The Werewolf King's Bride

Chapter 265: Mother Of A Kingdom

(From Blue's Perspective)

"Ugh, what is...?" I mumbled after I opened my eyes in the morning.

I found myself naked from head to toe and a muscular arm was wrapped around my waist tightly.

'We did it last night? Ah, I remember now. We really did it... It was pretty intense as well. Perhaps because I was drunk, I had much more energy than usual and Dem is always energetic. Now my waist hurts...

But I feel refreshed.'

It was very early in the morning. Dem was supposed to get up after approximately half an hour. It was rare for me to get up before him.

I slowly turned to face him and wrapped my arms around him cautiously so he would not wake me up.

'Ah, he smells nice as usual...'

Yesterday's events came to my mind. I was not as scared as before about what happened. Perhaps I would get used to these kinds of things eventually.

I remembered the drinking party as well and how I got drunk. I even said some embarrassing stuff. Now, I just wanted to dig a grave and bury myself. It was too embarrassing. If only Luc was present, it would have been alright. But Evan was present there as well.

He surely thought I was a perverted Queen. It would have been better if I had a blackout. In that case, I would not have to worry since I would have forgotten about it all.

Dem avoided talking about the incident the whole time. I had a feeling that he did not even want to think about it. I did not tell him anything about it after the bath as well since I did not want to think about it either. But his anxious and angry face still came before me whenever I closed my eyes.

"I love you," I mumbled, hugging him tightly.

I had fallen asleep again and woke up alone in the bed. Ruby had also come to wake me up at the same time. I wished Dem was beside me when I woke up, but he had work.

"Your Highness is up today," Ruby smiled. "What is that?"

"What?" I asked and looked at my hand where she pointed with her eyes. There was a piece of paper.

I love you too. I was awake and heard you saying those sweet words to me. It seemed you did not want me to wake up, so I did not reply at that time. I am doing so now. I love you a lot, baby. Have a good day and I won't be going out today, so let's have lunch and dinner together.

"Are you okay, Your Highness?" Ruby asked as I covered my face with my hands.

"Yes..."

"What's written on that paper? Your Highness has been getting weird messages on papers lately," she said. "Do I have to let His Highness know that there is another one? How did that come here in the first place?"

"No, you don't need to tell him," I said, sitting up. "Dem wrote it."

"Oh, so that's why Your Highness is behaving weird," she said. "Thank god, it's His Highness. I got a big scare."

"You did not look scared at all."

"Probably because I have killed a faceless man in my head several times after those weird things started to happen," she said nonchalantly. "I will prepare the bath, Your Highness. You also need some ointment for those marks. It's hot today, so Your Highness can't wear full-sleeved dresses. Since you are going to be inside, I think it's better to go with something sleeveless.

What do you think, Your Highness?"

"Huh? Sure..."

'Werewolves surely are crazy. Their thoughts are very strange. I can't believe I still haven't got used to it.'

After the bath, I went to my office. It was a usual day. Perita was by my side the whole time because of yesterday's incident. After seeing her, I remembered that I had forgotten to tell Dem that I was almost attacked once before as well.

'What's the point of having an extraordinary memory if I can't remember every day's events? I only remember the things I pay attention to. If I read something attentively, I will remember everything line by line. If I hear someone's words attentively, I will remember that as well. But I forget daily events sometimes.'

"I have not reported to His Highness since Your Highness has not commanded me yet. I am Your Highness's personal knight after all. You are my first master," she said.

"That's okay. I will tell him myself," I said.

Reece reported to me as usual. He handed me a letter left by Evan. He could not give me farewell himself. That was why he wrote a letter and left it for me.

"I actually got a pretty big shock this morning. A woman with only a blanket wrapped around her came to my office right after I came and gave me an envelope. She even asked if I wanted to hire her because she was very good at it," Reece said. "I mean, who expects to see something like that right after coming to work?"

"Haha, she might be the woman who served Evan last night," I mumbled.

"Then I found Your Highness's letter and paid her. She said she was waiting for me to come so she could take her payment. It turned out she was not joking about inviting me, so I had to refuse her twice," he said.

After working for me for a few days, Reece was not as guarded as before and talked freely to me. I made sure all of my employees were free with me so the work atmosphere would remain cheerful.

"By the way, Your Highness, Mother has sent some cookies for you. Would you like to taste them?"

"Countess? Sure, I would love to," I said.

"Then I will leave them on your table. Perita, don't touch them before Her Highness does!"

"I am not a pig," Perita pouted.

A Queen was called the mother of the kingdom. I never felt that way, to be honest. Was it because I did not belong to this world that I could not embrace this kingdom as mine? I was hoping that after a few years, I would manage to be the real mother of this kingdom. But after spending time with these people, I felt like their mother now.

"Reece, go back to your work. Good work, by the way. And pass on my thanks to the Countess, okay? I will also write to her after tasting the cookies."

"Yes, I will," he bowed.

Though I did not want to do this, I still had to get the cookies checked before tasting them. There was nothing in them, so I could taste them freely. There were sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies. Perita, Flint, and I ate most of them. Ruby refused to say that she had a stomachache. She said she was not feeling well since she felt like she would have her period at any time.

I was hoping that it would not be on her wedding day.

'What about the wedding night then? Things need to go spicy...'

I also took some cookies for Dem and sent a picture of the cookies to Luc to make him jealous that I tasted his mother-in-law's handmade cookies before him only to find out that she sent him cookies as well. I could hear his laugh in my head without meeting him.

There were no cameras in this world. But pictures could be taken using manas. They were not high-quality pictures, so to capture important events, they depended on paintings. Flint took those pictures and he was very enthusiastic when he heard that it was to make Luc jealous. He liked to do these kinds of things.

During lunch, I told Dem about the incident. Two glasses and a plate broke only- it was a somewhat peaceful environment other than that. And just like that, a few days passed and it was time for Ruby's fitting.

"Your Highness has a lot of work. You don't have to make time for me," Ruby said.

"But I want to. My wedding dress was made in a way that it would fit anyone who wears them. Dem did not know my size, so he prepared all my dresses like that. It's possible. That's why I want to see this," I said.

"I want to see it as well. It's a good thing I am Your Highness's escort. I can have fun a lot," Perita said.

"Yeah, but don't forget that you have to go to the Prime Minister's mansion with Flint this evening to deliver my message. I am not letting that guy go alone. He hates the Prime Minister's son and will get into a fight with him if someone is not with him. They can't even do much of a thing, but complain to me, since he is my personal mage," I said.
