Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 518: The Blessing And The Curse
"Otis? What do you mean?"
Otis pulled Arielle’s body and gestured for the girl to sit on a dusty chair. Otis sat in front of her. After calming down, he lifted his cloak slightly so that Arielle could see the same tattoo on his ankle.
"Arielle, the creatures in Birwick are different from humans. They have a unique power that humans don’t have. This is the seal of agreement that Maxieno has attached to me since I was a baby. I will be a servant of the dragon clan until the end of my life. That’s why I once said that I’m tied to Birwick Mountain. I can’t leave this place because no matter how far I go the dragon clan will keep looking for me and drag me back to this place."
"Isn’t this the same seal just like mine?"
Otis nodded. "I almost died once. I’ve also said that I used to be a baby abandoned on Birwick Mountain, and the dragons took me in and raised me here. When I was a baby, as a result of being exposed to the cold of Birwick Mountain, I almost died and they saved me. In return, Maxieno tied me to this agreement."
"Then, what does that have to do with Amadea’s curse on Ronan?"
"Arielle, remember how you were going to lift Amadea’s curse? I have explained it."
"I will look for the blood snowdrop flower which is Princess Cecil’s favorite flower, and on the full moon, I will meet Princess Cecil in the forest where the souls of Amadea and Princess Cecil meet, give the snowdrop, and soothe Princess Cecil’s soul."
"That’s right, the snowdrop is the key. Amadea cursed Theodore ’s descendants because they had injured Princess Cecil who was pregnant. Amadea came to confront Theodore who imprisoned Princess Cecil, didn’t he? Theodore wanted to defeat the werewolf clan because Princess Cecil chose Amadea over him. Theodore underestimated the werewolf clan and the God of Birwick Mountain."
Otis reminded Arielle of Amadea and Theodror’s story once again. It was about how Amadea burned down the Birwick Forest because Theodore shot Princess Cecillia. After that, he cursed Theodore’s descendants by forcing the man to make an agreement. More like one sided agreement like Otis. The agreement was that Amadea would give Theodore’s descendants his power.
It made Theodore’s descendants become an imperfect werewolf where every full night they would always lose control of their minds and go berserk. Amadea’s goal was one, because Theodore killed the werewolf clan, he wanted to make Theodore’s family killed by their own descendants who became wolves.
Otis also reminded Arielle of the concept of the curse and blessings given by the Moon Goddess to Princess Cecil. Namely, the Moon Goddess inserted a little part of her consciousness to Princess Cecil so she could protect the creatures around her and become the mate of the God of Mount Birwick, Amadea.
Amadea also did the same thing as the Moon Goddess. He embedded a little of his consciousness into Theodore’s descendants so that they could turn into werewolves. However, the blessings or curse that Amadea gave was destructive, so Theodore and his descendants called it a curse.
"Then, what about the agreement? I still don’t understand, Otis."
"Before becoming a god appointed by the Sun God, Amadea was the leader of a werewolf clan. He also had the same power as Maxieno. It was to tie humans with an agreement. Amadea’s curse can turn into a blessing for Thedore’s descendants if they know the key."
"You mean Ronan can still change his form into a wolf whenever he wants, and he can also turn into a human on a full night?"
"Correct! Because the blessing or curse that Amadea gave on Theodore’s descendants is binding, so we must give something to break and stop the seal of the agreement. After that, it will no longer continue to the next generation."
Arielle remembered about Maxieno’s words that the seal of the agreement was binding on her descendants later. If Arielle couldn’t incubate Abigail’s eggs later, her responsibility would be passed on to her child, and if her child failed, it would be passed on to her grandson until someone succeeds in doing it. It meant the same cycle would keep repeating itself if she failed as it did for Theodore’s descendants.
Arielle was starting to understand now. "Then, the blood snowdrop is the key to calming Amadea’s soul forever?"
Otis nodded. At that time, he only gave Arielle a small bouquet of snowdrop flowers and asked her to add it with her blood because the girl’s blood had little in common with the smell of Princess Cecil’s blood. Even though it was different, it was enough to calm Amadea’s curse on the full moon.
Now, they needed the real snowdrop to win Amadea’s heart. If Arielle managed to meet Cecil and Amadea and give him the flower Amadea always wanted, the seal of Amadea’s agreement on Theodore would be released, and the curse would turn into a blessing to Theodore’s descendants even though after that, they could no longer have the descendants that could turn into wolves.
Now the new problem was in Arielle.
"I apologize for acting rashly. I just need help to save Irene, and Maxieno said if I keep learning from you, it will take me about a year to master my power. I don’t think I have that much time."
Otis could understand Arielle’s concern. From the start, he couldn’t predict when the girl would be able to master her power. Otis also didn’t want to make Arielle overdid herself because he had promised King Northendell that he would take care of the girl and make sure that she wasn’t hurt.
"Everything has already happened. There’s nothing I can do right now. Even though Maxieno will be your teacher now, I will continue to watch over you. Sometimes, Maxieno can be too much, and I’m afraid you won’t get a chance to heal or rest. At least if I watch you, I can know when it’s time to stop, so that something like yesterday doesn’t happen again," Otis said while pointing at Arielle’s fingers that didn’t have any scars.
