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

    “The Queen, she's given birth. In fact, it's already been a week."“Damn it.” Jermaine leaned his back in resignation. He massaged his temple, then asked. "Why didn't anyone notice it if it had happened a week ago?!"Jermaine lifts himself from his seat, striding towards the door, but then stops his step. Thinking about this ridiculous carelessness burned his heart. He gripped on the doorknob, turning it forcefully until it separated from the door. He threw it on the floor.“If for a week no one knows about it, does that mean she's given birth by herself?”“…I'm afraid yes, Your Majesty.”Jermaine snorts. Then, his face crumpled with a dangerous glint in his eyes. He said. “I will go there now.”"Yes, Your Majesty."For the first time, in two and a half months, he exiled Sashal to an abandoned palace and finally visited her. With steps that felt heavy, he walked along the path, which looked unkempt. He couldn't believe there was still a place like this within the royal grounds. But he

    … That's not true. I can't be reckless in giving birth to the child I've been waiting for, right?Menitto and Ruri brought in a professional to assist me. Everything runs smoothly thanks to the neglect of the servants here, and I hope that neglect will continue. Except…“Ma’am?”I clicked my tongue. These servants kept disturbing my time to pamper my baby boy. I opened my mouth curtly. "So what if he comes?"The maid flinches. She parted her lips. “That… uhm, you need to get ready.”I snort. “Bullcrap. Why should I get ready? Just go away. Don't show your face in front of me or in front of my baby again."I sharpened my warning at the last words as I looked at all their faces. They lifted their chins awkwardly when they received a stern look from me as they stopped what they were doing. They were the ones who ignored me until a while ago, and yet Jermaine still employed them at this place. That made them arrogant, assuming that Jermaine cared more about them than me and my baby.[“Tch

    Gift boxes began to pile up in the corner of her room, coming from the friendly hands of the nobles who hoped to be under her new grace. But she did not open any of the luxurious gift boxes. The boxes are moved into storage on a certain day, and only the letters inside are taken. She thought that everything would be festive if she gave birth to her child, but the reality approaching her was far from joyful. She did not even have the energy to smile when she looked at her newborn baby girl's face, which looked ugly in her eyes. The baby didn't even have her features or Jermaine's, from the face alone. One thing that perhaps lifted her heart a little was that her baby girl was born with typical royalty hair features, and she kept wishing that as time passed, her daughter's face could also take on the beauty of Jermaine's. However, as time passed and the baby's face began to form like a baby's face in general, she still couldn't find Jermaine's face on her baby's. 'They say even Sasha

    “Would you think postponing it for a few days would be wise?”Ruri blinked slowly as she tilted her head. “Won't that ruin your plans?”"It's just... my instincts tell me that even if I'm not the one pushing it, many other people will do it in my stead without them realizing it, so..."“Okay, let's postpone that part. Then what about things related to Bella?"“For that, let's process it as quickly as possible. We have to get Bella out of that place faster. Have you got what I asked for the other day?"“Yes. Following your instructions, I found them gathered in the private study room of the city library. And when Menitto threatened them by mentioning the name of the person you gave, their leader agreed to make a transaction with us."I breathed a sigh of relief. “We need to test it first. Then if no other symptoms follow, let's give it to Bella.”“I understand, sister. And speaking of Bella, she seems to have stumbled upon something troublesome.” Ruri handed me a folded, crumpled paper

    Blinking her eyes innocently, Luelle replied. "I heard she's fine and is resting now."Jermaine sat on the sofa across from Luelle. She raised her eyebrows slightly as she watched Jermaine's movements. 'Why isn't he sitting next to me like usual?'“You heard, huh? You… didn’t check on our daughter yourself?”"I did when the doctors checked her right after they arrived at the scene."Jermaine rubbed his face roughly, then buried his face in his hands. Luelle kept noticing Jermaine's strange behaviour, which made her pick up on an uncomfortable vibe from him.After letting the clock on the wall speak itself with the ticking that filled the room, Jermaine opened his mouth. It started with a heavy sigh.“Do you know what I've been through today? Moreover, what have I heard regarding the results of the investigation into this incident?"“Are you finally going to decide the punishment for that woman? She dares to harm our daughter, so of course she will get the same painful punishment, righ

    The head of the guard looked at me silently for a while. Then he answered. “There are no such people.”“Ah, is that so?”Was it the disappointment I felt when I realized that no one would visit me in this place for the last time?I thought with their twisted personalities, at least Jermaine or Luelle would come here to rub salt in my wound, but even that didn't happen. It didn't seem like they would suddenly be the ones to wake up to their feelings of guilt, so their absence now was quite surprising to me.“We will finally leave this place, baby,” I whisper to my baby boy, who snuggles in my armpit.Finally, evening arrived. The guards opened the prison cell and then escorted me out to walk all the way to the back gate. I looked around in all directions as I knew it would be the last time I would take in the beauty of this place with my eyes. After all, this place was once the most comfortable place I could live because I was not comfortable in my own family's house.I spent my late t

  • The Forsaken Luna's Burning Love   151. There's No Need To Be Bitter

    Four days after the exile of the former queen to the monastery, the people of the kingdom were shocked by the official news coming from the Royal Family about her sudden death. The news came like a bolt of lightning on a hot summer day. Not even the big media company, which is usually very up-to-date regarding news about the former queen, sniffed the tip of this news. The changing tides that occurred in just four days since the news of her exile that night sent all media companies into a frenzied state.As the official notification comes from the royal family, there is not much variety of information that can be written in the newspaper. Even though they tried to sniff out the rest of the investigation, trying to get insight from other views, they came to a dead end. That's because the events that occurred were explained so clearly and openly by the Royal Family."I can't believe that until the end, that woman wanted to deceive our kingdom by joining hands with those barbarians."“Tal

    In her past lives, Sashal thought exile to a remote place was a better punishment than the death penalty. At least that way, she can still give birth to her child even in a place where there are many shortages. That's why she accepted the exile punishment without making many protests or tantrums. She followed the punishment decided for her.However, on her way to the monastery, a group of wolves attacked the group accompanying her. She and her party died at that place before arriving at their final destination. When she restarts her life, she thinks they are an army of rebels who want somehow to possess the former queen for their mission of revenge. That's why they attacked the group that escorted her. But after going through three similar incidents, each time she was sentenced to exile, she knows better.The wolf squad consisted of men sent by Jermaine who wanted to kill her. It was at that moment that she realized that no matter if she somehow avoided the death penalty 'route' in th

    “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
