Livia's POV: The days went on and on, I was played with by the tiger, I was treated like a toy and slapped by him, let go and pounced on by him, and so on and so forth. The training was almost as brutal as hell, the pressure was almost driving me crazy, but at the same time my speed, strength and skills were improving. After this training, I had to continue my work as a maid, and the exhaustion and stress made it almost impossible for me to remember anything beyond the training. I couldn't keep track of the dates until one day, when I was pounced on by the tiger again, I realized that I had used up all my strength, and the day seemed to have gone by for a long time. This is to say, I was able to escape the tiger while I still had strength. I clearly felt my progress, which brought a hint of joy to my heart. Just at this time, I saw Lucius open the cage and came towards me. “Training is well done, it's time for a break, that's it for today.” He stroked the tiger's head to get h
Lucius' POV: Is this really Livia? She was able to do this? By now I had been standing in front of the tiger's cage for a long time, and I quietly watched the scene inside the cage. Livia was dodging around under the tiger's pursuit, and she was no longer a bit panicked in the face of the huge thing behind her. She flexibly adjusted her direction through the strength of the cage bars, and every time she looked like she was about to be caught, she deftly dodged the tiger's pursuit. Her speed and dodging almost made a qualitative change, especially her reaction in the face of crisis, which I couldn't believe Livia was able to do. When she first saw the tiger she was scared to death, and even had a fever for a few days. If it was the old me, I would never have believed that this is Livia. In terms of dodging and speed I am already 100% sure she has surpassed the average samurai. Her growth rate is really too fast. The average young werewolf, even in how hard to train, wants to rea
Lucius' POV: I pondered with a frown. Legend has it that the werewolf with the wolf pearl can control all the wolves inside the forest, and he will become the wolf king of all wolves. Wait a minute, the wolf king who controls the wolves? A flash of light seemed to appear in my heart, followed by a look at my own whole body. I was standing in the forest with my shoes and feet on, wearing human clothes and possessing a human appearance, and this was the wolf king? A smile appeared at the corner of my mouth, I understood, I understood the real use of the Jewel of Camelot! I looked towards the whole forest, one hand squeezed out the jewel of Camelot tightly, and immediately after that I transformed into a wolf. The physical quality of my body rapidly increased, my sharp claws stepped firmly on the ground, and suddenly I felt a wave of energy coming from inside my claws holding the jewel of Camelot, which very easily rushed to my body, and the next moment I felt my perception abili
Livia's POV: Madam Kalliope’s face had a bright, warm smile on it, and she made my already more joyful heart become even more vibrant and warm. I took one look towards the dress and immediately afterwards I couldn't contain my fondness. This one had a much softer pattern and a lighter color, with a fresh and more forest-friendly feel to it. "Thank you madam, I love this dress very much." I couldn't wait to change into the dress, and since I was heading to the forest, I curled my hair up, suddenly feeling a little nervous. Lucius was taking me to the forest, and I wondered if it would be better for me to dress like this. I felt my heart beating incessantly, like a ball that kept hitting the ground, and I came up behind Lucius. The moment he turned his head seemed to take an inordinately long time, until I saw that there seemed to be some surprise inside his eyes and that his gaze did not leave me quickly, which brought some surprise to my heart. It seems that there is no big p
Livia's POV: Thinking of this I transformed into a human and quietly walked towards the rabbits, trying to make myself look less vicious. But what I didn't expect was that even though I had lightened my footsteps and transformed into a human, the rabbits were still running away, but not as panicked. I was not convinced and continued to follow the rabbits, but the speed of those rabbits was not slow at all, so I could not catch up with them by lightning my pace! But if I transformed into a wolf, my paws would definitely hurt the rabbits. I was a little depressed when I looked at their bouncing figures. I didn't expect that rabbits would be so difficult to catch. No, I must find a way to bring one back! Thinking of this I no longer lighten my footsteps, eyes locked on a slightly larger size of a small rabbit, and then quickly run towards it. The sound of the wind around again became strong, the rabbit seemed to sense the movement behind them, and they also began to accelerate ru
Livia's POV: This wild wolf's teeth only penetrated a little deep into my back, and my skin had just been bitten through when the muscles of my back squeezed over to stop the teeth from continuing to penetrate. After all, they were wild wolves, far inferior to the warriors of the Crescent Wolf Pack, plus after so long devil training, my strength and physical quality had also improved a lot, but it was still far from the degree that these wild wolves could not bite through my skin. The wound on my back was so painful that I shot towards the side with all my strength, and my claws instantly slapped on the abdomen of the wild wolf. My sharp claws cut through its flesh and blood, and the wolf instantly broke away from my body and crashed its body into a tree nearby. The wolf howled in pain as I slapped it with all my might, and it struggled to get up, but tried twice without success. I didn't look at the wolf again and wanted to leave, but at this time I found that the wolves surrou
Livia's POV: Just at this time, the two wild wolves in front and behind me had already pounced on me, and one of them bit my hind leg and one bit my front leg, and the severe pain came again. But now I didn't pay any attention to these pains, I frantically and angrily tore into the abdomen of the black wild wolf, the flesh and blood were broken by my bite, and soon I bit into its internal organs filled with hot and humid temperature! It struggled as if it was in a frenzy, and its claws scratched my body, but I didn't stop at all. In no time, the black wolf could no longer struggle, it was completely dead! With the death of the leader, the two wolves biting me instantly left my body, and they and the remaining two wild wolves all let out a miserable howl, followed by a swift dash into the depths of the forest! Even the wild wolf that was injured when it hit the tree also limped after it in a frenzy. I looked at the four wolf corpses on the ground and did not go after them. At th
Lucius' POV: Lan growled in my mind, I could feel some anxiety in him, but my sanity told me not to do so. "Lan, now is a good opportunity to train her, only through the real battle can she grow strong, and I'm watching right next to her, if there is a relatively large danger I will immediately save her!" I retorted Lan and proceeded to put all my attention on the battlefield, using all my strength so that I wouldn't miss every movement of Livia and these wolves. I thought Livia would have some difficulty dealing with these wolves, and I was ready to take a shot, but the next picture made my eyes slowly widen. Livia nimbly dodged the attacks of the wolves, exchanged the smallest wound for the chance to stop the attack of those wolves, and finally settled the wolves without the slightest hesitation. I was stunned by her skillful dodging and the magnitude of her power increase, I could hardly believe that this was the once fragile Livia! Especially since her already fragile stren
Livia's POV:My lips gape, horror filled my eyes as I was at lost in what to do. I was still in shock and fear as I felt my entire body trembling but I didn't pull my hands out as I knew doing that would be worse.Lucius was shocked but he quickly pulled me to his arm, his hand settled on his back while the other wrapped the entire back of my head, “Don't panic, it will be alright,” he coaxed me and from behind. “I am alright,” he said as if to assure me.Lucius didn't forget the woman behind him and utilized his powers to hit on the woman's face, rendering kalliope to an unconscious state.I was stuttering, my tears kept falling asleep I realized my terrible mistake, “L-Lucius I… I didn't want to do this. I saw you as kalliope, the magic… s-she…”“Shush,” Lucius stroked the back of my head slowly. “I will be fine. It isn't a large injury for me. Calm down Livia, you have to get a hold of yourself.”I breathed in and out. I could feel my mind in scatters as I tried to clear my eyes wh
Livia's POV:Lucius respected my decision to fight as it could easily do. Others might be able to close their eyes and let their hatred of being betrayed wash over the sadness but to me it was hard.To me, madam kalliope was the figure of a mother after my mom, the betrayal I felt was much more agonizing as I had trusted the woman to be my own family.When I joined the fight, I didn't manage to exchange a lot of words with Lucius. However, we fought hand in hand while assisting one another perfectly as if our instincts knew what we should do to help one another reach a higher level of our powers.In between the fights, I saw how one attack of kalliope can cause the entire ground to break, “how could she be this strong?”Lucius who had come next to me narrowed his eyes, “she had sold her soul to dark magic. The stronger she becomes, it would also mean in the next growing seconds, her soul is slowly leaving her body.”I looked at madam kalliope again. I was unable to comment on anything
Livia's POV:“Madam kalliope,” I called her, “Don’t do this. Please.”Madam kalliope’s eyes slowly went to lock gaze with with mine.“There is still a point you can turn back to, madam kalliope, we all have guilts.” I said to the woman with plea in my words. “I have them as well, I had killed people too. Please, I don't want to kill you.”Madam kalliope closed her eyes, “No, if you want this to end, you should kill me Livia. Maybe with this, the circle of hatred would stop.”Lucius stepped before me. He looked at me meeting my eyes, “I will take care of her. You can stand by there.”My hand reached out as Lucius had left without waiting for me to answer and I clenched my hand, settling it before me. Madam kalliope started the fight by aiming to attack the sides of Lucius with the best of her ability.Lucius was swift to avoid every last one of her attacks, “why now?” Lucius questioned the woman, “you could've executed whatever plan you have before this but why now?”Madam kalliope tr
Livia's POV:I couldn't believe who I had seen. It was madam kalliope, my eyes didn't lie to me. At first, I doubted what I saw. I wondered if it was another disguise the woman wore after my appearance peeled off only to discover that it was the truth. No matter how much I doubted my eyes, the truth was in front of my eyes as clear as the blood moon above us.“Why?” Was the only word I could ask while staring at madam kalliope who Lucius held by her neck against the pillar.Madam kalliope didn't bat an eyelid on my expression as if she had expected it. “Hm.” She answered and I shook my head.“I-I don't understand…” I walked forward. Like a child who had just had her wish shattered before her eyes, I was stricken with sadness and shock. “What do you mean, madam kalliope?”Madam kalliope closed her eyes once, opening to show the same bleak expression, “He killed my son, the only family I had left on earth. Oh, I didn't tell you abouty child?”Lucius also looked surprised at kalliope's r
Livia's POV:My eyes widened, I had realized that I wasn't the only one who had been tricked. When did this happen?“You might want to quickly find him or he will die soon,” chuckled the man and his voice boomed aloud.“Shut up!” My last anger thread snapped and the moment I screamed as if the walls would rupture from the echoes of my voice.I steadied my stance as I looked at him, I could slowly feel my humanity leaving me as I launched the final attack towards him. With my claws going into his abdomen, I tore off his skin as I felt my hand holding unto his warm wormly like intestines before finally rooting them out.He didn't seem to care much about his death, it was almost as if he knew this would happen. The powers he used in manipulating his image to look like that of Lucius, I knew immediately that it was blood magic and once one is to go I to such, they won't more that 24 hours after that. But all for what course?I didn't spend any more time to go down and I ran down the stair
Lucius' POV:On the first floor, I walked with Livia together, seeing the red moon, Livia who had no jewelry on her neck stared at the moon with a complex look. “I'm worried,” she said, “everything had turned red. Whatever I see, everything is red.”“I told you there is nothing to be worried about,” I smiled while looking at her, my eyes filled with warmth and gentleness. I reached out my hand to touch the side of her cheeks. “I am here now and if anything happens, you can activate the powers of the moon goddess in you, can you activate it now?”Livia looked at me slowly and shook her head, “I am afraid I won't be able to do that now.”My eyes slowly traveled to her and I nodded, “why so?” Livia opened her pursed lips, “I–”“I am joking my love, I know that you are currently not stable,” I answered instead of her. “I don't hear any sound of fight going on anywhere. We should find out the method of how the invaders came into our Villa.”“That means the answer might be there,” suggeste
Livia's POV:A moment passed in silence with both of us in stalemate. I stared back at Lucius with a cautious look who looked at me with an emotion filled gaze before slowly by time, his emotions faded from his eyes.“I am Lucius. Don't you see how I look?” He spread his arms, a wide grin appeared on his lips. It was a grin filled with cruelty.I shook my head, “No, you are not him. Who are you?” I asked again when Lucius took a step forward, I quickly changed into my wolf's form and aimed for the man's wrist and legs, pinning him to the wall and he fell to the ground.‘Lucius’ who was thrown on the ground grunt in pain, his expression scrunched. He lifted his chin, looking at me, “what are you doing, Livia? Are we fighting now?” “Lucius only calls me Lilly,” I said with a look of suspicion.“I am sorry I forgot it, Lilly…” said the man but his words didn't complete as I continued.“And that was a lie because Lucius only calls me Livia or sweetheart. He always walk on my pace, he wil
Lucius' POV:“Tch!” He began to lose his cool seeing how I was getting closer to him and he ran back, he realized there was only a dead end. When he looked at me, he caught the smile, the same smile of a predator who had finally driven its targets to the corner as they wanted.“You think you can kill me with that method? It will take you more time!” The beast used the remaining dead bodies on the ground to throw at me to earn him some time.“Not if I do this!” I used my hands to squeeze the beads that dangled on my neck and my speed accelerated and with the speed of light, I was already in front of this hideous monster, catching him off guard.His eyes widened because in the next second when he was still processing how he had lost the confidence he once had when he thought he could use some move. Now, he was left with nothing and my claws had went inside his chest.I watched the look on the werewolf's face as it finally sunk to him that he had lost and I raised my eyebrows at it. Did
Livia's POV:“M-Milady…” whispered madam kalliope, her breaths heaving in difficulty. Her eyes looked dazed until she saw that it was me.Don't worry, I'm here now, we should go somewhere else to tend to your wound,” I hurried the words I spoke and took one of madam kalliope's arm to round it over my neck but before I could raise my body, madam kalliope clutched to my dress tightly. My eyes widened for a moment, alarmed as I thought madam kalliope was hurting.“What's wrong?” I asked.“I just remembered. You have to be careful, L-Livia,” madam kalliope coughed for a moment. “T-the attack is only happening in the Villa's premises, for some reason the rest of the pack was spared.What? I remembered earlier when the lower werewolf was excited because he thought he had me. But that was odd. How could they enter without the other warriors being alerted?I poured my attention to madam kalliope again. “I will keep that in mind, for now, we should move to my room. It is the safest there. Stay
