Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 226: Arielle And Ronan

Arielle nodded. She said, "Sasha helped me really well. The boy never got tired of playing in the sun. And this afternoon, he swam almost all day in this lake."

"Sounds fun," the man’s heart envied that Sasha could spend the whole day with Arielle.

"I wouldn’t comment if Sasha did a good job."

"Sasha is still a child. I want him to have a good time in the South. I can protect myself well."

Ronan nodded in understanding. He grabbed the ends of Arielle’s dangling hair and played it with his index finger.

"I will pick you up... immediately."

Arielle remembered what her brother, Archie, had said about her father accepting the proposal of another man named Duke Pellington for her.

"Ronan. Do... you know about a man called Duke Pellington?" asked Arielle quietly. She hesitated to ask Ronan this, but she wanted him to know about her family.

Arielle didn’t know much about royal politics, but accepting two proposals for a princess was not a good move.

"Ah... you’ve heard of Duke Pellington, haven’t you?"

"Y-you already knew?"

Ronan nodded. "Duke Pellington is a Duke who lives in a suburb of Nieverdell, which is directly adjacent to the Neutral land and Northendell. The man owns a diamond mine. But you don’t have to worry about that, Arielle... whatever happens, in ten days, I’ll pick you up, and you can return to Northendell."

"I was worried that something bad would happen. I just want to return home to Northendell in peace."

Ronan smiled broadly when Arielle said the word return home to Northendell. Inside, he felt very proud and happy that the girl had considered Northendell as her home.

The man got up and sat in front of Arielle with a big smile. Arielle, who didn’t understand why Ronan looked so happy, just furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"You want to go home? To Northendell?"

Arielle still didn’t understand, but she just nodded in approval. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Really? Home? That means you have considered Northendell your true home, right?"

Once again, Arielle nodded. The man nodded enthusiastically and hugged Arielle tightly. "You don’t have to worry! No matter what happens, you will return home to Northendell!"

Ah... Arielle understood now. The girl returned Ronan’s hug by wrapping her arms around the man’s neck. Ronan was happy because Arielle had considered Northendell as her home. That meant Arielle would not only return to the North because she married him.

Arielle had found comfort and a new family in the North.

The girl nodded once again. "Hmm! Go back to our home!" she answered firmly.

Ronan tightened his arms. He took a deep breath of Arielle’s scent to calm himself. This was a great relief and after this, he could be sure Ronan would be even more excited to go through the day.

The man kissed Arielle’s neck gently, making the girl tighten her embrace.

When Arielle closed her eyes, she imagined the figure of a very beautiful woman playing the flute in the middle of the forest. Then a few moments later, a wolf with thick black fur came over to her and rested its head on the woman’s lap.

Arielle blinked a few times in confusion.

"Who was that?" murmured the girl.

"Hmm? Who?" asked Ronan.

Arielle looked at Ronan closely, then shook her head slowly.

"Nothing," she answered simply.

It felt so weird. It felt like she had seen it happen somewhere, but Arielle didn’t really remember what happened. Other than that, it almost felt like deja vu.

The woman clearly had a different face, but why did it feel like Arielle had done it, and with the black wolf, too? At first glance, that black wolf seemed like Ronan’s wolf form, with the same eye color but not as scarred as Ronan’s.

The girl shook her head slowly to erase the reverie earlier. Maybe it was just a hallucination. She didn’t know any woman with hair like that.

"You’re going back to the North tonight as well?" asked Arielle, trying to get the man’s attention off her neck.

Ronan nodded briefly and kissed Arielle’s neck again gently.

"Don’t you want to spend the night here first? Me, Sasha, and Tania will go back tomorrow morning."

"I want to spend time with you, but I should immediately finish all the business so I can immediately bring you back to OUR home."

Arielle chuckled as Ronan emphasized ’our’ word. The girl cupped Ronan’s face and kissed him gently.

"Thank you for coming to see me. Your presence really makes everything better."

Ronan stroked Arielle’s face. "Better? Has something happened?"

Arielle just smirked. She stood up and untied her corset. Ronan swallowed his saliva as the sleeve of the girl’s dress slipped off her shoulders.

"I thought you didn’t like doing it out in the open. I’ve been trying to be a good boy and endure it all this time."

Arielle covered her mouth to hold back a laugh.

"Do what? I just want to soak in the water for a while. All day today, I’ve only seen Tania and Sasha playing in the water and haven’t dived in myself at all."

Arielle’s heart was beating very fast. She wasn’t used to the man’s sharp gaze. Her hands hesitated and trembled slightly when she found Ronan staring at her body so intensely. Being watched so closely made Arielle nervous. Even though Ronan had seen her body without a single cloth many times, she still felt ashamed.

"Why do you stop?" asked Ronan, who was still faithfully waiting for Arielle to take off all her clothes.

"Um... could you turn around for a second?’" asked Arielle, who was starting to feel ashamed of her own actions.

Ronan smirked and rested his face on his palms, and looked more and more intensely at Arielle. The man nodded slowly.

"And miss the chance to see you undress in front of me? I won’t, Arielle. Even if there is a war going on behind my back right now, I won’t turn around. So keep going," he said casually.

Now it was Arielle who turned around and took off her clothes one by one. Ronan traced every side of Arielle’s body, that was so smooth. Arielle glanced back with a flushed face, Ronan then gave a big smile making Arielle turn her face back.

After removing her clothes, Arielle rushed into the cold water. The temperature of summer made the lake water not too cold. Arielle walked deeper and took water to wash her shoulders.

Arielle looked back and invited Ronan shyly. "You don’t want to join? The water is very fresh."

Ronan understood the invitation and nodded slowly.

"Thank you for the invitation," he answered briefly and then removed Arielle’s blanket that had wrapped his body all this time. The man stepped into the lake to join his beloved.

Tania sat back beside Sasha with a blush on her face.

"Where is Princess Arielle?" asked a worried Sasha.

"His Majesty the King is coming to visit," Tania whispered quietly so that no one would hear.

Sasha widened his eyes in surprise and then got up quickly.

"Where are you going?" asked Tania, confused.

"I want to directly report what Princess Andrea has done to Princess Arielle!" His words made Tania immediately pull the child’s hand back to sit down.

"Do not disturb! The two of them were having a serious discussion at the moment. Princess Arielle will definitely tell him. This is not the time to interrupt them. It’s better if you’ve finished eating, go inside the inn room!" Tania scolded and then dragged Sasha away from the bonfire from the group of village women who were joking around.
