Liam walked through the garden after returning the pregnant woman's medical notebook he borrowed from the best midwife in town. He had been going back and forth in the city, troubling several midwife clinics since morning. He jumped quickly and landed on the roofs of buildings, as usual, armed with such a good mood since last night. After that, he also decided to stop by to buy a bunch of flowers for his wife. He picked out a red tulip and carried it back into the castle through the side fence. He planned to walk straight to the garden where his wife and his two in-laws had lunch. While walking leisurely, he felt that even if his wife was not pregnant, he would not be disappointed. Even though Harriet wouldn't be able to get pregnant, and even if she wasn't his mate, Liam wouldn't blame anyone or feel sad. For him, Harriet was more than enough. Although of course, initially, he was willing to accept Harriet because he knew he had an obligation to carry on the clan's lineage. B
Ezekiel felt sorry for Harriet for the first time in his life. He knew how hard it was to love someone he shouldn't love. But seeing that woman wearing Almandine gems made him feel uncomfortable. Having an affair while wearing her husband's clan symbol was what made this all ironic. Ironic and… somehow, thrilling. He didn't expect to find another naughty and taboo side of the woman he hated to make him so tempted. "You may go." Ezekiel let the woman go. However, his eyes didn't leave her back for a second until she was out of sight. Ezekiel started letting thoughts of Harriet fill his head and stopped rejecting them since he saw her having an affair. He didn't know why– For him, having an affair was one proof that humans were not perfect. It was wrong and very disappointing, but at the same time, it was also a phenomenon that equated humans with ninety per cent of the other animals on earth. Ezekiel believed in true love, so for him, an affair based on love was inevitable. Just
"I heard that the discussions between Crown Prince Hyacinth and the Old Duke were fierce. They insist on bringing our prisoners back to their kingdom without consequences," said a Lycan, who guarded the dungeon. He was used to discussing with his friend, another Lycan who was on guard with him. "Right, I heard it too. But Young Lord Goldlane and Old Duke also continued to insist on just killing this prisoner no matter what. Heheheh, if the Old Duke has decided something, it will eventually happen," said his friend. The prisoner they were talking about, whose face was covered with a black cloth sack and mouth bound with cloth, listened with sweaty bodies. His only remaining hand was chained to the wall, as were his legs. Julian Hyacinth was tired and depressed. "Ah, that's right. Yesterday Old Duke and Young Lord Goldlane made another offer. They will let this man live," said the Lycan, giving Julian who was listening, a new hope. "Well, but he has to stay here and be imprisoned
Ezekiel was about to change into more relaxed clothes when suddenly he heard a wolf howl. AWOOOOOOOO! The hairs on his neck stood as soon as he looked at the garden from his window. Dozens of wolves were running towards the outside of the castle from all directions. What was going on all of a sudden? Those monstrous abominations preparing for war or what? Ezekiel took out his longsword. He ran to the front door of the castle and saw Heath and the Old Duke standing at the door. In front of the two people, there was a red wolf that was slightly larger in size than the other wolves. "What happened?" asked Ezekiel in surprise. He looked everywhere and couldn't find Harriet. He was surprised because usually, she would be on the front line when something bad happened. "Prince Julian Hyacinth escaped from custody, Your Highness," Heath said dryly. "What?!" Ezekiel was surprised, and then looked around. There had already gathered hundreds of Lycans in their wolf forms, and all of them
Julian was suspicious of how hundreds of the Lycans had chased him here, and slowly he knew he would never survive. He clicked his tongue in annoyance. He squinted his eyes, thinking of another strategy. It was then that he saw his older brother Heinrich and the Imperial Crown Prince, Ezekiel, appear on their horses. Instantly, he had another idea. If he couldn't survive this place, he would at least carve his name in history. At the same time, Heinrich never expected things to end like this. He did plan the war. It was he who persuaded Julian to kill the Alpha of the Amaryllis clan and take his daughter, Miriam, hostage. He was also the one who devised an almost foolproof plan to secretly send the Lycans to the Euclase Continent to make a surprise attack. He had made the plan as detailed as possible. using the dark forest that separated the coast of the West Continent from the Western Fortress of the Euclase Empire as a hiding place and assembling the Lycan warriors they manipul
Julian felt even dizzier after receiving the sound wave attack earlier. His vision became blurry, but he still wanted to kill one of these two Alphas, if he couldn't take Crown Prince Ezekiel with him to the afterlife. So he started chanting [Inferna] once again. A huge fire tornado formed from a giant magic circle, then slowly compressed into a fireball the size of a human head in Julian's left hand. With this, the mana in his body had been completely depleted, with no residue left. Ordinary Lycans quickly lowered their heads and pushed the bodies of the humans onto their backs. They prepared to dodge the attack again just in case it headed their way. At the same time, Old Duke and Heath also prepared to dodge. “HAAAAAAAAAA!” WHOOSH! A ball of hot fire shot towards Heath and Old Duke. The two quickly maneuvred to dodge. But suddenly, the Old Duke noticed something strange about Julian. The young prince was seen grinning sinisterly. The giant fireball turned around, following th
Failed.No matter how many times he tried, his beautiful teacher Cynthia Delaroche couldn't wake up and smile back at him.Siren's tears, Dragon Blood, and even now with the Philosopher's Stone, nothing could raise her from the dead.He had searched all over the world and had even almost waged war for his master. The beautiful woman, who was lying weakly in a wooden coffin, had dark purple hair. Her face was covered by a transparent white cloth, and her eyes were tightly closed as if she was just fast asleep."Cindy..."Henry called out his teacher's nickname. The man raised the woman's cold and pale soft hand while kneeling by the side of her coffin."I'm sorry..." he whispered.As Henry, who was kneeling with his back to the hall door, began to feel a pang in his chest consuming every cell in his body, he heard the door behind him violently open.CRASH!The double doors broke off their hinges and swung weakly on either side, while the figure that was breaking them, a white wolf that
The Old Duke and Heath were sitting, facing Crown Prince Heinrich, who somehow looked far different today.The man sat with an overall atmosphere that was no longer the same as before. He didn't look pressed, nor did he see them as cold as usual. Precisely after what happened yesterday, what changed the man into like this?Unlike usual, Ezekiel was now sitting by their side. He was there because he was involved with yesterday's events. He was the Crown Prince of the Empire, and that was why he spoke on behalf of the empire and its people who were in danger last night."How are you two today, Your Highness Euclase, Your Highness Hyacinth?" Heath said, opening the conversation."Could be worse," Heinrich replied with a flat expression."I'm fine," replied Ezekiel."We are grateful that there were no casualties in last night's horrific in
