Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 568: The Warm Gathering

Arielle cleared her throat quickly as Lazarus was about to reply to Kael’s words. She hoped that there would be no unnecessary disputes in front of Irene. Arielle wanted them to show their mature side so that Irene could feel comfortable and protected by the trusted people around her. Arielle then introduced Lucas who was sitting quietly beside Kael.

However, Irene’s eyes were still fixed on Aimee who was still silencing Lazarus from making a sound, as well as Lazarus and Kael who were giving each other sharp looks.

"Then, next to Kael, it’s Lucas. Lucas was the one who helped me the most since the first day I arrived in the North. He is like a hero who is always ready to help me at any time."

Lucas blushed at being praised in such a way. With his blushing face, he turned to Irene. "I will always help Princess Irene too. If you need something, please just call me. I’ll provide it immediately," he said.

Irene could also feel the kindness of the man named Lucas. She smiled shyly then nodded. The man named Lucas might not be as strong as the two previous men that Arielle had introduced to her, but she knew that Lucas was a good person. Just like when she met Arielle for the first time, her instincts told her that Lucas was a good person and not scary at all.

"Then, beside Lucas is Priest Elis. He is a priest at Northendell Cathedral. He also helped me a lot in studying. If there’s something you want to learn, Priest Elis will always help you."

As usual, Priest Elis was the quietest person Arielle knew. The man just gave a small smile without saying anything.

Then, Irene turned to the man beside her. She had glanced at him several times before.

"Princess, do you remember the person who once paid you a bowl of soup at the tavern?" William asked before Arielle introduced her to Irene.

Irene remembered that a nice man paid for her food when she was eating alone at the tavern. She even gave a rose as a thank you because at that time after giving her the money, her father left, saying he wanted to meet a priest.

Irene, who was not used to the outside world, chose to wait for her father while filling her stomach. However, she couldn’t see the man’s face clearly back then.

Irene nodded in agreement.

"I can’t believe that we’re that close. No wonder when I saw you for the first time, you looked very familiar. It turns out that you are Princess Irene. I really didn’t expect it at all because for all of us—"

William immediately covered his mouth when he felt he was talking too much.

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is William. My job is..." he thought for a moment. What was the job? William almost did everything Ronan wanted and replaced the king when he was busy.

Did that mean William was the second king? Hm... if he was joking around using that word the others might laugh, but his life would obviously be threatened by the man who was glaring at him in the back.

"I do a lot of things. Anything," he answered simply with a big smile.

"That’s right, William is a reliable man. He often helps Ronan’s work," Arielle added.

"There are still two more. Their names are Sasha and Crimson. They are also siblings, like Aimee and Kael. Sasha is ten years old and Crimson is still a baby. They have a unique hair color, red."

"Like Maxieno?" Irene asked, opening her voice for the first time.

"Um... I guess it’s a little different. If Maxieno has a red color like flames. Sasha and Crimson have darker colors, like... the roses you gave me," explained Arielle.

William, Kael, and Lazarus still remembered the arrogant man whose hair was red like flames. They did not expect that Irene also knew the man too.

Arielle finished introducing everyone to Irene. Then, Irene pulled Arielle’s arm again. "Everyone here has siblings? Do you have siblings too, Arielle?"

"Me? I also have a brother. I have an older brother named Archie. He is also a king. He is in the Nieverdell Kingdom. The place is similar to Birwick, has a warm sun, but it doesn’t have as much forest as Birwick."

Irene nodded. They all looked at the princess who still looked awkward and shy. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"I heard that Princess Irene really liked the Frostberry earlier. If you still want it, I can provide it."

Irene nodded. She loved the little fruit! The white color reminds her of Arielle’s hair. It was very clean and shiny, but when it was bitten, it changed to red! The sweetness was also very pleasant, making Irene feel eating one fruit was not enough.

"Irene and I finished the Frostberries that Aimee brought. I’m happy that Irene and I have the same favorite fruit," said Arielle.

Everyone knew Arielle’s love for the fruit. Even the king deliberately bought and kept more Frostberries to give to Arielle as a snack while studying or in the girl’s spare time.

"Princess Irene, may I ask you something?" William asked, making Irene turn her head.

Irene didn’t answer. She just stared at William. The man concluded that Irene gave him permission to ask.

"When you were at Northendell, did you know you had an older brother?"

Irene was silent for a moment then shook her head. "I don’t know. Father never said anything."

"Oh, I understand. But, do you know of any other places beyond Birwick?"

"Yes. Father often told me about a place full of white snow and promised to take me there one day."

"And you’re here now."

Irene nodded with a blush on her face.

"Awww... she’s so cute. I’m sorry, Your Highness, but I have never seen someone as adorable as her. I don’t have a younger sister and Sasha is a boy who doesn’t have any sweetness at all," Aimee said while looking at Irene in amazement.

"Sasha is also very sweet," Arielle replied, defending her little friend.

"Huh? Sweet Sasha? I’m sorry, Your Highness. Even when I compared him to Kael, Kael is still cuter than Sasha," Lazarus said, making everyone flinch at the thought of a big and tall man with a scary face acting cute.
