“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
“Your Majesty? Lady Luelle?” he called softly as he took a step forward carefully. He called her again. “Luelle, it's me.”As if hearing a bell in the back of her head, Luelle turned her head slowly. As she raised her eyes and found Doctor Rey beside her, she put the flower vase in her hand back in its place.“Doctor Rey… Rey. I was… afraid.” She stuttered, and not long after, she was brimming with tears.Doctor Ray immediately hugged Luelle and then carried her. “Why aren't you wearing slippers?! What if your feet get pierced by the glass shards?!”He moved Luelle away from the broken glass while grumbling in resentment. “…Those useless maids. How could they let you be in this situation?”Luelle looked at Rey's brown eyes, which seemed to shine more than usual as the sunlight reflected on them. The young man carrying her at the moment always looked like a hero as he always came when she almost destroyed herself.“The people, they hate me. I... I wanted to help them lighten their burd
No matter how much his aides studied the letter with the result that it was indeed Luelle's handwriting, Jermaine still refused to believe it. He suspects that Luelle did it because of threats from other people who hated her. He even believed Luelle was kidnapped by the same group who kidnapped me. "Pft,"In the midst of that scandal, a secret passage was found in Luelle's room in the concubine palace. What was inside was quite shocking to everyone who witnessed it.It turned out that the maids who had 'disappeared' for the last few months were in there in miserable conditions. Only one maid survived even though her hand was burned. Meanwhile, there were five maid corpses with missing limbs. It was a terrifying sight, considering that the maids had served Luelle up close.The royal palace tried to cover up this case, but too many witnesses abandoned their loyalty to the royal family. The servants mostly revealed it to the public, so big protests took place outside the gate. The victi
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
