Under the twinkling chandeliers that made the event's atmosphere that evening more gorgeously, Luelle and Jermaine were still embracing each other in a dance. Swinging to the rhythm of the music that brings them into an endless waltz.“You're pretty strong at dancing for someone pregnant, Luelle,” Jermaine said softly as he gently pressed Luelle's head with his chin.Luelle chuckled. She pulled her head back, then raised it to meet Jermaine's eyes. “I've always been strong when it comes to dancing. You're the only one who never knows because you've never done it with me."Jermain grinned. Inside, he thought the reason he never danced with Luelle was out of respect for Sashal's feelings, who had also never danced with any other man besides him. Even though no one made that rule, nor did Sashal ever expressly forbid it, Jermaine still did it as a form of respect for his wife and also as a savior for other women.Because he knew how snappy Sashal was when facing a woman who deliberately

“Do you remember your nickname when we were kids?”My nickname when I was a kid? There are many, of course. If it's from my parents, maybe I hear the calls 'stupid' and 'b#tch' more often. But from kids around my age at that time, maybe the call 'monkey' I heard more often, especially from boys who liked to tease me.I looked at Ansel. I wonder which nickname he remembered until now and made an impression on his mind…"Um, monkey lady?" I replied."What?" Ansel looked genuinely surprised, and then he chuckled.His expression was quite funny as his eyes widened to one side, followed by a corner of his lips. Dispelling for a moment the image of the sinister Beta Duke he had carried for years. But that scary expression he makes daily makes many women wish they could harbor their love for Ansel.Several times, the ladies asked me for help arranging an arranged marriage with Ansel. But since Ansel looks annoyed every time I mention that, I'm not continuing as his matchmaker. I must give in

It is quite challenging to find his princess, who is still locked in her cage. Even if he put his all into it, it wasn't enough to make him find Sashal. Meanwhile, transforming into the form of a cub wolf is one of his main skills to avoid suspicion. He had proven that time and time again when he infiltrated the Southern Olf.He walked around the garden around the hall. He's trying his luck at that, then goes, Tada! His luck works well when he can see Sashal out of the big building.Sashal walked with Ansel, a Beta he had met the other day. His claws dig deep into the ground with every step he takes, then hide behind the bushes in the garden, among the flowers that hopefully distract others from his existence.[‘Please. Be kind to her. No, you don't have to be nice to her. Just... don't show your dislike towards her and Jermaine….’]Hearing that request left Sashal's mouth with a trembling voice, left not only Ansel speechless but Rohan as well. He had growled low several times when h

There is only one day left before the year-end celebration, as well as the welcoming of Northern envoys takes place.Today was just another hectic day after yesterday's completion of Luelle's appointment as a royal concubine. Even though I had to think hard from one morning to solve one problem after another, I'm grateful. Because at least I haven't heard anything about Luelle all day. So I can put my focus on the events for tomorrow.The plan was for Northern's envoys to arrive at noon. And at noon that day, we will also have a welcoming ceremony for them, followed by a luncheon. Then, at night, they will be guests of honor at the year-end celebration which almost all of the nobility will attend.I heard from Bella that the streets in the capital have been busily decorated to welcome the festive year-end event, especially since there will be a historic event where the Northern Kingdom will also be present this year.I read that many media have written articles to welcome this histori

“I have prepared a separate banquet for you and the other. Let's follow this side.” Jermaine stared fixedly into Rohan's eyes, ensuring they stayed in his line of sight and did not wander.Because what annoyed him even more was… when those golden eyes fell on Sashal, his wife.“Thank you for the warm welcome for us. If so, you can lead the way.”Jermaine heaved a sigh of relief quietly at Rohan's response. "Then, it's over here." He turned around, gesturing to his assistants. Thinking that this uncomfortable feeling would end soon,But…"Ah, did the princess- I mean, did the queen to coming with us?"Sashal flinch. She also realized that her body seemed to freeze so she didn't follow Jermaine's steps in beat."I will," Sashal answered flatly. She managed her voice so that it didn't come out shaking.Rohan extended his hand to Sashal with a smile on his face. “Let me escort you, Your Majesty. I heard this kind of action is considered a gentlemen's gesture. Then, allow me to be your gen
