In the castle of Nightingale, many bodies were lying and bleeding. However, only a few died because Xavier made every effort to keep casualties to a minimum in this battle. "The other soldiers who gave up have been taken into custody..." Kai informed Xavier. The second one is in the king's room, looking at the records. "Good," Xavier said with a frown. "Take care of their wounds and meet all their needs." He was reading a list of the taxes that the people had to pay. "What do you plan to do with the kingdom now that you've taken it back?" "Only the castle can be taken back. If I want to take back the throne, I need the soldiers and the people to back me up..." "Can that happen? They have never met you..." "Well, that's why I'm going to tell them who I am. I'll give them what they've asked for for a long time..." Kai doesn't ask about Xavier's plan because he is more intelligent than most people. He has no choice but to do what he says. The soldiers who stayed loyal to Xavier w
Lyca made a fist and looked at the men around her. She isn't sure if she will acknowledge them, but since she doesn't know them, Lyca decides not to. "If you were the black wolf from last night, you already know I don't want to die... But I won't stay here because of that! As I've already said, I have a very important job to do!"Xavier stopped leaving the house after Lyca said that, but he didn't turn around or say anything. So, she spoke up again. "Also, thanks for being so kind... I'll pay you all back when the time is right. "Xavier said, "Yes," and left the house."Princess, don't be afraid to go back or call for Xavier if you feel like something is wrong with your body. Since he made you, he knows how to make you feel better.""What are these guys doing? I can't believe I'll meet a man like this in my whole life. How can they say crazy things and not feel bad?" Lyca said this as she kept walking.Xavier looks at Snow as she walks away, his worry for her still there."If it bothe
Lyca's point of view."You can't get away from me! I'll track you down even if it means going to the end of the world!" Queen Annabelle screams and laughs. Her hand is covered in blood, and the king's chopped body is in front of her."NO!" I scream and jerk up from lying. While panting, I was stunned for a few seconds. Although it is only a nightmare, it appears to be real.But it's true! It occurred last night, "- Father... I'm sorry; it's my fault- If I hadn't rushed and devised a better plan, you wouldn't have met such a tragic end... Queen Annabelle will not assassinate you..." As my tears continued to fall, I sobbed.I'm not sure how long I stayed that way; I just stopped when I heard voices in the distance. Then I was taken aback. "What occurred? I was last night-" I came to a halt and examined my arms. "Can you save me from the black wolf?" I utter as I notice my arm wrapped in a bandage.————-"XavierThis will not do! That girl can't possibly stay here!"(Are they referring to
"Oh, God, please assist me... I don't want to pass away..." Lyca muttered as she looked around her. She had just wanted to get away from Albert, so she ran without stopping, not considering the possibility that, in addition to the man chasing her, there was another risk she needed to consider."Ah-ooh..."Lyca squeezes herself into the bush, her heavy breathing suppressed. "So, what should I do now? I can't stay here any longer..." She muttered as she wiped sweat beads from her brow. "—it's dangerous, but I need to find a safer place," Lyca said.Her feet tremble as she hears the howl of an identified animal; however, she needs to strengthen her feeling in order to leave this place.Lyca resumes her cautious walk after resting, but her mind is still preoccupied with the previous event."What are you, Queen Annabelle?" Lyca screamed in agony. "— I never imagined such a beautiful person as you could do such horrible things..."[A distant crackling sound with a cold breeze...]Lyca came t
Albert smiled as he fiddled with the hunting knife in his hand. "Do you believe you can fool me so easily? Even if you hide at the end of the world, I can find you."Matthew quickly hid Lyca behind his back. "You and your Queen will not be able to atone for your sins! Surrender and repent now, or my father will not tolerate you! He will burn you until your bodies are reduced to ash!" He retorted, his teeth clenched."Oh, my goodness! Do you think you're in a position to warn the Queen and me, Prince Matthew?" Albert responded sarcastically."You can't go up against him... Let's take off; let's get out of here!" Lyca muttered under her breath, her body trembling. She didn't want to admit to Matthew that she was terrified, but she was struggling.Matthew tightened his grip on Lyca's hand. "Don't be concerned. My guard has arrived in our kingdom. They'll arrive at our castle before sunrise-""... I'm sorry to disappoint you, Prince Matthew, but your bodyguard has long since died! So don't
Lyca POV.As Prince Matthew and I quietly walked down the hall, we could hear a pin drop in the castle. Even though there was no one around, we did not relax our guard."There," I say to Matthew as I point to the right side of the castle, "is the secret door to the tunnel.""You'll see a statue of a lion in the corner. To get to the hidden passage, you have to turn the head." Even though I need Matthew's help, the most important thing to me is still his safety."Use that passage if there's a problem. You are what the Queen wants, not me. So, nothing bad will ever happen to me because of this." Matthew was sure of everything he said, so I just nodded, but I still had doubts in my heart.Matthew is right. Our country gets along well with their country. Because of this, the Queen will never think about killing him, but this doesn't mean he is safe. As we walked, I kept mumbling to myself.We make it to the part of the castle where my father, King Wilbert, is.Matthew said, "... Wait here
When he hears his name, Xavier sprints away as quickly as the wind. Even though he was following Lyca, he chose to maintain his distance. However, Xavier's attention was drawn to another odor, and as a result, Xavier decided to investigate where the odor originated. However, before he could get very far, he heard Lyca calling his name and she stopped him."Damn it! It began, but there was still a long way to go. There is still light from the moon!" As Xavier watched Lyca convulse on the ground, he made the assertion."Ahhh!!!" Lyca wailed out in agony as she continued to cry out in convulsions. Because the discomfort is present throughout her entire body, she is unsure of which part of her body to touch first."I'm here... Don't be concerned, "Xavier murmured something as soon as he got within hearing distance. He did not waste any time and picked up Lyca right away. Xavier hushed, "—We need to go to a safe place," and started running as quickly as he could.Lyca looks at Xavier as she
"Hmm..." Lyca grumbled in irritation. She doesn't open her eyes as she holds on to something. Since it was cold outside, she put her arms around the person next to her to keep warm."Princess, the sun is shining at its brightest. I'm afraid I can't let you continue your sleep, "Xavier told Lyca something in her ear.Lyca quickly opened her eyes when she heard Xavier's voice. The first thing she saw was his broad chest. It turns out that Xavier's body is the warm thing that puts her to sleep. Lyca moves away right away to hide the shame she was feeling."You — you rude and rude man! I told you to stay away from me last night." Lyca screams very loudly to hide her shame.Xavier sneered. "I did... But you hugged me all night long, so I don't have a choice "He replied and stood up with confidence.Lyca couldn't turn away from Xavier's naked body because she had already seen it. Last night, she was in a lot of pain, so she didn't notice how Xavier looked. But now that she's feeling better,

"I nearly forgot about him!" Lyca mumble. She didn't go away. Instead, she turned around and decided to find out who the wolf in the castle was. So Lyca walked down the path toward where she heard the voice. But the longer Lyca walks, the more she knows the person in front of her. "What's happening? This castle has a wolf... Is he one of Xavier's followers?" Then, a few minutes later, she got an answer to her question. Adam was in the room that was the farthest away. His arms and feet were both chained. Lyca can tell by how he looks that he has been hurting for a few days. "Adam! Adam! Wake up! What's wrong with you?" Lyca asked as she got close to the man, who was now half asleep. Adam only groaned because he was tired. He didn't even open his eyes. Since he went bad, his wolf has become wild and restless. And it makes Adam lose his strength. "Adam, it's me, Lyca... What brought you here?" Lyca asked and looked at the chain that was around Adam's neck. Adam took a deep breath a
Lyca carefully left the room, and before she ran, she looked to her left and side. "I only have an hour, or else the woman won't talk," she said under her breath as she hurried down the hall to the royal kitchen. Lucky for Lyca, she didn't meet one of Albert and Wesley's friends. If she had, she would have a hard time explaining, or even worse; they wouldn't believe her no matter what she said. One of the staff in the royal kitchen bowed and asked, "Your Grace, what are you doing here?" "I've come to ask for food... I wanted to make my late father an offer. Can you give me a hand?" Lyca asked in a quiet voice. Even though she was shocked, the servant nodded. "Your Grace, do you want an offering every week?" Lyca looked at the kitchen and asked. "I wanted to make a meal fit for a king... I don't think I need to say more about my wish..." "Of course, your grace..." "You have only an hour to get everything ready..." Lyca turned around and sat down at the long table after she said t
Lyca's point of view. "What exactly is going on? Who conquered Nightingale's kingdom?" I inquired as I carefully walked towards the chamber where the queen had murdered my father. "If Serus falls, Queen Annabelle will not stand by and watch... She'll make her move, and that'll be my opportunity." I said it, but deep down, I couldn't stop being grateful for what had happened. Then I arrived at the chamber where the worst event in my life occurred. I couldn't stop my hands from shaking while holding back tears as I opened the door. I feel like I've been transported back to the night the queen murdered my father right in front of me. When I pushed the door, it grunted. The room was dusty, and cobwebs clung to every nook and cranny. Clearly, no one was using it. My attention was then drawn to my father's bed. I couldn't stop my tears from falling as I approached the bed. "Father... I miss you..." I sobbed as I rubbed the mattress. I couldn't mourn my father's death because everythi
Lyca had a hard time over the next few days. Wesley wouldn't leave her alone, so she couldn't do what she wanted. But in the end, Lyca learned that Wesley had forgotten she was a wolf. Even though Lyca worries about him, she sees it as a chance. Wesley stays with her as a guard, but he can't go into her room, so Lyca can leave her room without being found. Wesley followed Lyca one day as she walked to the library, as she always did. She saw King Alexander hurrying to Queen Annabelle's room. So she thought of a way to get away from Wesley's eyes. And Matthew was coming toward us on foot. "I need to talk to prince Matthew, so please wait here..." Lyca said and gave Matthew a hand signal. The second one frowned, but he went up to him anyway. "Princess..." "I have something to tell you about your father, King Alexander..." When Matthew heard this, he paid attention right away. "Did you talk to him? How did he answer?" Lyca nodded. "Yes, but I need some time alone with you..." Mat
"I'm glad you're here, my love... Come hang out with us!" Matthew said this as he stood up to meet Annabelle with a big smile. Annabelle smiled and gave Matthew a hug as she greeted him, but her eyes were on Lyca. "Since last night, I've been looking everywhere for you. Where did you go? You're not even in your room..." Annabelle said this with a serious look on her face. "Oh, I'm sorry if I caused you to worry. Last night, I went to my mom's room. I didn't pay attention to the time, so I fell asleep." Lyca's thinking, which she did with a smile. Albert told the queen that he wouldn't tell her that she was leaving the castle. So she was brave enough to lie. Matthew, who was listening, was embarrassed, so he said something. "My love, Princess Lyca said she would help us. If her talk with my dad goes well, we can start making plans for our wedding." Queen Annabelle smiled and frowned at the same time. "Ha ha ha! Really? Interesting..." Lyca kept eating with a smile on her face. ".
Queen Annabelle does not care about Wesley. She did need him, so she won't let him die for anything, especially now... The rest of the pack is close to Lyca, and Annabelle knows they won't give up until they get her. "I'm strong, and even death can't stop me!" In the forest near the castle, however... "She was there!" The soldiers who were looking through the forest quickly went to where the scream was coming from. Albert, who was in charge, sent everyone away right away. Everyone turned around and looked shocked. "Damn it! What in God's name happened to the princess? How is she? "Someone in the army asked. When the soldiers see Lyca covered in blood and with her dress torn, they can't control their anger. "She's still breathing," they said. After he checked Lyca's pulse, Albert said. Then he looked at her body and saw that she wasn't hurt. "Princess Lyca is not hurt, so the blood on her might not be hers..." Albert carried her back to the castle after stating the fact but not be
In order to stay alive, Lyca stopped thinking and just let her body move. She kicked Wesley with both of her feet. He flipped over because of the force and hit a big piece of rock."Is that something I can do?" Lyca said this with surprise. Then she thought back to when she trained with Xavier. It never happened that she hurt him, so Lyca thought she wasn't getting anywhere.But when Lyca saw Wesley wince, her face lit up. "I can do it! He is much weaker than Xavier..." She stood up, said yes, and got ready to fight.Wesley stood and looked at Lyca in the same way. The range is too extensive, which makes him more dangerous and wild.Once more, the two of them engage in combat; however, Lyca is able to dodge every one of Wesley's claw strikes. But the force of the impact hurts her body a little. The same goes for Wesley, which is why their fight is about how long they can last. Whoever loses their ability to keep going first will lose.After sparring for a few minutes, Lyca was hit wit
Wesley stepped out of the shadows and stood in front of Albert. It's easy to see that he doesn't like something."Because there is a meeting going on in the kingdom, the Queen can't see you right now. But she told you to stay in your room and wait for her to come to you." Albert replied that he didn't care. Albert didn't like Wesley because he thought he was trying to get the Queen's attention."Damn it! Are you sure that's what the Queen said? Or you didn't tell her I wanted to see her?!" Wesley replied with irritation. Because he is holding back his anger, you can see the tendons in his neck. He didn't like how bad it made him feel to miss the Queen. He wanted to choke Albert to get rid of his anger."Go see her for yourself if you don't believe! But I should warn you that the Queen hated it when people didn't do what she said." Albert spoke up. Even though he knew Wesley could kill him quickly, he didn't show any fear at all.Wesley can't make deals. He only cared about getting the
