Did my ears play tricks on me? Or is it because of age, so I'm having a little problem with my ears?

I glanced at Ruri. It seemed like my ears weren't the ones with the problem when I saw how Ruri and Bella's expressions were. Of course, my ears are fine. If someone had a problem, it would be this woman. From the start, her head was just filled with rusty screws that made it difficult for her to think.

Once again, I was ashamed of my past self for having raised this person as a lady-in-waiting.

I sucked in a breath through the gap in my mouth. Then opened my mouth slowly. “Are you sure about your request, Lady Lenbergh?”

"Your Majesty," Ruri called me softly but full of pressure through her fake smile.

I could see how Ruri was turning the wheels inside her brain. I saw anxiety in her eyes. From that same glance in my eyes, I also caught a message from her which seemed to be telling me;

    And sure enough, Jermaine immediately came to my palace upon hearing that Luelle had called him. I didn't know that an Alpha King could be so easily summoned here and there by someone like Luelle. But that's the ridiculous reality our kingdom is suffering now.I'm sure he's currently having an internal meeting with royal council officials regarding tomorrow's schedule, yet he came here for her in just a matter of minutes. Talk about devotions.And when he arrived at my quarter, he told Ruri and Bella to leave while leaving Luelle's maid in her position on the grounds that Luelle needed her. I'm no longer surprised by the ridiculousness of what he does. Even after chasing my people away, his attention was completely focused on finding out whether Luelle had eaten anything or not. Has Luelle had enough rest, and is there anything else she needs?In that part, Luelle expressed her wishes to Jermaine.“Why don't you come to my place? There is more than enough room for you there.” Jermaine

    I didn't need to hide my identity in completely covered clothes to go to the Arena this time. People will already know that I've finished my recovery and that news about me will spread. Perhaps, starting with yesterday's scene when I danced with Alpha Rohan.'I thought the news would come out today, but it's quieter than I expected.'Even though I didn't need to come to hide my identity, I still had to minimize the news by making this visit a little secret. I planned to enter the Arena at the last minute when Menitto appeared as the main event for tonight's fight.When people focus their attention on the ring, that's when I'll go inside.Even though I planned to make my visit discreet, that doesn't mean there won't be any eyes recognizing me. Even more so if it was from the media, who would quickly point their cameras at me. That's why I must maintain elegance because this is my first official public appearance.As usual, I booked a VVIP booth. And while Bella was arranging my visit t

    Is today some kind of day created specifically to annoy me? If it's yes, then it works. So well. 'Well, it's not like this is the first time, still!'Initially, I intended to laze around in bed, reading novels, snacking on food, and chatting with my baby. But then Luelle came with all her complaints and impudence, and I decided to give up my space to be occupied by her eventually.When I intended to make a short run away from the commotion created by Luelle and Jermaine to my favorite place to be immersed in the excitement after a long time, another burden came to my mind.“Which clown took him to a place like this?” I mutter under my breath with my clenched jaws.“Your Majesty, shouldn't today's schedule be for Alpha Rohan and his subordinates to go to the machine factory to see the performance of the magic stones?”It seemed like Ruri read my mind. “Indeed. That's what should've happened.” I massaged my temples.I made the schedule to suit the needs of tomorrow's conference. Apart

    Alpha Duke Gustav. I know he's still young and has just claimed his post as second Alpha Duke of Southern Olf, so he doesn't have much experience in the political field yet. Even so, I didn't expect him to do something like this. He looked at me with his round eyes, then blinked innocently, fluttering his lashes like a fan. “Uh, sister-in-law, let me explain what's going on here.” “I'm sure I'm not your sister-in-law, especially in a situation like this, Your Excellency Alpha Duke Gustaav.” I said through my unchanging smile. “Uhm, your smile scaring me somehow, sister. Can you not smile?” I still made a big smile as I replied to him. “You want me to lower my smile, now? In a situation like this?” I could see his Adam's apple rising and falling frantically. “…No, it seems smiling would be better, Your Majesty.” I scrunch my nose as I give him another eye smile. But he flinched instead. “Let me explain it first, alright?” He slowly took my hand, then patted it gently while maint

    'What the? She’s here?’ He realized it not long after the host introduced him to the audience as he smelled Sashal’s scent just right, even when there were thousands of people in the place. 'Why is she here? I heard that she's having a rest in her quarter…' He managed to find her without difficulty. Sashal was not far from the ring as she sat in the VVIP booth, which was the closest to the ring, but positioned slightly above. ‘Does she recognize me?’ As he asked that to himself, he cringed in excitement as he realized that Sashal recognized who he was despite his appearance at that time. 'Her upset face is adorable. I'm the biggest sinner if I want to keep seeing her upset like that, right?' In order to get a fight slot with Menitto, he has to beat other fighters in different tiers. Then Faresh and Gustaav did the rest so he could fight Menitto today. Because if he followed the rules in the Arena, he would have to wait to be able to fight Menitto today despite having already beat

    Sashal's expression when she was in Rohan's arms showed that there were many things she wanted to speak to him about. But the first thing that came out of her mouth was…“Ruri, please,”Ruri, who heard her name being called, flinched slightly, but she knew what to do. She turned around sharply, grabbed Gustaav's hand, and then said. “Please follow me, Your Excellency.”"What?" Gustaav's eyes locked into Ruri's with confusion. “…Why?” He asked back softly, approaching a whisper.Without hearing the answer he deserved, Ruri took his hand and pulled him away from that place with rash steps, without looking back.Seeing that Ruri and Gustaav had left, Sashal opened her mouth. "Now, let me go, Alpha Rohan."The sharp look that Sashal gave him seemed to awaken something inside him. Rohan felt what people often say to have chills down one's spine. He thought he didn't have what others called a spine, but he did.He only realized that when Sashal looked at him like that.He didn't expect to e

    “Why… are you here?”For f#ck sake! He was standing outside my window, in the same place as when Gruu visited me yesterday. That part annoyed me because he seemed to take Gruu's spot, and the other part that made me want to shout and swear at him was because he stood there as if nothing was going to happen.Like, hello? Luelle's room is just across mine! What if she or her maid r other people witnessed Alpha Rohan standing outside my window at a time like now? That will give rise to more rumours!I hate him, really. All of his actions seemed to drag me slowly to the gates of my death, even though I had been working hard to make changes! I gritted my teeth at the sight of him.Even his beautiful face won't save him from my anger this time.“I'm... sorry, really.” He said that.‘Huh?’ I didn't expect this to happen.I mean, I did witness for myself how yesterday he apologized to me and to Ruri and Bella, so it seems like he's the type who doesn't have a problem admitting his mistakes.

    Those... were the words I wanted to spit out of my mouth when I saw Luelle's face appear on the door to my room. But I can't do that, right? There are still many eyes and ears that I want to bring to my side with the 'kindness' I did to Luelle. And it seems like I still haven't quite accumulated a good reputation and 'topped her out', judging by how the last banquet went.‘Is Luelle more charming so people sympathize with her more? If it continues like this, it's more like Luelle is the main character in a play.'It's annoying if she is the main character even in the story of my life.“I didn't know you were a morning person. So, what brings you here?”Luelle slowly stepped into my room. I could see that the maids were a little awkward with Luelle's presence, especially when they had to display the dresses I wanted to wear today in her presence.Behind Luelle, I saw her again… her maid. If they walked around the capital's plaza area with the attitude they were showing right now, it wo

    “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.

    “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
