View MoreWhen Asteria wake up, she was a little disoriented. Yawning and rubbing her eyes as if she just had a great sleep, Asteria began to scan her surroundings.
It was a bit blurry, and in her imagination, she thought that she saw a wolf. Letting out a few chuckles, Asteria rubbed her eyes again as her sight became clearer.However, the sight of a huge wolf sleeping on the ground below a tree was still there. Then, it dawned at her that Asteria wasn't dreaming about the wolf. She rubbed her eyes again this time more furiously, yet the wolf was still there."Dam, what's this big guy doing here?" She narrowed her eyes. As the realization hit her, Asteria was confused for a moment. It seemed that the one who should be asking what she was doing here was the wolf, as she even felt lost of where she was."What's this place?" Asteria murmured, looking rather gloomy. She glanced at the wolf and began to think. It looked like she was sent here by someone. But, where she was now? And that huge wolf which was two meters tall, she had never seen an animal this big.But, Asteria also didn't want to seek death although she was curious about its strength. She would be no different than a defenseless rabbit in front of this wolf.Her feet were trembling slightly as she tried to stand up, though she forced herself to hold on. She didn't know what reaction this wolf would have if it found out that she was here. She didn't want to be eaten for sure.Trudging along the uneven ground, Asteria pushed her weak body forward. She didn't know what happened to the body beforehand. It was uncomfortable as she couldn't get used to it. She was an athlete of weight lifting after all.There was only a small sound of a small body being dragged away through the grassy path. Aster heaved a small sigh of relief as she noticed that her distance and the wolf had grown in quite an amount.However, as soon as the crisp sound of something breaking created noises around the area, Asteria fell into a state of shock. She had never expected that the small fiery red flower she had just stepped on had such a reaction.Asteria was about to run in another direction and save herself as soon as she saw the incoming explosion. A loud growl that seemed to made turned silent to everything finally appeared.The loud growl full of majesty and power resounded through the entire region that the ground around her began to shake slightly. Asteria backed away, vaguely inside the fog she could see that it was the wolf from earlier.As the dust dispersed, the huge body of the wolf was revealed. Asteria was so stunned that she froze in place. After all, this was the first time that she has seen a wolf this huge.The wolf began to walk towards her, making Asteria felt rather confused. Yet, at the same time, she realized that this wolf must've taken a liking to the flesh in her body. It must be hungry.Asteria backed away as the wolf kept on advancing towards her, taking huge strides that in no time it had arrived in a small distance in front of her.As she prepared to run, Asteria gradually noticed the strangeness of this wolf. Instead of attacking her, its eyes showed confusion. To her surprise, the wolf unexpectedly obediently laid down beside her, looking at her with a docile gaze.Stunned, she gazed at the wolf in wonder. "Eh, you are quite a smart one. What are you doing here?"The wolf who already had its eyes closed as it laid a few meters away suddenly opened its eyes, almost making Asteria felt startled. After all, this is her first time handling a possible feral animal like this.It gazed at Asteria with a neutral face, neither it was happy nor annoying. Asteria didn't know what she should do right now. So, she just stared at the wolf curiously. If the wolf had no intention of attacking her, why did it changed its sleeping place then?However, this time the wolf seemed to not have any intention to go back to sleep. It continued to gaze at Asteria, which was making her felt rather uncomfortable. The wolf looked at her for a long time before it did something that made Asteria alarmed.She looked at the paw that was high above as if preparing to scratch her face. Asteria dodged to the side, though she failed. The impact was rather great as the paw slammed into her, making her overcame with dizziness.The wolf paw touched Asteria's body, almost crushing her while running away. She winced slightly, however, she was lucky that the wolf didn't have any intention to kill her. Otherwise, she would've been turned into meat pasted by now.As the crushing force weighed down her body, it suddenly triggered the memory that she didn't directly remember the moment she woke up earlier. Asteria endured the pain as the realization of her current situation came to her.The wold didn't directly retract its paws, but only inspecting Asteria as if it was thinking about something. All of a sudden, the wolf lifted its paw from Asteria's body that had already bent slightly, making her sigh in relief. If the wolf had added any more pressure, she wouldn't be able to bear it.Asteria looked at the wolf with a complicated gaze. Turn out that this wolf, not only big but also have such monstrous strength. So, Asteria thought better that she shouldn't provoke this wolf too much right now.What she desperately needed was to search for a way to go back. The last time she remembered wasn't a pleasant memory.Thought what she couldn't accept what was that woman did to her. Now, she landed in this unlucky predicament and have to search for the way when she realized that, as she scanned the surroundings, she didn't find any cliff at all..."Did they bully you?" Asher asked, glancing briefly at the pair of brothers, Nox and Josh, who jolted as soon as Asher's gaze landed on them.Josh and Nox looked at Asteria hopefully, as if she was the savior of both of them. However, Asteria threw them a mischievous glance, causing the two's hearts to almost sink and melt into the ground."No," Asteria said.Asher smiled, said nothing. The pair of brothers who were about to sigh in relief upon hearing Asteria's answer could felt their hearts tightened again, discovering that there was something wrong with the atmosphere."I can ask them to perform some moves right?" Asteria asked Asher mysteriously. "I wonder how their ability compares to Elias right now."
Selena seemed to have known about Asher's confession to Asteria, perhaps Elias did too. There was some hint of teasing in her eyes whenever she spoke about him.Josh and Nox naturally weren't fools. They caught the meaning behind Selena's words, which also can be served as an indirect warning. The two were the ones who suffered the most here. After they received the news, they felt as if they'd been struck by a lightning. It made sense why Asher was so furious and punished them badly.The two brothers had explained everything to Asteria as to make her believe in them."No, it's not like that." Nox hurriedly explained, shaking his head. "Actually, it's not that we were deliberately holding back, but we are weak at the moment. Our power will slowly recover, along with the control over the wolf form."
Asher had confessed everything before Asteria. Naturally, this would affect how he act in front of her. Now, he no longer restrained himself and had even gotten more attentive to her.Asteria didn't reject him, or she could say that she couldn't. There was always some guilt in her heart, yet she was unable to extricate herself from this comfort."Alright then, take care of yourself," Asher said after Asteria told her plan to go to the count's mansion. His face showed a bit reluctant to part, which was rather cute.Asteria giggled and strolled away, climbing the stairs to prepare herself. It was true that she had been enjoying herself for the past few days. However, she also didn't forget to once a while thought about other problems when her mind was clear.
It was dark, with the only moonlight shining down through the gaps in the windows. Asteria wasn't fond of the dark. She lit the lamp, instantly the sight of the room entered her eyes.She threw herself on the bed, careful not to squash her right arm in the process. The left hand reached for the pillow, hugging it to her body while sighing."Lady Asteria, the dinner has been prepared." A maid informed her, followed by the knocking on the door.Asteria, who had just laid down her body and closed her eyes, frowning. She groaned, feeling tired. Opening her eyes, she told the maid in loud voice. "Coming."Changing into the new clothes, a leathered knight outfit, Asteria came out of the room and descended the stairs. Asher had been waiting in the dining hal
Asteria swung her sword forward, successfully slashing the targeted falling leaves, cutting them into two. She inhaled, stabbing and slashing while testing her agility.She had improved quite a lot since the incident where she nearly had gotten killed. After a few days of venting the bottled up frustration by practicing her swordsmanship in Asher's place, she finally regained her calm.Wiping the sweat, Asteria sat down and took large gulps of water. While she fanned herself, her mind wandered.Asteria wasn't sure whether Asher knew or not, but she had actually caught a glimpse of familiar figures among the prisoners besides the so-called princess Adrina.It was Nox and Josh. Their wolf form wasn't that eye-catching, however, she still remembered the
"Enough," Asher stated, not wanting to play along with any longer. "If you still have some dissatisfaction. Just report it to His Majesty."The two guards jolted, maintaining the respectful and fearful expression as Asher and the rest walked away. Their figures disappearing as the door to the next room slammed close.The guards exchanged glances. They were just guards, how could they have the privilege of reporting straight to His Majesty? However, the princess was another problem now. They didn't know what she had done to land herself in this predicament. Judging how Asher didn't even spare her another glance, they seemed not to be on good terms.Currently, that stunning face of Princess Adrina was filled with fury. Glaring at the two guards, making the two hurriedly walked away. When no one was there anymor
Asher brought Asteria out of the room, realizing that the girl had been trembling slightly. She didn't have her sword to defend herself. Even if her body condition had improved somehow, it was still nothing in front of a half-transformed werewolf. Strengthening the body needed a lot of time and patient effort.That blow from that man had blasted the metal bars apart. The room wasn't created like the ones for werewolves, which contained a lot of traps and restraining force toward their bloodline.Annie's body was smashed to a wall due to the shockwave. She was currently unconscious. Thanks to Selena's persuasion that the guard finally allowed them to bring a doctor in."There's no benefit in curing the prisoner who was about to die." Elias shook his head as he explained to Asteria. "If not for us bringing our
Asteria was startled by Selena's straightforward question. She wasn't asking about whether it was true that she had poisoned Bryan, Viscount Raphael's son. The question implied that Selena had already known Annie was the one committing the crime.A complicated mood surged in Asteria's heart. Looking at the previously sweet Annie reduced into such an indifferent state. A moment of silence enveloped the whole room."You already know." A low, raspy voice answered. When Annie looked up, her apathetic eyes gazed straight ahead. The outline of her body had gotten thinner from the last time Asteria met her. It was three weeks ago."You'll be dead," Selena said rather harshly, glaring at Annie. However, there was no malice in those words. Annie's punishment could only be one indeed; execution.
"Do you want to visit her?" Asher suddenly said."Can I?" Asteria asked him with a hopeful look. She wanted to get to the bottom of this."Let's go then." Asher suddenly stopped. "Prepare yourself first."Asteria understood what he meant and hurriedly changed into one of the comfortable dress Selena had brought during her visit. As someone who was slightly tomboy, Asteria prefer the comfortable dress more than the fancy, heavily decorated one. Selena knew better about this.The long-sleeved dress went past her waist, but she combined it with long black trousers. The current style made her look like a modern girl."Let's go." Asteria urged.
