Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 523: Hard Training (2)

"Is that true?"

"Yes, that’s true. If you want to know it, tomorrow, you may ask Maxieno’s permission to ride on his back without me. If Maxieno starts treating you like a friend, then he will allow it. However, if not, he will just walk away and think you are insulting him."

Arielle laughed at Otis’ explanation. She couldn’t imagine Maxieno giving his permission for Arielle to ride on his back. She then shook her head. Arielle shouldn’t be happy just yet. She still had a lot to do. Her head was still feeling dizzy that morning, so she would sleep all day to gather all her energy for now. Tomorrow, she would practice hard again.

"Otis, do you know where Luffy has been lately? It feels like he hasn’t visited in a long time even though a few days ago I saw a lot of young dragons playing in the castle."

"Luffy? I heard that Luffy is training under his father to be stronger. I also met his siblings yesterday, and they laughed at Luffy who always came home almost on fire."

"Ah... I see..."

"You miss him?"

Arielle nodded. "Luffy is the only dragon who wants to interact with me even after knowing what Ronan had done to Xavier."

Otis smiled understandingly. The man took his wooden stick to get back on his feet. "If I ever see one of his siblings again, I’ll tell them how much you miss him. So now rest first. This afternoon, I’ll be back with potions and lunch, so you can really get back to your activities tomorrow."

"Thank you very much, Lord Otis. You really helped me a lot."

"It’s my job," Otis replied, then closed the door to Arielle’s room.

In the afternoon, Arielle woke up again with lunch and the medicinal herbs that had been prepared on the table. Maybe Otis came back while she was asleep. Without waiting and delaying, Arielle ate her lunch and took the medicine. Her body felt lighter, and the throbbing in her head was not as bad as this morning when she woke up with aching all over her body.

Arielle went down to return the tray containing the empty plates and dirty glasses of her lunch. After putting them back down, she took the time to visit Arthur. However, there were three people chatting on the floor, while the other sat in the form of a dark green dragon.

They sensed Arielle’s presence but ignored the girl as if Arielle wasn’t there and they had never seen her. Even when Arielle approached the iron bars where Arthur was being imprisoned, they didn’t care and continued talking with one person laughing out loud.

Arielle greeted Arthur who was sitting anxiously. The man was wearing shabby white clothes that had a lot of dirty brown stains on them.

"Your Majesty, how are you? I’m sorry that I couldn’t bring you breakfast this morning. Have you eaten yet?" Arielle asked.

Arthur shook his head and now held Arielle’s hand. "What about you? I heard from Lord Otis that you were sick? Are you okay? Is your training weighing you down? You don’t have to push yourself too much, Arielle. I can still wait up to two months. You don’t have to push the time to three weeks if your body can’t hold it."

Arielle smiled to calm the man down. "I’m fine, and I can do it," she replied firmly.

Arthur let out a long sigh, then brought his body to the iron bars.

"Arielle, you don’t have to do everything."

"I need to do it because Ronan is my husband, and Irene is my husband’s sister. Of course, I want to save her too. Please don’t lose the spirit. I’m preparing myself now."

Arielle did train too hard. Even to this day, her body said that she could no longer continue the crazy training from Maxieno. Her body needed rest, so Arielle used her time to rest now.

If she didn’t push herself like this, Arielle wasn’t sure she would be able to master her power quickly. Now... with the help of Maxieno’s training, she was able to release her mana in the form of flames without injuring her own body. Even Arielle was able to emit the flames in the water. Now, Maxieno gave her a training on increasing the intensity of her flames. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Maxieno continued to make Arielle burn and produced more mana in her body, so that the flames would be as hot as the flames of the dragons. At least that way, Arielle didn’t have to worry about touching Amadea’s heart in the future.

Besides, Maxieno also trained Arielle to use her flames as a shield. Flames were one of the strongest elements. Thus, four days ago, Arielle’s cheeks and hands were burned because she tried to cover her own body with flames, but it failed.

Luckily, there was still the Elixir of immortality so Arielle could heal her wounds in an instant. That way, Maxieno didn’t have to feel guilty for hurting Arielle.

What do you get from doing all of this? After all, Irene and I have never met you. You shouldn’t have pushed yourself this far for strangers like us."

"I did this for myself. I love Ronan, and this is an expression of my love for him."

"You... love... Ronan?"

Arielle chuckled. "Of course. If I didn’t love him, then I wouldn’t marry him, would I?"

Arthur paused, then nodded his head. "I just couldn’t believe my son finally found the woman he loved dearly. Zoe and I didn’t even love each other. Our relationship was only limited to mutual respect, but it never reached the stage of love. We were set up, and Zoe was already like a friend to me."

Arielle knew about it. Ronan had told her before that almost all of Northendelle’s kings married women of their parents’ choice and were arranged by other royal officials. However, Ronan didn’t want that. The man said that from the start, he was attracted in a strange way to Arielle.
