**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
**Elizabeth's POV***Above is the grassland, and below is the valley.The grassland and the valley are like two different worlds. If the grassland is a utopia full of happiness, then the valley is a hell full of despair.Everything is upside down.When I was in the grassland, I was the smallest creature in the whole grassland. Everything is too big for me. When I am in the valley, I am the largest creature in the entire valley, and everything is too small for me.Several servants put five beds together to make a bed suitable for me to sleep in.The house is also very short, and I have to lower my head a lot, or I will hit the roof.I am like a giant living here.Do I really have to attend the Queen's ceremony? I'll look more like King Julian's sister or his mother when I stand next to him, right?Forget it, it doesn't matter. Everything is fake anyway. It was all about keeping my baby.Once again, I put my hand on my belly.I'm afraid I'll only know if the baby's father is Isidore or
**Elizabeth's POV***The door opened, and a dozen servants came in carrying a huge bed."Why are they..." I was surprised."The king and queen should be sleeping in the same room." Julian gave me a hint with his eyes. I immediately shut my mouth.Seeing the servants remove the king's old bed and replace it with a new one, my heart began to beat faster.Did this mean that I would have to sleep with Julian in the same bed in the future?I didn't mind sleeping with him in the cave because I thought he was just a young boy unconscious from his injuries. But now that I know he's an adult...It was so awkward."Don't put on a reluctant face. I'm quite well-behaved when I sleep. I don't snore, grind my teeth, sleepwalk, talk in my sleep, and I definitely won't touch you or your belly.""I won't either," I said.Thankfully, the bed was big enough that we slept in the same bed without touching each other's hands or feet at all. We had a quiet night.The days went by.My belly got bigger, whil
**Julian's POV***For the next half of the month, Elizabeth did not set out to make the flying machine she described that day, but proceeded to learn to make other items under the tutelage of her teacher.I prefer to call them toys. For example, some wind-up ducks that walk on their own and wooden bears that make roaring sounds.However, Elizabeth seemed to enjoy being creative. She showed me her little inventions sometimes, such as some wind-up bears that walk on two feet, and wooden ducks that make roaring noises.Well, that's kind of interesting. It's just something for women and children to pass the time.I never expected that Elizabeth would give me another big surprise half a month later.At night, when I pushed open the door to my room, something flew out of the room and hit me in the forehead.It almost knocked off my crown. I was about to lash out when I heard Elizabeth's gasp."Oh, I'm so sorry, Julian, I tried to make it stop, but failed. It doesn't let me control it very
**Julian's POV***Elizabeth looked up at me after a while, "I didn't think you'd want to leave the valley that much. I thought you'd like to stay here...""Why would you think that?""No offense, you are the king of all in the valley. You have the respect of everyone. But you lose everything you have once you leave the valley. I thought you would prefer to stay here. After all, the outside world is dangerous.""No, I don't enjoy staying here, I hate the forbidden valley more than anyone else." I sneered, with hate oozing out of my eyes.I have never told anyone how much I hate the valley. Because I am the king here. I had to be peaceful in order to appease all the inhabitants of the valley.But I couldn't control my desire to talk in front of Elizabeth at that moment."Elizabeth, I'll tell you a secret. You have to forget it after you hear it. We announced to the public that my parents had died of illness. But in fact, they committed suicide because they couldn't stand living at the
**Elizabeth's POV***We flew higher and higher. After a while, we looked down and saw that the huge plane on the ground was as small as a sesame seed.And, I began to feel the wind picking up. I made the golden feather slow down."Julian, I think we're approaching the threshold that triggers the gale." I said seriously."Yes," Julian gripped my arm tightly with both hands, "I feel a force tugging me downward.""Okay, now we're slowly going up. Half a meter per second, what do you think?""No problem. I'm ready to go." Julian said.I manipulated the golden feather to rise slowly."This golden feather is so amazing. It can hover still in the air, can't it?" Julian said pleasantly."Yes, keep quiet. I need to give it my full attention. The gale will be here any minute.""OK."Just as I had risen about 2 meters, a terrible force suddenly came from below to roll us down. But I was prepared for it. I immediately manipulated the golden feather to descend to keep my balance.Thanks to my hun
**Elizabeth's POV** * "The King's Scepter is a treasure given to me by my father. It gives us special powers. It is for this reason that those inhabitants obey and fear us. This is the most important secret of our royal family. I will not tell anyone the secret of your golden feather, and you must not tell the secret of the King's Scepter." I was impressed. Julian traded secrets with me, which meant he trusted me totally, "Okay, deal." I think I didn't just find an ally tonight, I found a friend. "You haven't told me what the experience of owning a wolf is like? Can you talk to your wolf?" "Well, owning a wolf is like finding the other half of your soul. I feel strong and powerful. It will communicate with me in my mind, like the closest friend. But sometimes I think it is like a troublesome and naughty child. " "Why do you say that?" "It retains the nature of a beast. It is easily impulsive and out of control. It does not tend to be sensible, but wild. It will prompt me to mak
**Elizabeth's POV***I saw Julian covering his face in distress. After a few minutes, he sighed heavily."Okay. I'll do that. But this is the last time. I won't let this happen again. Lead the way."Julian walked in the direction of the prison with the Beta guiding him.Watching Julian's back as he left, I realized that Julian was carrying more pressure on his shoulders than I could ever imagine.He was not the cruel and unsympathetic king I had thought he was. On the contrary, he was full of justice and loved his people. He felt sad about sacrificing his people for peace, even though it was the prisoners who were sacrificed.I couldn't help but think about what the female prisoners would go through after being given to the monster.Would the monster eat them? Why did they have to be females? Would the monster also rape them?I shuddered at the scene I imagined.I felt sorry for the female prisoner who was about to be sent to the monster.I hurried back to the table to check the plan
