Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 557: Arielle As A Big Sister

"Human!" Maxieno’s call boomed, making Arielle and Otis shocked.

The girl flinched slightly and then looked back.

"You don’t have to wait for them to be born. You can visit this place any time you want. Otis is going to die soon. I want you to be my servant here once in a while."

Arielle chuckled. Really, the words Maxieno uttered were very evil, but she knew that was not what the man meant. He was just too shy to reveal his true heart.

"Can I take my husband too?" Arielle asked in a teasing tone, making Maxieno grunt in annoyance.

"Don’t push your luck, human. I have been very kind enough to allow you to visit whenever you wish."

Arielle nodded. "Hahaha, I know. Then, I’ll go first. Thank you for everything, Maxieno. You’re a good friend. If you smile more often, you will look great," she said. Maxieno opened his mouth to protest, but Arielle raised her hand to stop the man.

"Lastly, my name is Arielle. Not human or female. You can start learning how to call my name."

"Tch, I would never do that. You humans shouldn’t act like you’re equal to us, dragons," Maxieno replied as he haughtily folded his arms in front of his chest.

Arielle chuckled and glanced back to Otis to say goodbye for one last time.

In front of the castle, Arthur and Irene waited for her beside Luffy. Irene was seen hugging her father’s arm tightly because she felt that Birwick Castle was really scary with the dragons who never stopped scolding her to stop crying.

Arielle crouched down in front of Irene then fixed the girl’s curls a little. Her clothes were still too thin to wear in the cold when they arrived on the plains of Northendell later.

"Irene..." Arielle called softly while touching the girl’s hands.

"After this, we will start living together. You don’t have to fear anything because your brother and I will always protect you."

"Older brother?"

Arielle nodded her head. She knew that Arthur had never told Irene about their true identities. Being treated like a slave since she was a child with no definite future made Arthur not want to give false hope to his daughter.

"Your brother is a tall man, has red eyes like your father and jet black hair like you. He might be a clumsy person, but he always loves you."

Irene still looked doubtful. Arielle smiled seeing the resemblance of Ronan and Irene when they frowned if something bothered them.

"It’s fine. We can learn to get to know each other later," said Arielle, calming Irene so the girl wouldn’t be too afraid of her new home.

Arielle turned to Arthur who was bowing silently. She gently stroked her father-in-law’s arm.

"Ronan is waiting, let’s go home," she said while pulling Arthur and Irene’s hand as they left Birwick Castle.

Arielle looked back to remember the castle that was already full of ruins. She would miss the sun rays that enveloped her body. It was warm and soothing. Arielle promised that after this she would also bring spring to all the people of Northendell.

Arielle returned to Northendell accompanied by Luffy and Violet. Arielle was really honored when Violet said that she would take them to Northendell, but the woman said to Arielle not to be so arrogant because it was just an order from Maxieno. Without Maxieno’s orders, Violet would probably not allow anyone to ride on her back.

Arielle and Luffy climbed on Luffy’s back, while Arthur climbed on Violet’s back. As they came out of Birwick through the thick clouds, Arielle lent her coat to Irene because she knew how cold Northendell was. She didn’t want Irene to have a cold and fever because of her thin clothes.

"What about you, Your Highness?" asked Irene who wanted to return Arielle’s coat because she thought that the princess would also feel cold.

"Do not mind me. I am the flames itself. You know that, right?"

Irene nodded, making Arielle smile. As they passed Birwick Village, Arielle pointed down so Irene could see the life outside Birwick more clearly. However, Luffy and Violet kept going up until they were flying above the clouds.

Even though Northendell’s condition wasn’t very bright, the two of them didn’t want to take the risk. If someone saw a dragon and the events of a few years ago were repeated, it would be terrible. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Oh, Irene... You can just call me by my name. You and I are sisters!" Arielle said with a louder tone because Luffy was flying so fast that his voice was muffled by the gust of wind.

"But, aren’t you the princess of the kingdom?’

Arielle smiled. "You are also the princess of the kingdom. I’ll explain it to you later, but I want us to be able to act like sisters. Can you do it?"

There was a pause when Irene thought about it first. Then, she nodded, making Arielle smile happily. The little girl was really cute. It reminded Arielle of Luffy and Sasha. It was unfortunate that the werewolf clan took away her childhood time, leaving Irene deeply traumatized.

Arielle bit her lip so she wouldn’t be too happy when Irene’s two hands that previously gripped her clothes now hugged her from behind tightly. She could feel the warmth of Irene’s body against her back. Arielle also touched Irene’s hand gently and gave warmth to the child.

Arielle had never felt affection from her siblings. She was the youngest child who was never treated like siblings. Her other siblings bullied her. They even used her as a sacrifice to pay for the mistakes of his late brother, Alexis. Now, only her and Archie were left. Archie had also tried to become a good big brother, and Arielle really appreciated his efforts to fix their relationship.

Even though the wounds of the past could never be healed completely, at least the man opened a new path for the two of them to become a real brother and sister.

Now, Irene appeared in Arielle’s life. She knew that the girl was Ronan’s sister, but that didn’t make Arielle ignore her. If Irene was her husband’s sister, it meant Irene was also her sister. Arielle wanted to hug the child like an older sister. She would give everything she had as a big sister. Arielle had learned a lot from her previous family about what should and should not be done by a big sister to her little sister.
