The Werewolf King's Bride

Chapter 273: Dinner With Ruby And Luc

(From Blue's Perspective)

Just as Dem said, Luc said that it did not matter to him if Ruby was okay with it. She did not refuse as well.

'Well, I am not here to judge, but no one could ever make me share a night with my husband when I am on my period. That's kinda gross... Anyway, it's their decision. So, I will support whatever they choose.'

"You are more nervous than them," Dem said during our dinner. Tomorrow was Ruby's wedding. I was truly very nervous.

"Just make sure you hide Blue well from two vultures' eyes," Luc said. "I swear they will try to steal her."

"Why is Lord Luc calling his parents vultures?" Ruby grumbled. "That's improper."

"You are saying that because you don't know them," Luc said. "They will surely ask for both Blue's and Dem's permission to adopt Blue."

"They are still on that?" Dem asked. "I thought they were joking."

"They sent you letters too?" Luc asked, looking horrified.

"They did. But I thought they were joking all this time," Dem said.

"Maybe I will say yes if they want to adopt me," I chuckled. "In that way, I will get new parents, a brother, and a sister-in-law. It will be fun."

"Haa, it's not like I don't want it to happen. I mean, it won't be bad. But honesty, those two old..."

"Your parents are a lot better than you," Dem rolled his eyes. "How did you even turn out this way? What a shock...!"

"Dining with His Highness and Lord Luc surely is lively," Ruby chuckled. "Not a single moment is silent."

"That's true. My ears will start bleeding at any moment. Why do they always fight? Really, the reasons are weird too," I sighed.

"Ruby, you must be nervous," I said.

"Not as much as Your Highness for sure," she laughed. "Your Highness was as nervous as today when you got married. I still remember..."

"Yeah, I was," I chuckled. "Actually, I thought Dem was making fun of me giving me false hopes."

"Your Highness had all the reasons to think like that," Ruby said.

Ruby was sitting close to me, so it was easy for us to talk. Luc was sitting close to Dem and they were arguing over something.

"Yeah. But well, I was proven wrong," I said.

The dinner was pretty fun since Luc and Ruby were here as well. It was a like a double dinner date.

"Should we have a drinking party now?" Luc exclaimed.

"No," Dem declined firmly.

"Come on. Ruby can drink, right?" Luc asked.

"I can, but... Her Highness cannot hold her alcohol at all. She gets drunk even if she drinks very little and will completely lose herself," she said.

"Don't worry about me. I will drink less this time. No, I will drink juice then. It's not like alcohol is my favorite, don't worry," I said. "Can we do it now, Dem?"

"Haa, alright," he nodded.

Just like before, Luc got drunk very quickly. Ruby seemed to have high alcohol tolerance. Dem was as usual drinking with a poker face. He usually did not change his expression no matter what, though he showed different facial expressions when he was alone with me. Among them, I was the only one not drinking wine.

'I feel like a kid...'

But it was very much accurate that I always lost myself when I was drunk and the next morning, I would have a bad headache. They were just worried about me.

"Do you know, Ruby, Blue told me about a book and also gave it to me?" Luc muttered.

'He has lost it.'

"What book?" Ruby asked.

"That bastard is gonna get embarrassed tomorrow," Dem laughed evilly. "Don't you stop him, Blue. Haha, idiot!"

'I'm sorry, Luc.' Find adventures at m_v l|e-NovelBin.net

"It's about sex positions and other matters related to sex," he replied and that was also very loudly. "Since none of us is experienced, it would be better to read it first. What do you say?"

"Did Your Highness actually give him a book like that?" Ruby asked, turning bright red.

"Well, that's not my book," I mumbled. "But I did give him."

"I know that's not Your Highness's book. You have never read something like that," she said. "Was something like this in the library?"

"Yes, there are quite a lot of them in the library," I said.

"Really? I will take more of them then," Luc said.

"Lord Luc, don't drink anymore," Ruby said anxiously. "Should I smack him behind his head?"

"Yes, that would be great," Dem nodded.

"Jeez, don't do something like this. I will get Perita to take him to the magic tower. She can't carry him unfortunately since he is actually quite heavy though he doesn't seem so. Dem said this," I said.

"She can just drag him," Dem said. "He will get the taste of his own land."

In the end, I called both Perita and Calix to take him to the magic tower. Ruby was currently staying at her house. Though it was late at night, she still wanted to go back. So, I sent her back with three guards. Now that she was going to be the mistress of the magic tower, she needed protection. Anyone could try to harm her.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Me? Of course. Why are you asking?" Dem said.

"You had so much wine."

"It barely affects me. Alphas have a high alcohol tolerance," he said.

"Wow, so many privileges..."

"Yes, your husband is one of a kind," he said proudly. "You should never leave him."

"I won't. You know that."

"No, I don't know that. That's something you know because I can't read your mind."

"Dem... I won't leave you. I told you," I said and wrapped my arms around his waist.

He smiled and led me to our bedroom. "You know, Mother sent me a letter," he said after the maids left, closing the door.

"Then?" I asked, taking a seat on the couch.

"It was the same as usual."

"So, she still sends you letters. Why did you mention this one particularly?"

Mother had been sending Dem letters every single day. She asked about himself and sometimes about me as well in those letters. He sent very brief replies back, but not all the time. It seemed Dem genuinely hated her. He also had a reason. But it was sad that he felt that way towards his own mother.

"This time, she added something else," he said, taking a seat beside me and lighting his cigar. "She said she wants to go on a vacation somewhere after Luc's wedding. Apparently, she is going to join his wedding."

"Where?"

"Leonola Reef," he replied. "She has a mansion there. She said she will be staying there for a month or so."

Leonola Reef was an island. There was an old tribe residing there. But they were very welcoming. They had a good relationship with the Imperial Family. Dem's father, the former King, was the one who built a good relationship with them to make a deal with them. Most people of the tribe were great craftsmen.

They were the ones who made the weapons and armors of the Imperial Knights.

"It's actually a good place to visit if you are wishing to be sunburnt and have your ears bleed," Dem said and I chuckled. "I am not joking. It's really hot there. I have been there once and I felt like I was being fried alive. I had a headache even though I usually don't have it, no matter how tired I am. And the people there are very noisy.

It's not just because they make weapons and they need to make noise. They just love to sing and dance. They use those large drums and not just one or two, but many of them."

"You don't like that place," I said.

"I appreciate their abilities and I know that they are very important for us. But I don't like visiting that place. Mother is different though. She likes noisy things. She used to invite this one singer and his voice would make you want to run for your life."

"Pfft... Well, we all have different preferences. But I also don't like it when the atmosphere is too noisy," I said. "Anyway, I meant to ask you this- does smoking feel good?"

"It helps me relax. Not bad, I would say."

"Then I want to smoke too," I said enthusiastically. "Just once. Can I?"

"No," he declined firmly.

"Why not? You are doing it too..."

"It's not meant for you," he said. "It's not good for your health."

"Iris smoked once too. But I never did. Once won't hurt, right?"

"You can't smoke when you are my wife. It's bad for your health and I can't see it happening."

"But I will be your wife forever."

"Exactly."
