**Julian's POV***I swear, I will summon her when her body becomes as short as mine, or even shorter than mine. I want to see a look of awe and respect for me spread across her face!While I was thinking, Elizabeth took me down to the ground.Well, I must admit that she flew with me much faster than I could on foot by myself. But in any case, her act of offending me could not be excused.Just as I was about to rush up to find my lost King's Scepter, Elizabeth suddenly covered my eyes."Poor boy, you will soon see the terrible scene. May their corpses not leave you traumatized."I will not suffer traumatization. I have ordered the hanging of countless people who have offended me. I have even ordered the bodies of these offenders to be hung for public display. I have created more corpses than she has ever seen. Hopefully, she won't be traumatized when she finds out about it.I sneered and pushed her away, but she grabbed my hand, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."Fucking hell. That's enough
**Elizabeth's POV***"Yes, I can. I suppose the other winged wolves can, too.""No, they can't," Jo said very firmly, as if he knew more winged wolves than I did.I laughed and didn't argue with him about this. Let's just assume he was right."Anyway, I trained several times, and then I got it. Maybe I'm smarter than others."I saw Jo squint with his mouth twitching, seemingly disagreeing with my "smart" comment.OK, whatever.We finally arrived in town.The town was surprisingly bustling. I used to think I was the only one alive at the bottom of the valley, but now I saw countless living people. Can you imagine how excited I was?I looked around with great excitement, I really wanted to put my wings out and circle the sky.I found a lot of things here that I had never seen before. For example, big cars with four wheels are made of wood. Many children were sitting on them and driving, and their movements looked very skilled.But soon, I noticed that almost all the people I could see
**Elizabeth's POV***I was wandering aimlessly through the streets like a ghost. I didn't know where I was going or when I was going to stop, I was just walking.I was so shocked that I couldn't express any corresponding emotion: sadness, regret, none of it, just numbness.My tall size was very prominent among all the dwarf wolves. Almost everyone would look up at me and sneer.Maybe they were not sneering at me, they were sneering at their past selves. Perhaps a long time ago, they also experienced the process from excitement to despair, just like me.Walking from light to dark, I finally accepted this fact in desperation. That man did not lie to me. What he said was true.I did not see an adult of my size for the entire day. Meanwhile, I saw many "children" with wings.I think they were once winged wolves. After falling into the forbidden valley, they slowly turn into dwarf wolves.This also proved one thing: they couldn't leave the valley even if they had wings.My striking brain
**Elizabeth's POV***I looked at the crowd of onlookers. None of them felt that these doctors were behaving abnormally. It was as if I was the one who was behaving abnormally in their eyes."You're all crazy! Damn it!" I cursed and prepared to run away, but a doctor grabbed my arm firmly."You can't leave!""Let go of me!"I kicked the doctor. He let out a scream and then fell to the ground spitting blood.The scene scared everyone, including me. I swear I didn't kick him with a lot of force."Call the guards! Call the guards! There's been a murder!" The crowd of onlookers screamed."No, no," I explained in a panic, "I didn't mean to hurt him! I didn't try to kill him!"I tried to crouch down to check on the injured doctor, but the other doctors shouted at me with their weapons, "Stay away! Don't come near him! You murderer!"Oh, my Moon Goddess, what the fuck is going on here? I was suddenly treated like a murderer. I didn't expect these dwarf wolves to be so weak.Soon, a group of
**Julian's POV***But in any case, Elizabeth saved my life. I could only blame her internally without actually punishing her.I ran away from her when she wasn't looking, as we entered the town.I took a hot bath after returning to the palace and then slept in a soft velvet-covered bed. Finally, I forgot about the bad feeling I had in the cave.The only regret was that my scepter still stank.I couldn't help but wonder what Elizabeth was doing now.She would have learned the truth from the townspeople by now. She would have figured out that I wasn't the young boy she thought I was, but an adult.Maybe she had guessed that Jo's name was fake too.But it doesn't matter. We won't see each other again for a long time. She won't know that the person she saved is the most honored king in the forbidden valley.Well, I will not shortchange her. The generous reward I promised to give her will be paid.I summoned my most trusted Beta."Give you an important secret mission," I said.My Beta kne
**Elizabeth's POV***I closed my eyes in despair as I saw the men throwing the torches they held toward my feet.A tear crossed my cheek.But soon, there were countless raindrops falling on my face and head, so many that I knew clearly that they could not be my tears.I opened my eyes and saw a large dark cloud gathering over my head. Countless drops of rain fell from the dark clouds and doused the flames at my feet.It was...so bizarre. It seemed to be raining only above me, while everywhere else was clear.Was the moon goddess helping me?"You can't burn her!"A familiar voice came from far to near. Everyone looked over in the direction the voice came from, including me.A magnificent golden vehicle slowly drove into the crowd.Who is the coming person? Was the appearance of the rain that saved my life a coincidence, or was it related to the person sitting in the vehicle?The door of the vehicle opened, and a hand holding a scepter appeared in the view of all.On top of the scepter
**Elizabeth's POV***But Jo seemed to see my confusion. He put a finger to my lips and signaled for me not to speak.Then he turned and blocked me with his body."Can I take my wife away now?""Of course, you can! Please!" The voices of several elders were trembling with fear. They knelt with their heads on the ground, not daring to lift them up at all.I got into the king's gold-made vehicle with the help of maids. This was my first experience with this kind of transportation unique to the forbidden valley. But I was not in the mood to experience it carefully. I was still in shock over what had just happened."Are you...the king?" I asked in a whisper.Jo sat next to me, and instead of answering my question, he raised his index finger to his lips once again, signaling me to be quiet.I gulped and stopped talking. But my heart was beating loudly, filling the entire space in the vehicle. I think Jo should have heard it.The vehicle was a little small for me, and the inevitable touch o
**Elizabeth's POV***"You mean they gave birth to babies covered in fire again? Or that babies covered in fire tore open their bellies and crawled out?" The more I thought about it, the more terrified I felt, and I couldn't help but reach up and touch my stomach.If the curse is true, will my child be born in such a way?"You guessed it right. And any abortifacient drugs won't work on those fetuses. Moreover, something even worse has happened, making the residents of the valley determined that they must kill these monsters covered in fire.""What happened...?""Those flame-covered babies escaped after they were born, and no one knew where they went. But, about a hundred years ago, they reappeared. And. They grew up.""They became big, grown-up, flame-covered monsters. They used to come into the town to kill and rob some young girls. They became a nightmare for everyone.""Holy crap," I covered my mouth. Now I understood why they were so scared. The carnage that could happen at any mo
