Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 293: Ronan’s Jealousy

Every memory were always memorable. Even if it was the bad one.

Arielle looked at Ronan who was still sitting on his throne. She also wanted to be like them three and became one of the people he can rely on. Ronan had done a lot for her; helped her break free from the subjugation of her family, and taught her how to love someone dearly.

Arielle wanted to repay his kindness. If William helped Ronan in external affairs, Lazarus in maritime matters and Kael became the highest knight commander, she could help the man by lightening up his burden. She needed to study harder to become a woman who was worthy to stand by his side.

"What are you thinking, Your Highness?" asked William who noticed the change in Arielle’s expression earlier. The girl looked depressed and suddenly looked fiery in seconds.

"It is nothing. I just want to study harder," whispered Arielle quietly. William nodded and gave her his two thumbs as a sign of approval of her spirit.

Arielle and William talked a lot about the agenda in the hall. She no longer felt embarrassed to ask even the smallest things. Likewise with William who answered every question Arielle had. He could feel her high interest in learning.

Becoming a queen was not an easy task. However, seeing Arielle’s determination to learn new things, William didn’t have to worry much. He was sure that she would be able to catch up with Ronan one day.

On his throne, Ronan began to feel annoyed. He had been stealing glances from behind his mask as Arielle and William were talking intimately. He thought she would just sit around listening to a few cases and return to her room, but she stayed until noon.

He was getting tired of hearing the same cases. This was the seventh time someone complained that they had been scammed by a fake priest who took their money away. Having conveyed what was required, Ronan raised his hand, making everyone stop working.

"I’m going to rest. The meeting will be continued in an hour," said the man.

The guards saluted them and left the hall to inform the citizens that the meeting would continue in an hour. The maids came out of the waiting room to prepare the higher-ups’ lunch. Ronan himself chose to leave the hall.

Arielle looked down with a confused look.

"Is it already lunchtime?" she asked William.

William took his watch out of his pocket and shrugged his shoulders. "It should still be half an hour, and usually the break is only done in half an hour. Perhaps His Majesty is really tired."

"Could you leave us alone?" said a man from the back entrance. Arielle and William turned their heads at the same time.

"Your Majesty!" greeted Arielle happily seeing Ronan visit her.

William saw Ronan pointing towards the back door with his thumb. That was a sign, he wanted to be left alone with Arielle. William bowed and left the second floor.

Ronan locked Arielle with both hands on the railing on either side of her body. He lowered his head slowly to match her eyes level.

"You two look very close," he said in a low tone more like an annoyed tone.

Arielle did not realize that she had been caught by a predator. The girl was still smiling sweetly thinking that Ronan had only come to greet her.

"Yes, William has told and taught me many things."

He raised his eyebrow "Many things? I assigned him to look after you, not to talk to you."

Arielle’s smile slowly faded. She couldn’t see the man’s expression, and also because his back faced the light, she couldn’t look directly into his eyes.

Arielle took the hook of the mask behind Ronan’s head and lowered his mask. She no longer smiled after she saw the man was looking straight into her eyes with his jaw clenched hard.

"What is it? Is... my voice heard all the way down? I-if it bothers you , then I’ll leave right away. Um... I’ll just go to the library."

Arielle planned to leave the place, but Ronan didn’t give her a way to let through. His hands were firmly confining her.

Arielle didn’t know if her voice was heard all the way down. She didn’t mean to bother him at all. She just wanted to understand a few things, and since it just so happened that William was with her, she asked him whatever she wanted to know.

"Shit." Ronan cursed softly, making Arielle’s body stiffen. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The man nuzzled his head on Arielle’s shoulder and inhaled the girl’s scent to relieve his annoyance.

"Ronan?" call Arielle. "I’m going back to the library, so you can rest well."

"I want you to stay here," he pleaded.

Arielle didn’t understand what he wanted. His voice became very soft, unlike a moment ago that sounded sharp and menacing.

"You know what pisses me off?" asked Ronan as he nudged his face into the crook of Arielle’s neck.

"Because I’m noisy?" Arielle replied a little unsure.

He didn’t answer her. The two hands that confined Arielle slowly moved to hug her waist, then he pressed his body against her small body.

Arielle was quite startled by his random behavior.

"Then, what upsets you?"

"Because I’m jealous."

"Jealous?" asked Arielle in confusion.

Ronan lifted Arielle’s body. He pushed the large couch back a little so that no one from below could peek into the second floor. He sat there, then put her on his lap.

After leaning his body against the back of the couch, Ronan let out a sigh of relief. Arielle was still holding his mask, waiting for his answer as to why he was jealous and what he was jealous of.

Ronan pursed his lips and turned his face away from her. Arielle, who thought he didn’t want her presence, planned to stand up but his grip on her waist was so tight that she couldn’t get up from his lap.

"You know what I’m jealous of?" asked Ronan who grabbed Arielle’s face and caressed it gently.

"I will never know if you won’t tell me, Ronan," said Arielle with a sad face.
