"Bud, take a note of what she says. I'm not interested in wasting my time here. Alen, you know what to do with her body.""Yes, Your Highness," Alen and Bud replied.Kral gets up from his chair. Though Bernice was still alive, in Kral's eyes, she was almost dead.Alen opens the secret door again. Kral reached out to me and said gently, "Come with me. The air is bad here. It's not good for you to stay here.""No, no, no! Stop! Your Highness! Please give me another chance! I'll tell you everything!"Bernice screamed frantically, and all I saw in her curse was Kral's deep eyes. From the beginning, Kral had not even looked at Bernice.The blood-colored liquid ran around Bernice's mouth. Under the witch's magic and Kral's indifference, Bernice's psychological line of defense broke down completely.“Your Highness, I really don't know who he is. When he came to me, he didn't reveal any information about him, but I smelled that there was a fragrance of flowers on his black hood! ! It was like
Delia’s POVThe steam was rising around me. The bathroom window was open, and the white moon hung in the dark blue sky, shining like pearls on velvet cloth.I stared at the sky, lying in the bathroom tub, thinking about the day's events.What the elder William said about royal discipline, about loyalty to mate, reminded me of His Royal Highness Kral. He was so noble and cold. I remember how he questioned Bernice that afternoon. Had it not been for the sharp arrow, everything would have been under his control. Bernice was supposed to be able to tell the secret under Kral's guidance.Nothing seemed to escape Kral's grasp. He is always in control of the development and outcome of everything. He tortured Bernice's body for a week, then used the witch's potion to break her, and finally used her weakness to drive her to her death.He laughed in the dark. Even now in the warm tub, it still gives me chills.I shook my head, trying to shake off my memory of him. I hugged my shoulders and sank
It was the first time I had seen the palace so lively. The palace, which was always silent and cold, was suddenly surrounded by flowers, wine, and candlelight. The waiters walked through the hall, serving the nobles in their fancy clothes.I stood on the balcony on the second floor, looking down at the guests through the white veil. The women were graceful in their postures and the men were gentle in their manner. They gathered together in twos and threes, greeting each other politely and warmly. There were some old men in the simplest white robes. They may look like ordinary old people, but everyone knows they are the most powerful elders of all the nobles.These people were born with noble blood and status. Their every move was elegant and standard. Who would be the betrayer? I thought to myself."Sis, the banquet is about to start. Susana says His Highness is waiting for you in the Hall of Mirrors."Vivian pushed the door open, and I calmed myself down and walked over to her. She h
"What? ! A werewolf without a wolf?""That's funny! How can a werewolf not shift into a wolf?""What happened to Catherine? Why would she ask such a ridiculous question?""Well, that's understandable. She was His Highness' fiancee.""TSK, TSK, tsk, but his highness has made his choice. Catherine has given up, hasn't she?".......From what I heard, I realized that she was the fiancee Kral had mentioned.Catherine looked up at me with a look that made me wonder if she knew my secret. There was a desperate panic in my heart, and the color drained from my face, and I grew pale and did not know how to answer."Sis, do you want me to drug her so she can't talk?" Vivian, who was standing in the corner with Alen, looked at me worriedly as she spoke to me with a bell.I was being watched by everyone, and I had a cold sweat on my back. I put on a polite smile and asked, "Catherine, I wonder why you're asking me that?"Kral watched silently as she challenged me. I know I will face many challeng
I watched in amazement as Kral came towards me. He walked steadily and gracefully. His clothes framed his strong body, and his black hair fell on his forehead to hide his piercing golden eyes. He approached me step by step, just as he had picked me up at a dinner party a long time ago."Do you like the surprise?" He finally stood in front of me and handed me a bouquet of flowers.I looked at his face. The full moon illuminated the side of his face, and his high nose and sharp thin lips were strangely soft. The fireworks were reflected in his golden eyes, and the smell of roses floated around us like mist. It all seems to happen in a dream."Your Highness..." my eyes widened. My heart is stuffed. His surprise and everyone's eyes let me at a loss. I clutched the flower in my hand. The delicate stem was pressed out of the juice and dyed my fingers red.I felt like an animal in a trap, hovering over the delicious bait. My heart is intoxicated with him, and my mind is warning me to stay aw
The maids are out. My nerves finally relaxed. I breathed a sigh of relief and got into the bath and slowly relaxed every pore in the hot water.What happened at the party today is far beyond my expectations. There were no quarrels or apparent conflicts, but under the calm surface there was plenty of confrontation. Everyone has his own mind. Kral and I face a complicated and dangerous situation.The war has begun, hasn't it?Is the road to the throne really thorny, even for Kral?Forget it! I don't think about these complicated things. I am very tired today. I just want to take a bath and get some sleep. I have a hunch that I will have to face more difficult people and things tomorrow.While I was resting with my eyes closed in the bathtub, a large hand touched my bare shoulder."Who?" I stammered.After being treated like that by Susana in the bathroom for the first time, I didn't allow anyone to go into the bathroom while I was in the shower."Who else but me?"The man behind me lowe
"Delia, you're the first werewolf to leave a mark on me, and as your master, I owe you a little punishment."The tip of Kral's high nose kept touching my face like a wolf studying how to bite its prey, his golden pupils like a pool. I closed my eyes and dared not move.He lay on top of me and the bed sank slightly. His legs pushed open my knees, and the fabric left a faint red mark on my soft skin, forcing me apart. The pink towel slid off as he moved. My body was exposed to him.“You... you said you wouldn't force me,” I said, breathing fast and trembling with a touch of grievance.The sense of danger in Kral froze for a moment, and I seized the moment to kick him with all my strength. Kral was kicked out of bed."F.uck!"I opened my eyes and saw Kral's face contorted. He covered his lower body and the veins in his forehead bulged.I watched his movements.No way!I wrapped the quilt around myself and got out of bed to help him up. I wanted to feel his wound."I didn't mean to, maste
This was the first invitation I had received since I entered the palace. The invitation came from my nominal rival in love. It's from Catherine, the Prince's ex-fiancee."Sis, are you going to see her?" Vivian cocked her head. She also saw the struggle on my face.How could I not struggle?At the party, Catherine's defiant smile and the implied words still haunt me. I lowered my eyes and remembered that she was wearing a red dress similar to mine, but with a completely different aura, proud and arrogant."Miss, I don't think it's a good idea to turn down an invitation. You'll have to deal with them in the future," Susana said calmly, standing aside. She probably saw my hesitation too, so she suggested it directly.I was silent for a moment. What Kral said to me that day in the lake suddenly crossed my mind.‘Everyone will treat you according to your strength. You must prove yourself worthy of the Queen's Crown.’Cowardice leads only to ridicule and bullying. Running away won't solve t
