Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 301: Meet Baby Crimson

"Huh? Baby Crimson? Who is that?" asked Ronan. He was confused about why Arielle named this thing.

"Look at her hair. It is crimson red. Since her mother doesn’t seem to have left her a name, I temporarily call her Crimson," she answered cheerfully while lightly touching the baby’s cheek.

"Okay, whatever it is called, but I still want my reward tonight."

"Tonight? What kind of reward?"

"You sleep with me."

Arielle looked up and saw Ronan’s serious expression. The man could see the doubt in her eyes, but he didn’t care.

"We’re not going to do anything. I just want to hug you the entire night."

Arielle looked at Ronan once more. From the moment she arrived with the baby, she could feel that Ronan was holding back his annoyance. He also became more violent when he ordered Lucas earlier. She nodded in agreement. If that would make the man get better, then it wouldn’t hurt to have her accompany him tonight.

"Good," answered Ronan who was satisfied with Arielle’s answer.

Arielle returned to feed Crimson, as she called the baby. For thirty minutes, Ronan tried not to move much. He continued to watch Arielle who looked very happy talking one way with the baby in his arms.

Seeing Arielle who was smiling widely, Ronan forgot about Crimson’s drool falling on his hands even though Arielle had cleaned it many times.

After thirty minutes, Arielle finished feeding Crimson.

"But, there is still some," Ronan pointed at the remaining soup in the bowl.

"It doesn’t matter. Tania said babies will get bored quickly if they eat for more than thirty minutes."

"Huh? But this thing needs to eat a lot, right? So that she grows up quickly, and doesn’t bother you anymore," said Ronan, who didn’t understand Arielle’s words.

Arielle, who saw Ronan’s seriousness, laughed in amusement. "It’s not like that... If she eats too much, it’s not good either. Later she will bloat and vomit. Now, let’s help Crimson to burp."

Ronan frowned as Arielle placed a small cloth over his left shoulder. How do babies burp?

Arielle took Crimson from the man’s lap and placed the baby on Ronan’s shoulder which was covered in cloth.

"What are you doing? This is too close, Arielle," protested Ronan who tried to avoid the baby.

"Just a moment," Arielle replied softly.

Ronan didn’t have much choice. He only relented when Arielle pulled his hand to support Crimson’s body.

"Good girl," said Arielle to Crimson, patting the baby’s back gently. she pulled Ronan’s hand in place of her hand patting Crimson’s back lightly. He complied with Arielle’s wishes.

The baby’s back felt very small. It’s even smaller than the palm of his hand. Slowly Ronan began to relax. Arielle watched the two with a wide smile.

"When will she burp?" asked Ronan curiously.

"Soon."

The door to his room opened without a knock. William and Kael came together after being summoned by Lucas. They could only accompany the higher-ups for half an hour because they heard Lucas say that Ronan looked furious.

The two frooze for a moment, looking at the scene in front of them.

"Ah, you have come-"

BURP!

"Arghhh..." Ronan panicked when he smelled a strange scent from his shoulder.

***

William, who saw white liquid coming out of the baby’s mouth on Ronan’s shoulder, immediately covered his mouth, feeling nauseous. He wanted to leave the room, but Kael quickly grabbed the back of his shirt to stop William from escaping.

Arielle just smiled to calm Ronan who was about to complain. The girl grabbed Crimson and carried her again. With one free hand she brushed the rest of the baby’s vomit off his shoulder. Luckily, she put a cloth on it, so it didn’t get on the man’s clothes.

"It’s finished. Thank you," Arielle said after placing the cloth left over from Crimson’s vomit on the tray.

Kael called a guard outside Ronan’s room to take the leftover tray and Crimson’s vomit cloth. Meanwhile, Ronan took off his clothes which still had the smell of the baby’s.

The man then ordered William and Kael to sit across from him. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Any news from Lazarus?" asked Ronan matter-of-factly.

"Ronan, it’s only been a few hours. The Lazarus family’s castle is quite far away, plus the weather outside was bad. He will probably be here tomorrow morning," replied William, pointing at the glass window behind the king’s desk.

Ronan, William, and Kael were silent for a while. The three of them looked at each other with serious expressions.

"As a king—"

"No!" cut William quickly, raising his hand to stop Ronan from continuing his words.

Ronan glanced at Kael briefly, but that man avoided his gaze. Needless to say, the three of them already knew what would happen to them if they gave in to each other.

Ronan, who had the highest authority, brushed off William’s hand.

"Listen to me," he said. "As a king, I—"

"Sorry Ronan, I’ve been very busy with the jobs you left behind. I have to finish it tonight, "said William who then stood up, planning to leave the room.

"William, sit down." Ronan ordered coldly.

William cursed quietly, and sat back down at the king’s orders.

Ronan looked at the two of them sharply.

"This thing is Lazarus’ spawn," said Ronan in a serious tone. "You two are Lazarus’ closest friends."

"He’s not my friend," William muttered under his breath, and Kael nodded in agreement.

Ronan ignored William’s complaints, he continued to speak. "As friends, it is only natural that you guys take care of this thing until—"

Ronan, William, and Kael sniffed their noses in unison. The three of them looked at each other again. William was blatantly acting overly nauseous when he smelled the disgusting stink. Ronan and Kael both covered their noses.

Arielle chuckled seeing the three of them looking so surprised.

"You guys are exaggerating. Crimson is also a human who has a digestive system," Arielle said calmly.

Arielle asked Ronan to sit beside Kael for a while. After that she placed Crimson on the table.

"William, can I get Crimson a change of clothes, please?"

Getting a chance to get some fresh air, William dashed out of the room as fast as he could and shouted for help. Arielle, who heard William’s dramatic scream, shook her head.
