“Is that... really you?” Ruri asked through her gritted teeth, showing her rage towards Bella, who continued to lower her head as she stepped away.Sashal muttered. “Bels, tell me that’s not true.”Jermaine enjoyed the scene happening in front of him. His eyes shifted quickly from one side to another, following the person saying something. He smirked at the pathetic sight, where Sashal’s face seemed to darken.“She asked you, Bella. Why won’t you answer her?!” Ruri shouted and then ran charging at Bella.“Ruri, no!”But Ruri’s movements were stopped by Jermaine, who came, shielding Bella with his hands gripping Ruri’s neck. Ruri’s body was lifted for a few seconds before he flung it so hard and far that she hit Sashal’s work desk.“No, Ruri!” Sashal immediately approached Ruri, who was slumped weakly on the floor. Her neck looked red.Sashal glares at Jermaine. “Don’t you dare to hurt her.”“Well, I had no choice but to do it to protect my eyewitnesses. Isn’t that right, Queen?”Sasha

A strong gust of wind carrying the salty aroma of the ocean slapped him all over his face. Rohan grinned wryly as he felt unwelcome by the ocean and its waves, but still, he insisted on standing on the rocks, getting hit by small waves that crept up on his feet. Challenging what the ocean would bring to him.“Tch, what are you doing there?” Alpha Jabre jumped over rock after rock, approaching Rohan.“You're here?”“This is my territory, kiddo. I should be the one to say that.”“Haha… right.”Alpha Jabre drew his eyebrows upwards as he glanced at Rohan. He scoffs. "So, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling melancholy because you get scolded by those guys? But you realize that you deserve it all, right? The presence of those ships is because of your failure in Southern Olf.”Rohan tasted his mouth, which tasted bitter, then replied lazily.“That's why I'm here. I put myself at the front of the line in case they charge at us.” Rohan took a deep breath as he looked into the distance.Not

There was only one reason why there was a knock on the door when it should have been just me in this locked building. I dragged my feet towards the door lazily. Actually, I didn't need to pay attention to the knock on the door, but for one reason or two, I needed to at least make my presence known.Clack, creaaaak. As I pulled the doorknob of the room, I winced.In front of the bedroom door was a dining cart with food on it, which was covered with a serving lid. I looked right and left. Of course, even today, I found that there was no one around. Whoever delivered this food cart has sprinted out of the famously haunted building.This situation has been going on for two months.I opened the serving lid, then pressed my lips hard, trying not to laugh.“Whoa~ hahaha, now only one type of food is given to me, huh? And that, too, was crusty brown bread. Let's see what's under the other serving lids." I opened the other two serving lids.I snort at the creativity possessed by whoever is tas

“Aha~ I'll let you know when we move to your actual room, Your Majesty.”I grinned. Ruri always knows how to pull and push. Even though I like to prank her by inviting her to stay longer in this room, she always gets away with her witiness. Ruri's cheerfulness is a big help for me in an isolated place like this.“I don't understand why you like asking me to stay in this room so long. Even though it's for tricking those people, you shouldn't stay in this dusty place for long, geez." Ruri stretched her hand to me, and her eyes widened in shock.“No way! Are you touching that rotten bread, Your Majesty?”“Yup. I wonder how hard the bread will be today. But it wasn't as hard as the other days."“Cause it's moldy this time, eugh. Let's get your hands wiped clean.”"I can do it myself, thank you."Hand in hand, Ruri and I walked into the mansion's deepest part. Passed through a dark hallway because the windows were covered with wooden boards, then turned to the corridor's corner. It was the

“How is she now? I hope she's not too stressed with her current job." I poked the melon Ruri served me, then devoured it in one big mouthful.My gaze is fixed on the melon for a reason I know best. It was because talking about Bella still felt difficult for me, even after two months had passed. Because I feel… guilty.“Sometimes, you are quite cruel to those closest to you in strange ways. Of course Bella is experiencing a lot of stress because she has to serve that b#tch." Ruri also poked at the melon pieces with a little roughness.Her chewing sounded like the clock ticking as she waited for me to say something else she wanted to hear. But I didn't entertain her with that.“Your Majesty, she misses you so much. She wishes to accompany me here to be with you again."“No, she can't. It was dangerous for her because she didn't have an older brother like Ansel. You know what I'm worried about, but you keep pestering me with such conversations about Bella."“Hah, I guess I've gone too fa

Menitto's job since he left the Arena was to help me track my mother's whereabouts. Since he managed to find her several months ago, I asked him to monitor her consistently. Not without reason, cause I want to make sure that my mother doesn't approach the capital again, especially the royal palace. I'm worried that her presence will put a lot of variables that don't support my plans.I need to persist a little more in following this pattern if I want to get out of this place, using that way.“She's still at the manor. Even after she heard about your situation, she did not leave the manor or receive guests from outside, especially from the capital.”“Phew, that's great. I hope you can keep an eye on her and take appropriate action if she goes near the capital.”“I understand. Leave all that to me, Milady.”Ruri chimed in. “I often think that it's not like you just do careful calculations, but more like you know the future, Your Majesty. That's always fascinating. Don't you think so too

"Oh, Bella~ good work for today too. You can rest now like the other maids.” Luelle patted Bella's shoulder, smiling at her.“…Thank you, Your Grace.”Luelle's tap on Bella's shoulder halted briefly, and the corners of her smile twitched. "You know, maybe you should also start following the other maids who have been practicing calling me with... Your Majesty."“… I apologize.”“Right! You don't need to alopogize, though. You just need to do it right next time.”Bella lowered her head even more as she spoke. “Yes, I will keep it in mind, Your Majesty.”“Nice! Good job! You know, if it weren't for Luelle, Jermaine would have fired you. Even though you received material compensation from the state thanks to your part in capturing a traitor, it was definitely no more honorable than serving this Luelle. Right?”“Yes, you're absolutely right, Your Majesty. I will always hold you in my heart for saving me from humiliation.”“Hmm, that's nice to hear. Then, I will try again to get Jermaine t

Luelle gritted her teeth so hard that the sound could be heard. But that doesn't make her parents any less concerned about her. Instead, it makes them put a knowing smile on their face. The most sickening smile for Luelle. They always acted as they pleased and gave her that smile as if they knew she couldn't refuse either of their requests.Luelle took a deep breath, trying to calm her hastily beating heart, then opened her mouth.“That's not possible. I can't do it."Upon hearing Luelle's curt answer, the Count and Countess twitched. The corners of their lips lifted into a smile, except it wasn't exactly a smile. Their distorted face was clearly painted on the faces of both of them.“What is not possible? Do you still not even have that much influence after all this time regarding this matter? What are you even doing all this time?”Luelle gulps down as she lifts her chin.Every time her parents ask her for something that is always materialistic in nature, they always use that method

“Ruri will come here?” Sashal sounded excited. “Yeah, she is. But I need to scold Menitto first for giving news about you to the other party.” “Come on, you know Menitto moved because of my orders. He did it because I wanted Ruri to also hear this good news on time.” Sashal pout. It melted Rohan's heart so much that he couldn't help but smile. “Alright, alright, you can have fun with your friends. But, are you sure you're okay?" “Yeah. Thanks to the herbal medicine I made, my body felt lighter after giving birth. And I recovered quite quickly." “You're still pale.” “But I'm fine, really. I know very well how unbearable the pain was after giving birth to Roschal, so I know that my current condition is the best.” Rohan frowned. "I still regret I couldn't keep you company during those hard times." “You don't have to. We just played our respective roles at that time.” Sashal kissed the back of Rohan's palm. “By the way, how long will Ruri visit?” “Ah, about that, I also want to di

The night felt agonizingly prolonged, with each passing minute stretching their apprehension. It was only when the first light of dawn graced the sky, followed by the long-awaited sound, that a sigh of relief finally escaped the lips of everyone outside the room. With the rising sun, Rohan passes through the big door with a bouquet and baby Roschal in his arms.He arranged the flowers in a large vase quite skillfully, like someone who was used to doing it. It was unimaginable coming from an Alpha. After that, he sat on a chair next to the bed."How are you feeling, my princess?" Rohan stretched out his hand to caress Sashal's head.“It never gets better than this, dear,” Sashal answered with a chuckle despite her pale face.Watching Sashal's expression, Rohan couldn't stop himself from kissing her pale face. Not only he but baby Roschal also doesn't want to lose to his father. He hugged and kissed the face of his mother, whom he had not seen for four days. He did it well enough that S

Not only do we have to fight the legendary creature for which we don't have the right answers, but we also have to fight against time. Everything seemed to be moving faster than usual, even though the Calamity had not yet been fully pushed to the point we agreed on. If it continues like this until the sun disappears behind the horizontal, then what we are trying to do will be meaningless.“We need more people on our side to make the Calamity come to that spot on its own accord, out of frustration.”Alpha Deen had the same thoughts as me. I nodded as I looked towards the Northern warriors. They glanced at each other. I could understand their hesitation about becoming the raw bait to lure the Calamity. Meanwhile, Rohan and the others on the other side didn't look like they were in good condition after fighting nonstop. It had been going on for over four hours, and time was not on our side.“I'll do it. But you know that with just one person, it won't attract his attention. So, you have

Out of surprise, the steps that stopped suddenly slowly found their rhythm again despite signs of hesitation by the warriors. However, it was not visible from Alpha Duke Gustaav and Kaesang as they made their steps so clear. Seeing the fearless temperament of the two men, Jermaine became even more agitated.“How dare all of you! How dare you challenge me here!” He created even more duplicates of his wolf, probably hoping the Alpha Dukes would stop in their tracks.When Alpha Duke Gustaav and Kaesang stopped in their tracks, he smirked. He glanced curtly at me, then bared his teeth.“You guys aren't going anywhere. I'll make sure you receive the same punishment as that traitor!”“Traitor? Who?" Alpha Duke Gustaav retorted in a sharp tone. “Ah, you're talking about yourself?”"What?"“Your Majesty, ah no, nephew, don't you dare get in our way to fix the mess you've made.” Alpha Duke Kaesang warned."What are you talking about?"“Stop your damn whining, Alpha King. If you can't control y

“Ugh,”As the ground began to swallow us, Rohan tried to lift my sinking body. He dug the ground around me with his claws while Ansel shouted.“It's me! Ansel! It's me!”He kept shouting those words out of his lungs several times as if that could stop what was happening.I couldn't grasp my mind as panic enveloped my whole body. I tried to only focus on getting the lower part of my body out of the ground while not burdening Rohan who managed to free himself from this terrible pull.“I'll get you out. Don't worry." Rohan kept calming me, who was starting to feel numb to everything around me, apart from the sound of my heartbeat, which filled my head.At that moment, like a miracle, the ground stopped rumbling all of a sudden. Like it never swallows us. 'Huh?'“Damn it! Finally!” Ansel cursed, but I could catch the tone of relief from his curse just now.Before long, I could understand why.Several people were standing on the surface of the land that had not collapsed, surrounding us. “

“Beta Duke Avimelech, what is this madness? I'm sure now that you helped that woman escape, stage it as she died tragically. And there is also that Alpha. Hah, so you're also a traitor.” Gamma Marquise Blaine glares at us each, spitting bars of slander.There's a hint of fear in his trembling eyes, yet he dares to bark at us. I'll have to give him a round of applause next time.“Whatever you say, sir. You can accuse me of being a traitor or whatever, only if you get out of here safely, though.”“Guards!” With his calling, all the guards gather shielding him and his companion. “Did you just threaten to kill us all, Beta Duke Avimelech?!”Rohan bursts out laughing. “Haha, haaa… It's not us, you moron. Have you forgotten where you are now? The Calamity can easily swallow all of you. What a jester. And you worked with these clowns for years, dear?”“Exactly, my words.” I shook my head.“Wait~ What is this~ Have you all… haaaa, also see the former queen? Huh? Am I not the only one who saw

A huge chaos and crisis was unfolding before my eyes. I still vividly remember how this small town alive even though the darkness of night shrouded it. But now all of that is engulfed in a big fire. We literally bathed in a sea of fire.The only reason why we were still fine despite the flames that enveloped us was thanks to Alpha Deen's divine energy. I'm not sure how his ability works, but it kind of protects us from being touched by fire.Even though I couldn't really feel the heat of the fire surrounding us, my chest felt tight, as if all the air had disappeared. My hands are shaking. And after a suffocating silence, I stretched my hand out to Rohan. He grabbed my hand.I can see this choice happening because of two possibilities. One, the desperate actions of the survivors to keep the Calamity away from them, or Jermaine ordering the burning of this entire city.This guess was reflexively projected in my mind because he often advised me to burn things he considered useless. He a

“I should have seen this coming and put another guard beside him on your side. But picturing two men following you around everywhere ticks me off so much.” A low growl sounded out under his rough breath.I could understand from his gaze why he felt upset at this situation. I would probably feel upset if I were in his position. He is accustomed to leading people who obey his orders and put aside their personal ideas for the community's welfare. But now he meets someone like me as his Luna.In this part, I admit my mistake towards Rohan. So I need to do that to appease his upset. I glanced at Alpha Deen and Sir Rojja, who were acting indifferent, although I'm not sure if they were really indifferent to our conversation. I still have to do it even though I have to bear the shame for the rest of my life.I took a breath from my mouth, then let out the spell. “I miss you soooo much that everything in front of me reminds me of you. When I eat, when I sleep, when I look at flowers, when I lo

After receiving solace after a long time from the letter written by Ruri, a painful realization came to me instead. Because what I consider a brief entertainment is a misery for almost everyone in Southern Olf. They lost two important figures at the highest level of command, who were supposed to help them reorganize the state order.Well, I don't know how they look at Luelle, whether they feel they can lean on her or even think of her as nothing. But it's different with Jermaine, their Alpha King.They have relied on the authority of the Alpha King for many years, from generation to generation. And so far, their life in Southern Olf is not so bad because of the sense of security provided by Alpha King's predecessors, then now by Jermaine and... me, to be honest.Knowing it's frail, it must be devastating as they can't hang on to Jermaine's rope. They must be afraid that the more they cling to the rope, the more they fall. Their best shot right now is to depend on high-ranking wolves f
