'Is it... unnatural that the Moon Goddess is helping me that I kept returning to the day before the tragedy?' I asked Henry when we were sauntering to the divine temple near the royal palace.We were in disguise, dressing in peasant clothing since we did not want to alert the other people that the crown prince and his fiance were 'dating.' We were not. That was not possible.'Yes. Especially if you are not a member of the divine temple and the royal lycan family.''Is it really alarming?''For me, yes. I want to confirm my suspicion of you.''That is?'"We're here."I looked up at the divine temple in the capital, Temple of the Moon Goddess. It was said that our Moon Goddess Herself built this temple so Her creations could worship her. She built the other main temples in the Waevalon, Sowinski, and Estasia Eglaria Kingdom."This place..." I eyed the establishment up and down. "This feels like home...""What did you say?"Seeing it was enough for me to know that a warm feeling was ling
Henry led me to a purely soundproof drawing room. Arriving there, I happened to meet for the first time the two chiefs of all of the divine priests and priestesses. High Priest Redgrave, the chief of all the divine priests. High Priestess Shea, the chief of all the divine priestesses. "We greet the little sun, Crown Prince Henricus, and the future little moon, Crown Princess Dominixe," they said in unison, bowing their heads before us. I eyed them up and down, eyeing their vestments, especially on their purple stoles with imprinted golden lavender-shaped designs. They were even wearing turbans, indicating they were the divine temple chiefs. "Greetings, Redgrave, Shea. It has been a while." It was Henry who managed the talking. "Indeed, Your Royal Highness." It was Redgrave who answered. "Shea and I are really expecting to meet you, and of course..." he paused and glanced at me, bowing his head before me. "Crown Princess Dominixe." I almost squinted my eyes, noticing that it look
Niccolo halted when he was about to reach my corset. He met my gaze before his eyes traveled south before he inhaled sharply and looked away."I do not know what you are talking about.""Right..." The feeling of bitterness was corrupting my whole being for no apparent reason. "Despite the fact that the circumstances have changed, you still return to the one who treated you a like a pet. How engaging..."My eyes followed my dress on the floor before I saw I was naked. I spun around and saw Niccolo averting his gaze from me."What do you mean about what you said?"I crossed my arms over my chest, scrutinizing this man. I was still reading him as if he was pretending to have no idea. Or it was my fault for keeping assuming things."Nothing. You may now be dismissed." I walked past him and went under the sheets, feeling like I was being drained right now. "Lock the door when you leave," I said to Niccolo, who hadn't moved to leave."As you wish." I snuggled closer to my pillow as soon as
It caused a colossal fuzz since everyone did not expect the royal lycan family would bestow two prizes.It was because the prize for the winner had changed this time. Last year, the winner of the hunting competition should be granted a wish that would be fulfilled by the royal lycan family.And now... this year, they were sacrificing the blue diamond chalices.This was crucial, especially since they were bestowing two blue diamond chalices. It was said that the Moon Goddess had carved those chalices Herself. It served as a pact between Her and the members of the royal lycan family with silver eyes that they were royalties.There was a rumor that those chalices glowed in the lunar eclipse, which was happening to the members of the royal lycan family with their silver eyes. The chalices are substantial national treasures of the Yuanzhong Kingdom. To think that they were using those national treasures as part of the prizes... what was Henry thinking? I knew this did not happen in the p
Niccolo and I settled in an empty cave when we saw the sunset. He was the one who made a bonfire while I helped him grill some fish we caught.We were silent before I glanced at him, only to find he was looking at me."What are you looking at?" My heart couldn't stop beating so fast just by meeting his gaze."Nothing..." Niccolo stayed silent and averted his gaze from me.I felt guilty for some reason before I lay down on the ground. "What do you mean about what you said earlier?" What he said earlier kept lingering in my head. It was bizarre that he would say that out of nowhere."What do you mean?""Do not act dumb. You know what I am saying." I turned at him. I knew that it was a bad idea to be with him. We wouldn't get along.Niccolo sighed, bestowing me with a grilled fish. "Here." I only looked at it, not moving an inch. "Do I have to feed you, my lady?" It looked like he was starting to lose his patience."Feed me then," I challenged him as I got up, jesting only. He did not e
"I have gathered 15 beast tails," Niccolo said the following day when I returned to the cave without him alone."I have 20," I said firmly, avoiding him and keeping my distance from him.Niccolo noticed it before he sighed. "About last night—""I do not know what you mean," I immediately chimed in before he could finish his words. I fixed my hair which was tied up in a ponytail hairstyle. "It would have been better if we parted ways. Let's meet once we have accumulated the number of beast's tails we need."He opened his mouth to think he would protest, but he backed down, looking melancholy. "As you wish."I secretly gnashed my teeth, feeling annoyed for a moment. Why did I feel irritated that he easily agreed with it?I silently castigated myself before I gathered all the tails I had taken from the beasts last night. I spent my time distracting myself but let the other animals run away from me. I had come to disturb their habitat, so it would mean that it would take a long moment bef
"It's a boy, Your Ladyship!"I was panting, exhausted, before I opened my eyes. "Huh...?" I asked, wondering.Hold on... I thought I was in the ancient forest? Where was I? Where was Niccolo?Did we lose in the competition?I gasped when I roamed my eyes around and saw that I was being surrounded by lots of maids while lying down in my bed.I was confused for a moment. What the hell was happening?I even lowered my head to see my legs being spread. I even felt a striking pain between my legs as if a watermelon had come out of my cunt. Lastly, a shrilling, piercing cry echoed in my ears.What...?What was happening?"He got your features, my lady!"I snapped back when a woman, covered with blood, approached me and bestowed me a... crying baby pup?My heart caressed when the baby pup was in my hands as he slowly stopped crying the moment he felt... me?Was that the right term?I looked at it. An instinct kicked inside me as soon as I saw him. However, this turmoil of emotions crept insi
"What did you say? You have an antidote with you?" I asked, surprised.I was actually asking him how I was still alive. I knew that I felt my last breath since I had died once.Niccolo consoled me until I was already alright to comprehend everything. Even though he was eager to know what my nightmare was since I did not say anything, he was beside me as he whispered sweet nothings so I could calm down. Then he told me what he did while I was in my vegetative state for the whole day.He said... He had an antidote with him which was why he saved my life back there."Yes, that's right," he said as he kept caressing the back of my hair.I felt some sweet shivers crawling down my whole body, which made me want to draw myself closer to him. Niccolo felt that as his hug tightened around me."How did you have an antidote?" I asked, finding it suspicious. "The wolfsbane coated in our blades is not just a simple poison. It needs a high concoction of antidote that only the members of the House
