"Salute!"
We saluted the coffin of Morris Highgate one more time before he was brought to the carriage. I remained standing at my ground until the carriage was out of my sight.
"As expected..." I glanced at General Cairo who was already beside me. "You are right, Your Majesty. He really courted for his death," he added. "Literally."
I felt General Benedict's presence on the other side of me. "However, he did not meet the damage percentage we were looking forward to having. 10% out of 30 is not a trifling matter."
"It didn't create huge importance to us. We lost half of his troops due to his carelessness," General Cairo said.
I sighed and agreed with them. "It is a lesson to learn for the other commanders not to do what Highga
"Your Majesty! Commander Cornelius has arrived!"I immediately stormed out of my tent and came to see one of my commanders who was suddenly marked as MIA or short for missing in action after they managed to enter the den of Magnius Lothim's hideout. He was MIA for more than a week already.I almost cried upon seeing one of my commanders from Eagle Mist who I thought died on the battlefield already. But he managed to mind link me that he was in the Ursupol, a nearby town not so far away from Auritaurie.I got teary-eyed when Cornelius saluted me, who was in perfect condition. "Your Majesty, just as I promise. Commander Cornelius Haynes has arrived."I turned at my other battle commanders of Eagle Mist who fe
I arrived at the camp full of bloodshed on my military uniform and in my face. I didn't mind it as I approached Claude who was sitting comfortably at the war table eyeing the tactical map. I suddenly felt scared now that he was here.Unexpectedly.I didn't expect that he would come here after almost three months that I hadn't seen him. But I knew that something was going on.Especially now that Cherish was freed by Claude himself.It means, he already knew..."Hmm... So, this is the latest progress of the war that I am not aware of," Claude said meaningfully as he had one of the pawns before he smirked. "I am truly disheartened that not one of my intel returned
I slowly peeled my eyes open when I heard a soft humming. When I woke up, I came to see Claude swaying our little pup."Claude..." I meekly called his name."Rachelle!" He gasped as soon as he saw me. He immediately approached me and placed our baby pup beside me before he helped me to get up. "Here, love..." He helped me to drink a glass of water."Thank you..." I said after drinking some water. I didn't waste my time laying my eyes on our son. I couldn't help getting teary-eyed as I took him in my arms. "Cloudy..." I uttered my son's nickname."Gilbert said that as soon as you wake up, you need to feed our son."I nodded. "Yes... I know." I didn't hesitate to pull down my nightgown and showed my nipple to my hungry little boy. I softened when Cloudy latched on it. I kissed his forehead. "My little Cloudy..." My voice croaked in happiness seeing the pup that I bore
The royal seals... Only two royal seals existed which were to be given to the reigning monarch. An Alpha King and a Luna Queen of a royal werewolf kingdom were each granted a royal seal stamp. The royal seals had a head of a wolf and a crown on top of it. But there were differences between them. The Alpha King seal had a sun engraved on the forehead of the head of the wolf which means the one who is leading the external affairs and monarch while the Luna Queen seal had a crescent moon engraved on the forehead which means the one who is leading the internal affairs and the mate of the Alpha King. External affairs were the duties need to be settled by the Alpha King by attending meetings with political and economical reasons with the court officials while internal affairs were the duties of the Luna Queen by auditing the account books, hosting parties or events in the pal
As soon as I was done taking a bath and eating my meal alone, Claude returned to my tent holding our sleeping son in his arms as he returned Cloudy to his cradle. I ignored him as I continued reading some books that were all about the war that came from the point of view of different historians back in the past."It's useless to read it. You are not going to war, Rachelle," he said coldly.I scoffed. "Reading them doesn't mean I am going to the war, Claude. I am adding more knowledge about how the military tacticians resolved everything back then." Sighing, I closed the book, losing my interest to read it. "When shall we depart?" I looked at him coldly.He leaned to my desk and touched one of the books I was reading. "Later this morning. I already have the knights pack your things," he said, not looking at me but to the book. "Say farewell to the brigade you have been wanting to lead, love. You will not be a
"Claude!" I rushed towards him when he was screaming from pain."Don't come!" He summoned his hand to halt me. "Just calm our son, Rachelle. I am fine."I felt myself tremble and nodded as I looked down at Cloudy who was troubled at my horrifying scream. "Hush, my little prince... Hush now..." I gently tapped his side to calm him down. Then I turned to Cornelius. "Cornelius, eliminate them!" I ordered as soon as he rushed beside me.He shook his head. "I can't, Your Majesty. We are being surrounded. They all held bows and arrows coated with wolfsbane... And looks like they really threw it at Alpha King Claudian..." I turned at Claude who was still suffering from the burning sensation from the chemical.I sniffed it. I smelled the scent of wolfsbane. However, I smelled that there was another added ingredient. It felt like it made the wolfsbane a more potent chemical than before.
Claude"Rachelle! No! Don't take her!" I immediately peeled my eyes open as I got up when I realized I was in a tent right now. Panicking, I was about to stand up when I groaned in pain upon feeling the half of my face being throbbed in pain. "Damn it!" I cussed when I realized that half of my face was covered with bandages."Brother!"I looked up and saw Cherish entering the tent. Her eyes were filled with tears as she rushed to me to hug me. "Cherish..." I called her softly as she sobbed. "I am alright now... But Rachelle... Rachelle is not here. She has been kidnapped..." I said through gritted teeth. Sniffing, Cherish looked at me. I wiped her tears, feeling sorry for my youngest sister that I made her worry. She even glanced at the bandage covering half of my face. I caressed her hair. "I am fine.""For me, you are not..." She sobbed. "Silver told me what happened earlier. It was my
ClaudeI rested in the military camp for a few days before I disembarked to return to the palace, still having an injury. I have summoned all the best palace doctors and even from the pack doctors from the other packs to heal me. But to no avail, no one could concoct an antidote that could heal me.While I was staying there, I realized something.This was the fault of Commander Cornelius. If only he reported to me, this wouldn't have happened and Rachelle would be kidnapped. If only he should have reported first, Rachelle would have stayed in the palace until she had given it to our first pup.Damn it..."Your Majesty, how is it?"I took the newly concocted antidote and drank it before I waited for a moment. I looked at the palace doctors that were surrounding me. Then I shook my head."I can't feel that I am healing..." I wa
