“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
“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
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
“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
