**Elroy's POV** * The smile disappeared from my mother's face. "Don't be funny, Elroy. I heard she was as small as a cat. She's not even as tall as 100-year-old Shirley..." "I know, Mom, but my Wolf claimed she was my mate. I was just as shocked as you were when I heard the news." "But she's so small. How can she marry you? How can she have a baby with you?" "That's why I came to you," I said, helping my alarmed mother into a chair. "I wanted to ask you, do you know of any way to make her body as big as ours?" Instead of answering my question directly, my mother looked me in the eye and asked, "Elroy, tell me, do you really like her?" "Yes, I like her." I nodded firmly. "Do you see her as a playmate or a lover?" "I don't know. All I know is, from the first moment I saw her, I wanted to be with her forever. I don't want to be separated from her for a second." My mother was silent for a long time, judging by the struggle on her face that she was making a difficult decision.
**Elroy's POV** * "Beta, this is no time for jokes." My father said in a low voice. "I'm sorry, I'm serious. The Winged Wolves look like they've been preparing for a long time, while our warriors have not been trained for a long time." "When was the last time we trained?" My father frowned. "Three hundred years ago, Your Majesty." "Aren't we supposed to train every hundred years?" "Since there has been no war for so long, we have changed our training to once every three hundred years, Your Majesty." We all fell into silence. The Winged Wolves I despised turned out to be our formidable enemies. Aren't they slightly bigger mosquitoes to us? I couldn't help asking, "But how could we possibly lose with such a big difference in size? It is difficult for their swords and arrows to penetrate our skin." Beta replies, "Yes, that's what the warriors thought at first. But the winged wolves can fly, and they are always flexible enough to dodge attacks from warriors and pick their most
**Elizabeth's POV***"Why? Are you afraid of losing to her?" asked the King, laughing.Princess Shirley looked my figure up and down, from head to toe, clenched her fist, and said, "No. I will not lose to her! Let's fight!"Although I was still confused, I had a vague feeling that they had called me not just to scold me for beating the princess. They may have other ideas, but I don't care.If the King wants me to fight his precious daughter again, so be it. I'm not going to go easy on Princess Shirley just because he's there.The princess gracefully carried her skirt down the steps and stood face-to-face with me. There was still fear in her eyes, but she maintained her haughty attitude."You are lucky to be my opponent again. My father asked me to test you for combat skills. You can show it as you like. In order not to hurt you, I won't use my full strength."This proud princess was imploring me to play along with her and not to use my full strength. But why should I listen to her? I
**Elizabeth's POV***At Elroy's stunned gaze, I continued, "I knew that defeating the immature princess was my limit. I can't beat those adult giant wolves, no matter what. But that doesn't stop me from teaching them to explore their limits.""I'm confident I can be their instructor not because I'm stronger than they are, but because I know more than they do.""Elroy, when you think of me as more than just your beautiful useless doll, I will not only surprise you, I will shock you."Elroy became silent. The way he looked at me seemed to have changed. For so long, he had looked at me with a condescending, doting gaze until this moment when he began to look at me seriously."I see, Elizabeth."I finally felt respected by Elroy instead of being teased like a pet or a doll.Led by the king, I made my way to the warrior camp.The king announced that I would be their combat training instructor. Under the king's majesty, no one dared to raise any objection.They just looked at me with shock
**Elizabeth's POV***Two huge bodies rushed toward each other. I could even feel the ground shaking.The two swords clashed together with a heart-pounding sound. Elroy's strength was obviously not as great as that of the warrior. His sword was pressed lower and lower by his opponent.But Elroy remembered what I had told him earlier: Don't compare strength with your opponent.He spun outward on his toes, then deliberately tilted his sword downward. As the warrior stumbled, he slashed his palm.Elroy tried to get the warrior's sword off, but the warrior was apparently not the inexperienced Princess Shirley. The warrior took a few steps back at once to avoid Elroy's attack.The odor of blood made the atmosphere begin to change. It now looked like a real battle.Both of them had beast-like eyes that wanted to tear each other apart.The warrior roared and swung his sword at Elroy's arm, and Elroy dodged nimbly while not forgetting to find an opportunity to attack.They tested, defended, a
**Elizabeth's POV***I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. I froze for at least five seconds before making a sound."So, it was Alpha Galen who tried to kill you, and then blamed it all on the Giant Wolf? Oh, my moon goddess, thankfully, you survived. Isidore, you should expose your brother's conspiracy. You should show all the Winged Wolves that Galen is a lie-filled liar.""I'm sorry, but I can't do that."Isidore pushed my hand away, "I can't go see him. As soon as he sees me, he'll kill me immediately.""Isidore, I understand that you are scared. But if you give up accusing Alpha Galen, the war will not stop. Many giant and Winged Wolves are losing their lives in the war every second."I tried to persuade him."I know you must think I'm a coward. It's not that I'm afraid, but my accusations are completely useless.""My father wanted me to be the new Alpha on his deathbed because I'm an anti-war person like my father. We both want to keep a long-lasting peace with our neighbor, th
**Elizabeth's POV***By dawn, I had come up with a dozen options. I put them down on paper and summoned my maid to take me to the king.However, it was actually Prince Elroy at my summons."Good morning! Lady, may I have the honor of helping you?"He spoke playfully to me as soon as he entered."I want to see the king.""No problem, I'll take you there."Elroy opened his arms towards me.I ducked away from him, "No, no, that's not proper. I want a maid.""All right."Elroy dropped his hand in disappointment, "But before you go, you need to fulfill your promise.""What promise?"I was confused."A kiss, "Elroy pointed to his cheek, "Before I fought the warrior, you promised me a kiss if I won.""No, I didn't promise that. You said that yourself!"My eyes widened."Are you trying to renege? If you renege, I won't let you go out."Elroy stood in front of me and didn't let me leave."Stop it, Elroy, I have something very important to discuss with the king.""Fine. I'll allow you not to kiss me
**Elroy's POV***"Great! Give it to me now!"I reached for the necklace, but my father blocked my hand with his scepter."Wait, don't rush. I can lend it to Elizabeth, but it comes with a premise.""What's the premise?""The premise is that Elizabeth has to be our family. Do you understand what I mean, my son?"My heart began to beat faster, and my gut told me that my father was thinking the same thing I was thinking."You mean you want me to marry Elizabeth, right?"I asked, stumbling over my words."That's right!"My father tapped the ground with his scepter in delight."Once you marry Elizabeth, we'll be family. I can lend her the precious green crystal necklace, or even gift it to her. She can also stay in our grassland forever. It's a win-win situation."Listening to my father's depiction of a bright future, I actually didn't know what to say except to smirk. It seemed like my tongue wouldn't even move."I just heard the servant report that you two kissed on the road, right?"My fat
