and saw what a formidable stronghold Dacria actually was, Roselle could not help but look on with wonder. Why did the Dacrians ever thought of creating and building such gigantic walls in the first place? Was there an unknown reason that p

    Roselle glanced at the bed and innocently nodded. But the next moment, her expression changed. "But… why?" she asked hesitantly. "Did something happen between you and the duke?" "No, love. Nothing happened. I simply said some kind words to him as a reminder and everything's fine now." He immediately answered with a smile. "I am needed here and since I don't want to leave you all alone in the castle, I decided to bring you here with me. Moreover, I don't want any more misunderstanding between us. Given our track record, I'm afraid that something will happen again if I leave you, so I'd better keep you close to me. This is alright with you, right?" he gave her a mischievous grin, letting her know that he was teasing her and taking the sting out of his words, just in case she felt slighted at him referencing all their previous misunderstandings with each other. When Roselle just stared at him without answering, Romeo craned his head and moved his face closer to hers until his breath

    Roselle was so curious within the protective confines of her thick and furry coat, because it had already been a while since they have left and yet Romeo was still running and leaping. She could tell they had already left Dacria and by now she was certain they were already quite far from the city.Anticipation bloomed in her chest, maybe because this was the first time in a long while she was going out of the secluded city. And he also said he was going to bring her somewhere magical.A long while later, Romeo finally halted but he did not immediately put her down on the ground. He had kept her tucked securely in his arms as he walked."Where are we?" Romeo asked, it was dark, but she could tell that they were in a thick forest."We're now at the border of the Northern empire and Crescent Land."Roselle's eyes immediately widened with shock and alarm. From what she had heard, the Crescent Land, also known as the forbidden land was the most dangerous place in the entire Lirea. It was a

    The both of them were silent for a moment as they looked at the necklace. After a couple of seconds, both Romeo and Roselle looked up and their eyes met with similar questions reflected in each other's gaze. What was the meaning of this? Why did this black gem suddenly resonate with Roselle as soon as it touched her skin?Romeo had his brows creased at the strange occurrence. Wealthy Werewolves and even few humans had worn this same gem and they remained black. Never had this event ever occurred before in the long history of the Werewolf. The only known change of color of the gem was only when if it was reflected against the moonlight. Romeo had never known anyone else who could make the gem change its colour into something else aside from black and silver before. If something like this happened before, everyone would definitely know, and most especially him."Oh my god!" Roselle finally exclaimed, wide-eyed, as her gaze darted back and forth between her necklace and Romeo. "This is s

    "Does that piece strike your fancy, my love?" Romeo whispered in her ear when he saw her eyeing that peculiar and strange necklace with a black stone set in it. They were currently in a small but tasteful jewellery shop that was along the road where they were strolling by. Romeo noticed that Roselle had been eyeing something in one specific display rack so he guessed it must have been this particular piece which had caught her eye."I never saw one like this before. I used to see diamonds and colourful jewelleries but this one… the stone is so black. What do you call this gem?" Roselle's voice was contemplative, musing about the stone that was set in this necklace. Back in her homeland and as the daughter of the guardian, what kind of jewelleries has she not seen? And which type of gemstones have not graced the storage boxes of their family's home? However, even with the varieties she had seen, this was one that was unique and in a class all on its own."That's from the forbidden land

    At one point, a young boy suddenly approached them. He looked up at her and held out a hand that had a flower towards Roselle.Roselle was shocked as she looked at Romeo. Within her eyes, he saw how emotional she was. When Romeo nodded at her, Roselle knelt in front of the boy with a smile as she accepted the flower that was so beautiful it looked very magical. It was glowing under the moonlight."Is this for me?" Roselle gently asked, awed and feeling emotional. She never expected that a boy would actually approach her and even giving her flowers!"Yes, Princess." The boy nodded vigorously as he smiled back, and Roselle could not stop herself from reaching out to the boy."May I hug you?" Roselle asked. This was the very first time a Werewolf approached her without any wariness. And the boy was so adorable and sweet.The boy blinked and then he gazed up at Romeo. When Romeo nodded at him, the boy's smile widened as he jumped into Roselle's embrace as he let Roselle hug him."Thank yo

    They met Romeo's men by the gate and everyone was hiding their smirks as they confronted Romeo secretly through their eye communication. Though Roselle did not know what they were conversing about, she knew enough that there was some kind of banter going on between the men. However, she happily ignored it for the more fun option of looking forward to their sight seeing adventure into the bright sparkly town."Did you have a good day Your Highness?" they asked mischievously, "I hope you didn't let our efforts go to waste.""Go tell the duke and duchess to return to the castle." Romeo ordered, ignoring his men's words."Oh, and why? We're willing to empty the castle for as long as you want. I mean, until the princess is with the heir."Romeo's expression darkened. As much as he wanted to solo his wife without any interruption, he must always keep in mind his limitations. No matter how great Roselle responds to him, he knew better that his strength was just too much for her to handle if

  • My Werewolf Prince Charming   Chapter Sixty seven: Sleepy

    Romeo's main aim in quickly bringing her to the garden with the excuse for a walk was to avoid jumping on her like this but here they were, kissing in an open place and he did not know if he could still stop if no one comes to disturb them now. In fact, the reason he thought the garden was safer was because he knew someone would definitely pass by and he was banking on that to wake him up from his desires.But to his surprise, no one came. He could not even feel anyone's presence at all. Gods, could it be that they emptied the garden too? No, wait….could it be that they had even emptied out the whole castle?!Romeo growled low, burying the sounds in Roselle's mouth. His hands had already freed Roselle's breast and was already sucking on them as Roselle clutched onto his hair. It had just happened too fast, and he was behaving like a beast in heat. He felt as though he did not even have the moment to battle against himself. Maybe because Roselle was so welcoming as if she wanted this t

    "Huh?" Roselle creased her brows, "who's seducing who again? I just said I'm not worried." Roselle retorted."And why are you not worried, huh? My love?" he raised a perfectly arched brow at her, "are you perhaps thinking that I'm kidding you when I said I will make love with you in every corner of this castle?"Roselle's heartbeat raced at his words and she felt her face become hotter as she began to actually imagined him doing that, making love to her outside their bedroom. "Y-you said… you'll behave," she said as she forced herself to put her attention to the food on her plate instead of the embarrassing things she just thought about. It mortified her that her mind seemed becoming naughtier now."Sometimes…" Romeo continued her words and Roselle was forced to lift her eyes and looked at him. Their eyes met and Roselle thought that he would rise from his seat and pounce on her. But he groaned low and threw his head back. "Good lord…" he uttered as he took a deep breath and grabbed t

    Leaning against Romeo's shoulders, Roselle was trying to suppress her little hiccupping spell as well as trying her best to stop her tears, knowing that Romeo would be concerned as well if she cried too long. His gentle caresses soothed her and soon enough, under his gentle coaxing and ministrations, she was able to control her emotions and calm her outward expressions of distress. He was right, he is here with her now, safe, and stronger than that younger boy that he was in the past. She reminded herself that this was the most important thing to her for now.Roselle just continued to hang onto Romeo, quietly hugging him, her arms wrapped tightly around his midsection and hands fisted into his clothes, breathing in deeply and taking in his masculine scent that she loved and feeling this incredible emotion of wanting to be always by his side, if possible, from now on, no matter what happens. She would never let him face and fight his battles – emotional or physical – all alone ever aga

    "I was born and grew up under the earth Roselle…" he started, and Roselle did her best to keep still at what she heard. Though she could not help but tilt her head to one side as she tried to understand what he meant by that statement. She already knew he had grown up in the dungeon from what his men had told her. But for the fact that he was born there too, was what made her heart clench and ache. "I don't know what exactly happened. Why I was even there in the first place. Something seemed to have happened and I had lost my memories. I just opened my eyes and I found myself running for my life, fighting against all sorts of beasts on my own. There was no one else around me, no one to help me. If I had not found a way to kill and survive, I would have died there at the mercy of those beasts without anyone else knowing. I didn't even know the reason for why I was running away or to where I was supposed to go. I just fought and fought endlessly for days and nights. I believed it was th
