When Demetrius learned what he did when he passed out, he was embarrassed and distant from me. I felt sorry for him, but I remained as solemn with him as possible, pretending that what he did was not affecting me.Henry had learned what had happened. He was chuckling while I threw the crumpled parchment in his direction. "That boy already had enough. Can you halt, you bastard lycan prince?" I couldn't help myself grimacing."Pardon me..." He wiped the tears that escaped from his eye. "I mean, I am not laughing at him. I am laughing at you."I smiled, a fake one. "Oh, I did not know I was good at spouting jokes," I said. "Good then. Hope you die from laughing." Henry chuckled one more time before he halted when we were interrupted by some knocks. "Your Royal Highnesses?"I frowned and returned from reading the Royal Ordinance Volume Five. It was part of my training to become a Crown Princess. I must memorize all the laws of the Yuanzhong Kingdom.My training was so painful that I had

'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

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

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

"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
