**Elizabeth's POV***I closed my eyes in despair as I saw the men throwing the torches they held toward my feet.A tear crossed my cheek.But soon, there were countless raindrops falling on my face and head, so many that I knew clearly that they could not be my tears.I opened my eyes and saw a large dark cloud gathering over my head. Countless drops of rain fell from the dark clouds and doused the flames at my feet.It was...so bizarre. It seemed to be raining only above me, while everywhere else was clear.Was the moon goddess helping me?"You can't burn her!"A familiar voice came from far to near. Everyone looked over in the direction the voice came from, including me.A magnificent golden vehicle slowly drove into the crowd.Who is the coming person? Was the appearance of the rain that saved my life a coincidence, or was it related to the person sitting in the vehicle?The door of the vehicle opened, and a hand holding a scepter appeared in the view of all.On top of the scepter

**Elizabeth's POV***"You mean they gave birth to babies covered in fire again? Or that babies covered in fire tore open their bellies and crawled out?" The more I thought about it, the more terrified I felt, and I couldn't help but reach up and touch my stomach.If the curse is true, will my child be born in such a way?"You guessed it right. And any abortifacient drugs won't work on those fetuses. Moreover, something even worse has happened, making the residents of the valley determined that they must kill these monsters covered in fire.""What happened...?""Those flame-covered babies escaped after they were born, and no one knew where they went. But, about a hundred years ago, they reappeared. And. They grew up.""They became big, grown-up, flame-covered monsters. They used to come into the town to kill and rob some young girls. They became a nightmare for everyone.""Holy crap," I covered my mouth. Now I understood why they were so scared. The carnage that could happen at any mo

**Elizabeth's POV***The door opened, and a dozen servants came in carrying a huge bed."Why are they..." I was surprised."The king and queen should be sleeping in the same room." Julian gave me a hint with his eyes. I immediately shut my mouth.Seeing the servants remove the king's old bed and replace it with a new one, my heart began to beat faster.Did this mean that I would have to sleep with Julian in the same bed in the future?I didn't mind sleeping with him in the cave because I thought he was just a young boy unconscious from his injuries. But now that I know he's an adult...It was so awkward."Don't put on a reluctant face. I'm quite well-behaved when I sleep. I don't snore, grind my teeth, sleepwalk, talk in my sleep, and I definitely won't touch you or your belly.""I won't either," I said.Thankfully, the bed was big enough that we slept in the same bed without touching each other's hands or feet at all. We had a quiet night.The days went by.My belly got bigger, whil

**Julian's POV***Elizabeth looked up at me after a while, "I didn't think you'd want to leave the valley that much. I thought you'd like to stay here...""Why would you think that?""No offense, you are the king of all in the valley. You have the respect of everyone. But you lose everything you have once you leave the valley. I thought you would prefer to stay here. After all, the outside world is dangerous.""No, I don't enjoy staying here, I hate the forbidden valley more than anyone else." I sneered, with hate oozing out of my eyes.I have never told anyone how much I hate the valley. Because I am the king here. I had to be peaceful in order to appease all the inhabitants of the valley.But I couldn't control my desire to talk in front of Elizabeth at that moment."Elizabeth, I'll tell you a secret. You have to forget it after you hear it. We announced to the public that my parents had died of illness. But in fact, they committed suicide because they couldn't stand living at the

**Elizabeth's POV** * "The King's Scepter is a treasure given to me by my father. It gives us special powers. It is for this reason that those inhabitants obey and fear us. This is the most important secret of our royal family. I will not tell anyone the secret of your golden feather, and you must not tell the secret of the King's Scepter." I was impressed. Julian traded secrets with me, which meant he trusted me totally, "Okay, deal." I think I didn't just find an ally tonight, I found a friend. "You haven't told me what the experience of owning a wolf is like? Can you talk to your wolf?" "Well, owning a wolf is like finding the other half of your soul. I feel strong and powerful. It will communicate with me in my mind, like the closest friend. But sometimes I think it is like a troublesome and naughty child. " "Why do you say that?" "It retains the nature of a beast. It is easily impulsive and out of control. It does not tend to be sensible, but wild. It will prompt me to mak
