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,
Everything felt rushed, as if there was no waiting for tomorrow's sun.“Mother!” I was half running, getting out of the carriage to go to Madam Maya's side, when I saw her coming out of the Roshad mansion gate with Doctor Barra. “Will you be okay with moving around now?”Madam Maya glanced at me wearily, then smiled briefly without giving any reply. I could see her moving her bottom lip, though. I guess she didn't even have the energy to open her mouth because of the pain she felt and this out-of-the-blue moving rush."Lady Sashal..." Doctor Barra greeted me languidly, unlike his usual spirit. His black eye bags were thick, while his eyes were red. It seemed like he was still being attacked by extreme drowsiness.He and one of Madam Maya's maids helped her to walk.“Let me do it,” I told the maid to move. She was reluctant to remove her helping hand from Madam Maya's body as she looked up at me with wavering eyes. I told her softly. “It's alright. I'll take care of her. You also need
“Why did you enter that way when there was a door?” I raised my voice sternly at him…“…I used the door, though?”… Until I didn't realize I had been misspoken. I cleared my throat, "I mean, you can enter by stopping the carriage first."Rohan smiles apologetically. “Right, I should have done that. I got carried away by my bad habits. I'm sorry, princess."Seeing that Rohan seemed to really reflect on his little mistake, I decided to stop my nagging. Considering that we would have little time for each other due to this situation, stopping my nagging was a wise choice. Besides, I could postpone my tirade against him.I raised my hand, caressing his cold cheeks. He enjoyed the touch of my hand on his face as he lowered his lips to kiss my wrist. I cupped both of his cheeks, staring worriedly at his eyes.“Why are you here already? I thought you would only catch up with us when we arrived at the Moon Turin Pack.” I asked. In my words, there's a hint of hope that he will come with us toni
At this time, all the high-ranking wolves started to come out of their hiding place, the Royal Palace. Be it Alpha Dukes, Beta Dukes, or even Gamma Counts, they all began to move to help the Royal Guards and Ansel to put down the mysterious being who terrorized the nation.Realizing that the capital would not be a safe place if The Black Fog-- their name for the black creature that threatened the country's security, managed to break through the security near the capital, they volunteered to fight. They no longer think that diplomacy will have any effect on an enemy that doesn't even have a form. Fighting like a barbarian is the only way to overcome this problem.The combination of those high-ranking wolves will probably only be formed if there is a large-scale war. So this shows how threatening the current situation of the kingdom is.The only people left in the palace meeting room were members of the council board and national assembly, with low wolf rankings. And yet, Jermaine is am
