From Substitute To Queen 소설 & 이야기

’ I shrugged. I knelt before my mother and clasped her frail hands on mine. “I understand you are upset. But I want to make one thing crystal clear.” My mother narrowed her gaze at me. “Annette will be my Queen. If you continue to behave like this towards her and say anything ill about your QUEEN, you will be banished from the Kingdom. Do I make myself clear?” My mother’s face paled before she let out a gasp and ripped her hands from my grasp.

I held his eyes as I walked down to him. I curtsied before him and he stood up and took my hands. He helped me to my throne beside his. The crowd stood up and everybody began to mingle. "You look breathtaking" I blushed at him. "You don't look bad yourself" A small group of people came up to us and bowed. "I'm Galen, sub alpha of the south. We pledge our allegiance to King Alcius and Queen Esmeralda" "Rise" I smiled at them and they left. The next group came and bowed.

“If you want a queen, you have one.” Hearts hitched. Knees debated. “But here’s what a queen is here. I cook. I cut. I bury. I bleed. I don’t mint oaths I keep promises. I don’t own your throats or hold your knees. If I say kneel, say no. If I ask and you say yes, make it expensive.” Laughter wet, unbelieving, new. “If I fail, don’t write it in a book. Come to my door with bread or blades.

Him? “Not ‘king,’” Anton breathed. The pieces snapped together with awful, perfect symmetry. Marcus’s obsession, his endless, pathetic game. “He didn’t see himself as the king. He was the other piece. The one that moves in straight lines, that attacks from the side. The one that can become anything if it reaches the end.” He stepped up to the panel, his voice clear and steady, speaking directly into the microphone. “The key is ‘Queen.’” For a second, nothing. The countdown reached 00:00:07.

The sage walks up to her and puts his hand on her head, she takes a small bow out of respect and smiles at him, "Are you the one crowning me?" Her voice is dipped in sarcasm and she could see the discontent in his eyes, "Yes, unfortunately I am." He couldn't even stand looking at her, "it is on a joyous occasion that we are going to have a new ruler. We are here to crown the daughter of King Magnus, Ar—" "Excuse me sage, I am the daughter of Queen Octavia and not King Magnus, please say that again and do it right." Her correction earned snickers from her subjects, the sage is highly humiliated but he keeps it together,

The Queen’s eyes again go red, but this time they seem to burn brightly. “There is no one. Get the hell out of here,” the Queen screams. “My Queen,” The king pats her hand. “He is talking about Quinn.” “Quinn will never be a queen. She is trash. A salve,” the queen is screaming. “Sire, please let me meet this Quinn,” I ignore the queen’s tantrum. “If you let her meet him, I will leave you,” The queen sneers. “Make him forget. Turn him away.”

A week later, everything returns to normal, where Nate does his business and gives all his time to his company, and Beatrice slowly tries things that might keep her busy so that she can't remember the pain from Quiver's death. As Beatrice is Quiver's Luna, she replaced him as the new Alpha of the Vougch clan, which the Beta already announced to all Vougch Clan members about the new Alpha.

She waited, her breath ceasing as she waited, hoping that the Queen might order Lycidas to pick a mate from the crowd, and obviously there was no maiden who could be compared to her beauty in the pack, which meant that she would inevitably stand out, especially since she also had an edge over them of being the alpha’s only daughter. The Queen waited for Lycidas' reply but when she got but his indifferent silence and his impassive attitude, she continued, slightly getting irritated with him, "I, as the one true Queen of the realm, thereby give to you to mate my humble servant, Theresa." She gestured a hand towards the direction of a hooded figure who had not spoken a word since their arrival.

He agreed. They stood there like a newlywed couple. I looked away after only a glance. The bond was about to be severed. What was left to see? I took my provisions and turned to leave. But just outside the gates, I was surrounded by a group of common women from the pack. Their faces were strangers to me. “Well. Isn’t this the Luna Queen?” A plump woman smiled first. “What Luna! Haven’t you heard? The King has discarded her. The real one has returned!”
