The Werewolf King's Bride

Chapter 259: Carefree About Death

(From Blue's Perspective)

"Yes, thanks to my husband's nature of having one wife only and being loyal to his wife, I don't have to take care of such matters. I also am the type to be with one person and be loyal to him. Our natures match, so we don't have to worry about causing trouble for each other," I said.

"Is it because of the so-called love?"

"Well, it's not just about love. Trust, loyalty, and love- all of them are needed for a loving relationship," I said. "We both think that these things are very important. Thus, we are able to maintain a good relationship."

"That's good. But it's a surprise that you two have a good relationship despite knowing the past you two have."

'He must be referring to the fact that Dem wanted me for power at first. But did he forget that he was controlled that time?'

"Our pasts are not normal, of course. But we trust and love each other. Yes, it was not easy for me to get past all those things, but he helped me a lot and proved himself. I don't need anything else for now. We are doing rather well, and I wish things will keep getting better for us," I said.

"I don't have any reason to wish bad for you and King Demetrius's married life. If things go well for you two, perhaps it will help me more as well," he chuckled.

'King Ford doesn't seem like a bad person. He is, what can I say, cunning, but is not planning to deceive us for now. He must want wholeheartedly to remove that dark mage.'

"Where is the King by the way?" he asked.

"He has gone out and won't be back until midnight," I said. "That's why I am saying that we should talk in front of Luc. It will be better if you return now, Evan."

"Yes, if you say so," he nodded and stood up.

Before he could move a bit, there was an explosion in the room and the glasses of the windows shattered. I was shocked, but Evan was more shocked.

I stood up abruptly and walked over into the smoke near the window. "Blue, be careful. There might be someone...," Evan started, but stopped quickly when he found me pulling someone by the ear and pulling him out of the smoke.

"I am sorry, Your Highness. I was just testing this new method..."

"Isn't that your personal mage Flint?" Evan muttered.

I sighed and pulled his air and he groaned in pain. "Are you crazy? What are you doing again? It's the second time you have done something like this. If you are practicing a new method of whatever it is you are doing, don't target my office!"

"What can I do? I wanted to show it to Your Highness first," Flint said.

"You want another bonus, you brat? Fix the glasses quickly. You are going to clean them as well," I said.

"Ack, let go of my ear, Your Highness! It hurts...!"

"It's your fault. If you do it again, I will fire you for sure."

"Hah, Your Highness is not going to fire me. I know that... I know too many secrets!" he grinned.

"... If Dem was here, he would have slashed you," I said.

"But Your Highness is my master. So, it's fine," he shrugged. "Your Highness would have stopped His Highness. That said, will you let go of my ear now? I will fix this room and also clean the shattered glasses on the floor, I promise."

"Haa," I sighed and let go of his ear. "I will give you half an hour. Clean the room."

"Yes, master!"

"Stop calling me that!" I barked.

"... Yes, Your Highness."

I sighed again and took some of the documents that I needed to take care of with me. "I will come back in a while. Fix this place. I am telling you, Flint, no joking around. I will punch you if you do that."

"It won't hurt because Your Highness is a human and I am a werewolf."

"You are frailer than me," I said. "Dem said you were breathing like a dog when we reached the top of the clock tower last night."

"How rude! Even so, I am confident that I am stronger than Your Highness."

"I don't wanna talk to you anymore. You gave me a headache," I grumbled. "I am leaving. Make sure you fix everything before you come back."

I went out of the room and Evan followed. For a moment, I had forgotten he was there as well.

"Pfft!"

"Stop laughing. Why are you laughing?"

"Oh my... Your mage is pretty funny. I almost laughed out loud back there."

"You could. There is no point in not laughing in front of him and then laughing in front of me when he is not here," I said.

"My spies were right. You surely are close with your subordinates and you also are like a friend to them. No wonder they don't even think of betraying you."

"How do you know what they are thinking? It's not like you can read their minds."

"I don't need to read minds to know that. I can read people well without reading their minds. Just watching them is enough," he said.

"I see... Anyway, I think I will go to my bedroom to finish my work for now. You can take a look around or return to your room. The servants will show you around if you want to," I said.

"Nah, I don't have the energy to look around. I will just return to my room as well and take a nap since it's very hard to relax. I suppose it's the same for you and the King."

"I can't deny it," I chuckled. "Well, see you later then, Evan. I hope you have a pleasant stay."

"I will."

I returned to my bedroom and went straight to the balcony. It was fun to work there which I found out when Dem was not present and had to go out a lot.

"Why is Your Highness working here?" Ruby asked.

"Flint broke the glasses of the windows. He is cleaning the place up now," I said.

"He is as arrogant and childish as ever! Who will think that he is married and expecting a child? I can only think how much his wife has to suffer because of him!"

"The way Flint talks about his wife, it seems they are happy," I smiled. "That's all matters. Their personalities might be different and they might have a lot of flaws, but as long as they suit each other, it's all fine."

"Your Highness has a point there..."

"Enough chit-chat. Can you get me some tea, Ruby? My head is hurting..."

"Did Your Highness sleep last night?"

"I did..."

"I think it's because Your Highness cried."

"Perhaps..."

Ruby nagged me a bit as I worked and then made me tea. Her techniques to make tea were different and they tasted slightly peculiar as well, but not in a bad way.

I sent a letter to Luc through Ruby. I told her to be the one to deliver it since it would be great if I could make them meet as often as possible before the wedding ceremony. It would be better if Luc got attached to her soon.

"I am sorry, Your Highness. I am a bit late," Perita panted. She was with me in my office, even when Evan went there. But then, she disappeared just like that. Knowing her personality, I did not question it either.

"Where did you go all of a sudden?"

"I saw someone outside, Your Highness. Someone was trying to throw something through your window, Your Highness. I did not have the time to explain. Because of Flint's dumbness, that person could not do anything. I chased that person, but could not find him anymore. I still don't understand how that fucker got inside the palace!"

"Well, I suppose it's someone from the palace who wants to hurt me or kill me," I shrugged.

"Why is Your Highness so carefree?"

"I don't know. These days, I am a lot carefree when I think about my death," I muttered.

"Please do not say so, Your Highness. No one would like it if something happens to Your Highness. Your Highness is very precious to us."

"Haha, I see," I laughed.

But I still did not feel anything. If it was death, perhaps it would not be hard to accept mine if something happens to me. The strange thing was I did not even know why I felt that way.
