Xavier and Lyca are quiet as they walk... Nobody is willing to talk about what happened. But the thing between them that they don't see is too big.But what's more important is that Lyca is upset... She feels too ashamed to talk or even look at Xavier.(This is unbelievable! What am I doing wrong? Why do I agree, even though I know we can't go on!) I couldn't hold my signing because I was upset.Xavier, on the other hand, couldn't help but laugh out loud. He said, "Little princess, I didn't know you were a tease," and then he gave Lyca a hug.Snow laughed. "I am not! I forgot the date because of what happened with Jaxson and Wesley "She said this while trying to hide her blush.Xavier makes us laugh again. "—Fine! But this is the end... No matter what happens, I won't stop the next time! It doesn't matter to me if you have your period or if someone comes over!" He told her, and then he stole a kiss from her.Lyca was too stunned to say anything... She doesn't know why she agreed and a
Xavier POV."What's next? How can I catch an intruder who can't be seen?" I mutter to myself as I hide behind a tree and stare at the house.I thought there was something wrong with Wesley before, so I went into his mind. Still, Wesley's memory as a human is cloudy; it seems like something is blocking it, so I can't see his past. I check his wolf memory because of this... Wolves are hard to catch quickly, so I was able to watch what happened. And since I'm the alpha, I'm in charge of his wolf.I saw how Wesley's wolf caused trouble when he met a group of traders, but the big mystery is that I also saw that Wesley was in charge of everything."The worst thing you could do is try to sneak into my territory... Before I send you back to your evil master, I'll make sure you have a great time." I said with a smirk on my face when a shadow from before turned into a person. I sneak into the house and keep an eye on the person who broke in.Inside the house, the intruder is wearing a black dre
[Just a few hours before the Queen's clown got away from Xavier.]In The Chamber Underneath Greyfield's Kingdom..."... Xavier Nightingale, I didn't know you were such a perfect creature! I did the right thing by facing you." Queen Annabelle said this while smirking in a sneaky way. Her eyes were fixed on the magic crystal ball, which was shining and showing Xavier's face.Then she made a hand signal. A part of the crystal ball was taken away. Now, the scene in the cave is shown in the picture.———-Inside the cave where Wesley is being held, the other is watching him from inside his cage."Guys, there's no need to lock me up... I'm mad at Xavier because of what he did to my wolf and because he told us lies." Wesley argued while he held on to the railing and tried to get everyone to feel sorry for him. "...I'm sure you get what I'm saying, right? Even you feel like Xavier's secret is a betrayal! "he said with a smile.Adam sighed. He had been moving around for a while. "This is not so
Wesley was lying in the cage when Lyca opened the iron door. Lyca was shocked for a moment, but she didn't show it as she slowly moved closer to get a better look at Wesley. Since the man is facing the wrong way, it's hard for Lyca to check him. That's why she comes to the cage."... Wesley, are you awake? Can we talk?" Lyca asked, but she stayed away. Even though the guy is locked up, she can't relax. After all, Lyca is sure that Queen Annabelle and Prince Matthew are behind this whole thing.Wesley groaned in pain, but he didn't turn or move to see how Lyca was doing. The only thing he did was show off his bloody hand.When Lyca saw the blood, she stopped. "-What's wrong with you?" Her once-pink cheek goes white, and her eyes get bigger.(What am I to do? I don't know if Wesley's cut is serious enough to kill him. But I can't go into the cage because I know how dangerous it can be.) Lyca said this while she was trying to figure out what to do."Wesley, hang in there. I'll be back in
Wesley gets on his knees and looks at the picture of the woman he loves. "My love, I'll help you get Lyca, just like I promised," he says, his eyes twinkling.Then Wesley got up and went over to his love. "...Now, my queen, I can go home and live with you for the rest of our lives."Queen Annabelle gave Wesley a soft kiss on the face as she smiled seductively. "Of course, my sweetheart. With your skills, you can help me do a lot!" After he said this, Queen Annabelle grabbed Wesley's lips and gave him a passionate, deep kiss.Wesley wants Queen Annabelle right away, so he grabs her by the nape and pulls her close. He put his tongue into Queen Annabelle's mouth and looked for hers.Adam's group, on the other hand, gets to Xavier's house quickly. Because they all have something to say, their auras are all different.On the other hand, Kai stopped and looked back at the group. "...It's better to keep everything under control, right?" He said this while looking intently. He didn't like wha
"I, Xavier Nightingale, renounce Adam and Jace Smith in my pack... From now on, neither of you would have anything to do with me!""Is that it? Are you sure you can't control us anymore?" When Xavier was done talking, Adam didn't try to hide his doubt."Huh! No one is going to attack us after all...!" Jace answered back and snorted while he checked himself out. Before they made their decision, it made his heart beat faster. Now that it's over and he doesn't feel any different, his breathing is back to normal."It's easy, right?" Xavier said this and then checked the time on his wrist. He said with a smirk, "If I were you, I'd go to the cave and lock myself in."Adam and Jace's smiles slowly went away and were replaced by looks of surprise."Why do we have to shut ourselves in?""Don't listen to him, Jace... He's just making a show!"Xavier sneered. "—You don't have much time left. But now the range will begin..."Adam's scowl stayed the same."—I don't believe you! "Renouncing does no
Wesley was quiet as Adam and "Queen Annabelle" talked while they walked. The second one acts nice and trustworthy, so Adam believes everything she says right away.He thought that Lyca was a curse that he had to get rid of. "Did Xavier know what was wrong with Lyca?" Adam asked, but he didn't say anything else because he didn't want his friends to be scared.In the chamber, the real Queen Annabelle can see what is going on with Adam through the crystal ball. She should have been worried, but instead she sneered. "...A beast without a chain around its neck is easier to tame than one with a chain around its neck..."Queen Annabelle walked to her table thinking about this."Hmm... I'm sure I can find a spell to use.""Knock! Knock! Knock!" Then the door to the hidden room opened, and Albert walked out."We need Your Majesty in the hall... The Kingdom of Nightingale has come and wants to talk to you, "Albert said with his head bowed.The beautiful face of Queen Annabelle had a few wrinkle
Xavier POV.Because there wasn't enough air, Jace's wolf passed out, so he changed back into a human. I said, "I don't have time for you," and carried Jace into the house and my room. Kai, Jaxson, and Kayden were sitting quietly on the bed with their eyes on the trunk when I came in."I can't believe Adam would leave his brother!" Kai called out. They didn't leave the room, but they could hear what was going on outside."I'm sorry, Xavier if I join them sooner..." Kayden, who is sitting quietly off to the side, has his head bowed because he feels bad about what he did."I told you from the start what could happen if I made you like me. And the advice about keeping your wolf under control isn't for me; it's for all of you." After I got Jace off the bed, I told him.Kayden signed the contract and bowed again in shame... From the beginning, Xavier was always nice to everyone. That's why he felt bad that he had bad thoughts about the man who saved him."Let's not think about what happened
Lyca moved quickly and attacked her attacker right away by flaring out her elbows. But it was easy to block her attack. Then, Lyca's hands are turned behind her back as she is pushed against the wall. "Shhh..." When Princess Lyca saw who was trying to choke her, she stopped trying to get away. It was Xavier, and she quickly turned around to make sure he wasn't just thinking about something else. "How did you-" But Lyca couldn't keep talking because Xavier covered her mound, pulled her to the edge, and hid behind a thick curtain. When she saw that he wanted her to be quiet, she frowned and looked around the room. She can't see anyone but herself and Xavier, which is why she doesn't understand how he acts. Xavier hissed in Lyca's ears, "Someone is coming." Not long after that, the chamber's door opened. Albert came out of there. Lyca covered her horse, which was still covered by Xavier's hand because she didn't want to make a sound. And the reason she is shocked is that Albert has
As Prince Matthew's troupe marched through the village, everyone was happy. In contrast, the second person is riding his horse with purpose and is looking straight ahead. Xavier and Kai, on the other hand, were behind Matthew, but they were not riding like the prince. Instead, they were walking. "Tell the rest of Knight to wait for the sign..." Xavier spoke quietly. The most important thing is to save Lyca, and the other knights will make sure the path is safe. Kai nodded. "Don't worry, Jaxson is in charge of the knights. He makes sure the path is safe..." After signing, Xavier looked at Matthew. Even though he knew the prince would keep his promise, he couldn't stop worrying. Because Lyca's safety is at stake here... ——— Everyone in the castle, especially Lyca, is busy getting ready to welcome the troops. One of Lyca's servants said, "Princess, everything is ready, so it's time for you to take care of yourself." Lyca gave a smile and a nod. "I'm not going to the party, so the
Lyca POV.As my body falls to the floor, I catch my breath. "I was almost seen by Albert! What does he plan to do next?" I couldn't believe what I heard.Then I got up and went to bed, where I laid down. I went back to the time when I was able to get away from Wesley.I got to see how the place for the ritual was set up, and I also saw Albert. "I don't know what's wrong with him, but something is..." I say when I see Albert's face in my mind. He is in a lot of pain as he twists and turns on the ground.I wanted to get closer to see what was going on, but Albert could tell I was there, so I had to leave."Well, if Albert is sick, I'll be happy..." I mumble, and then I go to bed.———I got up early the next day. Since the Queen has told me to put together a welcome party, I have no choice but to do so.The Queen told me to make all the decisions, so I chose to hold the banquet in the central tower of the kingdom, which was close to her bedroom."Are you sure about this, Princess?" Someo
Lyca takes this chance to ask the old woman in the cage what the queen's secret is. She learned almost everything in exchange for food and drink."You mean the queen gives up her heart so she can be in charge? Can that even happen?" Lyca says this in fear.The woman replied, "You should know by now that nothing is impossible in the world we live in."(She's correct... It shouldn't surprise me because I've been having a lot of phenomenal things happen to me in the last few weeks.)"Do you know where her heart is, then? Since that is the Queen's weakness, I'm sure she is hiding it..." Lyca answered as she moved back and forth.The woman gave a half-smile. "I've been a prisoner for ten years, so how would I know?"Lyca frowned, but she didn't push her point. She has known for a few days what the woman thinks.After talking to the woman for a few minutes, Lyca will leave, but before she does, she will quietly check on Adam. So far, the guy hasn't been willing to talk, so she has no choice
"So you think I'm a monster? Who, out of the two of us, is torturing the people? Blood on my hand is nothing compared to the blood that has been spilled because of you."Before Matthew and King Alexander move forward, they look at each other."I did not make my people suffer! I did everything I did for them." The strong arguments of King Matthew."The people should serve the king, not the other way around!" Xavier came out of the dark and looked at the king with deep thought. The king's earlier comments about him and his father have left him speechless.Matthew put the sword in front of Xavier's face. "How dare you go into the king's room without being invited! Do you want to die?!"Matthew hasn't felt scared of Xavier since the first time he saw him. But this was the opposite of how the king felt about it. He looked frightened right away, and the hands that held the sword shook."How did you get into the castle without being seen?!" The king's words were hard to understand.Matthew w
In the castle of Nightingale, many bodies were lying and bleeding. However, only a few died because Xavier made every effort to keep casualties to a minimum in this battle. "The other soldiers who gave up have been taken into custody..." Kai informed Xavier. The second one is in the king's room, looking at the records. "Good," Xavier said with a frown. "Take care of their wounds and meet all their needs." He was reading a list of the taxes that the people had to pay. "What do you plan to do with the kingdom now that you've taken it back?" "Only the castle can be taken back. If I want to take back the throne, I need the soldiers and the people to back me up..." "Can that happen? They have never met you..." "Well, that's why I'm going to tell them who I am. I'll give them what they've asked for for a long time..." Kai doesn't ask about Xavier's plan because he is more intelligent than most people. He has no choice but to do what he says. The soldiers who stayed loyal to Xavier w
"I nearly forgot about him!" Lyca mumble. She didn't go away. Instead, she turned around and decided to find out who the wolf in the castle was. So Lyca walked down the path toward where she heard the voice. But the longer Lyca walks, the more she knows the person in front of her. "What's happening? This castle has a wolf... Is he one of Xavier's followers?" Then, a few minutes later, she got an answer to her question. Adam was in the room that was the farthest away. His arms and feet were both chained. Lyca can tell by how he looks that he has been hurting for a few days. "Adam! Adam! Wake up! What's wrong with you?" Lyca asked as she got close to the man, who was now half asleep. Adam only groaned because he was tired. He didn't even open his eyes. Since he went bad, his wolf has become wild and restless. And it makes Adam lose his strength. "Adam, it's me, Lyca... What brought you here?" Lyca asked and looked at the chain that was around Adam's neck. Adam took a deep breath a
Lyca carefully left the room, and before she ran, she looked to her left and side. "I only have an hour, or else the woman won't talk," she said under her breath as she hurried down the hall to the royal kitchen. Lucky for Lyca, she didn't meet one of Albert and Wesley's friends. If she had, she would have a hard time explaining, or even worse; they wouldn't believe her no matter what she said. One of the staff in the royal kitchen bowed and asked, "Your Grace, what are you doing here?" "I've come to ask for food... I wanted to make my late father an offer. Can you give me a hand?" Lyca asked in a quiet voice. Even though she was shocked, the servant nodded. "Your Grace, do you want an offering every week?" Lyca looked at the kitchen and asked. "I wanted to make a meal fit for a king... I don't think I need to say more about my wish..." "Of course, your grace..." "You have only an hour to get everything ready..." Lyca turned around and sat down at the long table after she said t
Lyca's point of view. "What exactly is going on? Who conquered Nightingale's kingdom?" I inquired as I carefully walked towards the chamber where the queen had murdered my father. "If Serus falls, Queen Annabelle will not stand by and watch... She'll make her move, and that'll be my opportunity." I said it, but deep down, I couldn't stop being grateful for what had happened. Then I arrived at the chamber where the worst event in my life occurred. I couldn't stop my hands from shaking while holding back tears as I opened the door. I feel like I've been transported back to the night the queen murdered my father right in front of me. When I pushed the door, it grunted. The room was dusty, and cobwebs clung to every nook and cranny. Clearly, no one was using it. My attention was then drawn to my father's bed. I couldn't stop my tears from falling as I approached the bed. "Father... I miss you..." I sobbed as I rubbed the mattress. I couldn't mourn my father's death because everythi
