Rohan patted Faresh’s shoulder. He knew it would elicit an even bigger response if his aide found out that his mate was the wolf queen of the Southern Olf. “What kind of person is she? Ah, no, what I want to know is, what kind of family she came from? Is she a commoner? It will be easier for you if she is a commoner, though." Faresh mumbles his last words but ends with a lightning-fast apology to Rohan. “Ah! I’m not saying you’re better suited to a commoner, but it’s easier for you to— whoa, I spout nonsense, right?” “You did.” “I apologize.” “Well, I know what you’re worried about.” Rohan looked at the great wall dividing the two kingdoms. The blessing from the Moon Goddess for him was indeed so sweet. And the sweet ones are usually hard to reach. ‘It’s not completely unreachable, though.’ Rohan beams with confidence while Faresh is still deep in his regret. Faresh sighed. “So she comes from a noble family of Southern Olf.” “She is.” Later, when Rohan announced to his people

Why is he looking for me now? I nodded at the secretary, and he led the way. The atmosphere changed as we went west, even though the same walls and ornaments surrounded it. Looking at this direction, I seem to have been summoned to Jermaine's office. I passed several administrative division office rooms to enter another building that was styled in entirely different ways. Even the main door is decorated with classic carvings that are timeless. ‘How long has it been since I came to this place?’ This is Jermaine's office building, separate from the Central Palace, which he built during his tenure to exclude himself. This place is like a museum with priceless works of art. Reflecting the essence of the aesthetically beautiful kingdom of Southern Olf. These great artists loved their homeland so much that they wouldn't hesitate to dedicate their work to their beloved Alpha King. A pinnacle of art that can only be enjoyed by workers at the Royal Palace and, very rarely, by some honorary

It was a declaration of war after decades of living without regard for one another. They come bravely and feel superior to our military capabilities through all the fighting at neutral territory.“Those barbarians!” Jermaine sprung up from his seat, snatching the letter from Gamma Blaine's hand.“Just… why suddenly?” I murmured.In previous lives, this development did not occur. The conflict between the two countries only occurred on the border of neutral territory. Not to penetrate the action of infiltration that they threaten. What made the change?"Who's the bastard that gets caught?"Gamma Blaine shook his head. Jermaine crumpled the letter, then threw it into the fireplace.‘Can you do that with other countries' official papers?’At the beginning of the letter, the Northern side clearly stated that a Southern Olf party violated the agreement. If I traced it a bit deeper, maybe they were greedy people who kept mining for magic stones in that frozen lava lake, even though there had

We were in the central palace area, and this was no place for someone like Luelle to come. She wasn't my lady-in-waiting, so there was no reason for her to come here, not even to Jermaine's office.Our eyes met.“Sashal, I'm grateful that you look fine. I looked for you in the office but heard you were here."'She's looking for me? What for?'But wait a minute, whose mouth was loose enough to tell her where I am and bring her here? It must not be Bella.Frau walked into the room after Luelle. He bowed to me and Jermaine. After that, he faced Jermaine without batting an eye at me. He just walked past me as if I wasn't there.'So it's him, huh?'“I apologize, Your Majesty. I thought you were enjoying your time off, so it would be a good idea to bring Lady Lenbergh here."Since when was it a good idea to bring a mistress to the workplace, Frau? And he said it nonchalantly in front of the legal wife as if when I was the one who came here, Jermaine would only be burdened more. Whereas if i

Too bad I couldn't further tease them when the Alpha Dukes and Beta Dukes started arriving. There were two Alpha Dukes, and both had close blood relations with the royal family members as they came from the same family tree. There is Alpha Gustaav, who is Jermaine's cousin, and also Alpha Kaesang, who is Jermaine's uncle.It was my first time meeting them after returning to the palace. They looked happy to see me when they gave me a greeting. I almost got carried away by their friendliness when I didn't know whether they would hurt me in the back or not. At the very least, these two Alphas never gave their vote when I was being judged in past lives. They are bystanders who were absent on the day of my execution.So I'm still undecided about where they stand.The others who recently arrived were four Beta Dukes and Beta Marqius, each of whom was second in command to the Alphas. There should have been another Beta Duke, Ansel, but he couldn't make it this time."I have heard of it." Alp

Their tents were surrounded by dense trees that separated the visibility from the enemy’s location. It’s like being buried in a dense forest with no way out until this feud happens.Only in that area did the dividing wall between the two kingdoms not reach there. The wall ended when it touched the outer layers of the hill surrounding the active lava lake, which until a year ago, was still burning hot. The hill merges with the towering volcano, the top of which is always covered with clouds. The view of the mountain could be seen from any angle, whether from the Southern Olf or the Northern.No one could approach the area due to the high level of danger, leading to death simply by inhaling the surrounding air. It is still a mystery how trees with linking roots grow densely around this poisonous area.But that’s why the area is called neutral territory. A territory that no one owns and avoids.Because even though there were no dividing walls, the inhabitants of each kingdom didn’t dare

I stare at her almost blankly.The official around us glanced at each other. They must be either excited to steal a scene or two that could become the subject of their gossip or feel like they're sitting on needles as they watch us face off.Those officials are the same officials who noted down my loss against Luelle in the first round as their amusement. Bella reported everything to me as she acted as my spy. I am even more amazed to know that the people who work under me do this at my expense.I shifted my gaze from her to a place far behind Luelle and her maid; the door. I wonder which person opened my office door for her? But I didn't see anyone there. Then there was a high chance that Luelle herself had lightly opened the door.'She didn't even close the door again, tch.' A complaint escaped from my mouth as I returned my attention to Luelle.As she got no response from me, Luelle started to look frantic. Her eyes would move to and fro, and she fiddled with her finger.“Ah, I see

“I feel like I have to,” I said quietly. Very softly, like a whisper that only I can hear myself.“Yes?”“Nothing. I just… thought it would make it all easier.”Because if I didn’t, Luelle would end my life in the most miserable way possible. Not with her own hands but with the hands of others. And many hands reached out to Luelle but not to me. With my baby, whom I never got to bring into this world, I will be executed or killed on the run, That’s how scary Luelle is for me, Ruri. That’s the honesty that I keep to myself.You may not understand me, but I lost you twice because of her before my very eyes. I can not go through it again for the third time. It was enough to give me nightmares in my repeat lives.“You’re too nice, sister. I hope you don’t pamper her too much.”I answered her with a smile. It looks like this time, I have to listen carefully to Ruri’s words. That’s why I need to make a boundary with her after I have collected enough points from the people around me.There

“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
