'Huh? Am I eventually someone who has to return to this point after all the hard work I put in?' My eyes wandered around.Everything in front of me was the same layout as how I usually start another part of my life after the time looping. It was the same scene as it's always like this. I would blink my eyes slowly as I leaned my back on the bed's backboard, looking at the iron door next to the window, which was shut in with an iron bar.If I wait a little longer, Ansel will break down the iron door to save me again.‘So, this is the tenth repetition…?’I caress my belly, which wasn't so protruding yet. A dry laugh came out of my mouth as I felt like my chest was being crushed into pieces. It was like a huge boulder was sitting on top of it, making me lose my breath.'Even though I just gave him a name. But now, even you won't be able to hear me calling you, my baby Roschal.'I raised my head, looking at the room's ceiling, which looked blurry as tears welled up in my eyes. “I've tried
“What… are you talking about?” Rohan asked with a knitted brow, concern laced in his voice. He turned around, looking at his mother. "Mother, what is she talking about?"An audible exhale escaped my lips upon seeing the expressions of Rohan and Madam Maya. Madam Maya's lips trembled under her son's questioning gaze.With a heavy heart, I answered Rohan's question instead. “Remember the case when I was kidnapped for four months? It looks like Madam Maya is involved in it. No, she's definitely involved or even the main perpetrator."Noting Rohan's shock daze, I grabbed his hand to hold. Seeing him in shock and pain crushed my heart. I'm not that kindhearted about putting this issue aside because I'm worried about Rohan's feelings. I have promised myself that the main priority in my life this time is myself, then my baby. So, I need to get to the bottom of it, even if it involves Rohan's beloved ones.'So that I can avoid the disaster of repeating my life.'“Mother, are you… involved?”M
Madam Maya made a quiet astonished face, with tears remaining in the corners of her eyes. She looks like a victim of unfair accusations. After gazing at Rohan and then towards me, she explained,“That's not what I'm saying, Lady Sashal. I'm sure I said it would be hard to do now, not forbidding you from carrying out the mating ceremony."She explained pretty passionately several times with similar sentences until Rohan stopped her. She even gasps for breath after expressing all her thoughts in words.A sigh of relief came out of my mouth, and then I looked at Madam Maya, feeling guilty. “It seems I was too sensitive when I heard it. I apologize for my misunderstanding, Madam Maya.”Rohan let out a sigh of relief as well. "So you let us have the mating ceremony, right, Mother?"“Yes, of course! But—”“Not now. That's what you wanted to tell us, mother?”“Yes.”Rohan and I exchanged glances. Then we shared a small laugh. It was too bad that Madam Maya couldn't join our laughter series a
Jermaine pulled up the corners of his lips in a scornful smile. "Aren't the company owners wrongly thinking their workers are just running away?""According to reports that have been submitted, the company owners have also been looking for the disappearance of their workers after another group of workers disappeared yet again. However, there were no signs of them running away. Moreover now rumors are starting to circulate about Count Lenbergh's involvement.”Jermaine knitted his brow. "What do you mean?"“Many witnesses stated that the disappeared miners were last seen near Count Lenbergh's mine. This is the fifth case of the disappearance of a group of workers at the Frozen Lava site this month, Your Majesty. People are starting to get anxious.” The aide said everything that needed to be said even though he feared Jermaine.He glances at Frau, asking for help before everything gets overwhelming and out of control.Frau subtly looked at Jermaine, then suggested. “Your Majesty, how abo
Luelle grimaced. Something boiled inside her heart when she heard Jermaine's words. She felt that Jermaine's treatment of her recently was really unfair. It's so annoying when Jermaine acts as if he's fed up with her when it should be her who feels that way.Through her gritting teeth, she retorts. “Then you shouldn't make me doubt the same thing over and over again.”“Just… what's wrong with you? I've told you many times if I didn't love you, I wouldn't do all these troublesome things for you! Just ask the ants crawling in this palace! Even they know I love you!”“Ha, but you feel troubled because of me? Is that what you call love?”“Can't I feel troubled when I have a lot of things I need to consider about too!? I'm the Alpha King, for fuck sake, in case you forgot!” Jermaine covered his face with shaking hands, suppressing the rage that was seething in his chest and spreading throughout his body.He sucked in a rough breath through his mouth, almost like gasping for breath. He kept
With the corners of his lips twitching, Jermaine scoffed. "Are you done?""Well, if you still want to hear my scorn, you can come to my guard post."“Ansel Avimelech!”Jermaine loses his composure as he charges at Ansel in his wolf form in the middle of a meeting. But despite all the rage that consumed him, he couldn't even touch a single strand of his hair because his action was immediately stopped by the two Alpha Dukes, who arrived just in time. At least Kaesang and Gustaav saved many lives in that room from being crushed by walls that collapsed due to Jermaine's outburst.Ansel and his troops seemed to have disappeared since a royal decree was issued, which stated that Ansel would be punished for insulting Jermaine. Meanwhile, the two Alpha Dukes visit the palace more often to act as Jermaine's safety pin in case he berserk again in a tense situation like now.“Don't try to get in my way again to kill that sewer rat. Or that means you guys are also challenging me.”Upon hearing th
“Please don’t ‘tch’ Sir Faresh, dear.” “Ah, my bad. I shouldn't have shown such an attitude in front of you or Roschal.” “That's not it, what I meant was don't 'tch' other people by—” When I saw Rohan's nonchalant expression, who was bluntly ignoring Sir Faresh, I couldn't help but sigh. “Anyway, don't make the Alphas wait any longer.” “But, dear, I still want to play with Roschal.” I narrowed my eyes sceptically. "Are you sure you're not just being lazy?" “I'm not, though.” That's some shameless thing to say from Rohan, who always looks for loopholes to avoid meeting the alphas. I know he wants to spend a lot of time with me and Roschal after spending time on the battlefield, but… “Still, there are obligations that you need to fulfill. I hope Roschal can learn that from you even when he is young.” “Mhm, that's right.” I deliberately didn't glance at the doorway, but I could feel Sir Faresh's pleading gaze prickling my face. He's been doing that since Rohan visited Roschal's p
“Milady, Sir Menitto is here.”“Let him come inside, Ange.”As someone from Southern Olf, I felt happy to meet Menitto after Rohan hogged him for so long. He still has his old awkward self whenever he has to be in a place that screams luxury. Even so, I saw some excitement in his uncomfortable looks as his eyes et mine. He greeted me respectfully, but this time he didn't kiss my hand like he always did when we were at Southern Olf.Hmm, I can already see the results of the hard training that Rohan emphasized to him."Milady, it's so nice that I can finally greet you again after only seeing you from a distance."“Oho~ is that a complaint I heard from you?”Menitto shakes his head fervently. "Not at all, milady."I chuckled. “Hmm, I thought you wanted me to say a word or two to Rohan regarding your training, which I heard was intense.”He shrugged his shoulders down. He looked like he had lost the light in his eyes for a moment while answering me. “…No. That's alright, Milady."Somehow,
“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
