Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 715: The Uncomfortable William

"Lazarus, you don’t need to worry. Aimee has many friends here. There’s me and Irene as well."

"I know, Your Majesty. It’s just that I don’t like it when a lot of men around here try to take every opportunity to hug the women, like Thompson did earlier. Tch, pretending to fall... If only I can pull his collar, I will definitely break his hand."

"Lazarus," Ronan called, making Lazarus look up. His face still showed annoyance at the memory of another man touching his girlfriend.

"Firstly, his name is Thomas and secondly... don’t be reckless. You know, I’ve talked to Grandma Bertha, and she said she still has a grudge against you and William. So I suggest that you behave yourself while you’re here if you don’t want to be put in the torture chamber. I’ve checked the room myself."

Arielle turned to her husband in confusion. Ronan said to Lazarus of the red door room as if it was indeed a place to torture humans. Whereas a moment ago, Ronan said that it was a place for people to make love?

So, which one was true?

Ronan could feel someone’s gaze from the side, then turned towards his wife. He approached her to whisper.

"I only threatened him so he would stop blabbering his mouth," whispered Ronan, and Arielle didn’t respond to it. The girl only glanced at Lazarus briefly, then returned to her gaze on Irene who was doing embroidery.

The night came. Lazarus had gone to escort Princess Zohra back to the border of Thebis because recently, the neutral territory had become unstable, and Ronan didn’t want anything to happen to the princess on the way back to her kingdom as her help would be of great help to him in the future.

They had reached an agreement. Princess Zohra would invite Ronan and Arielle to visit Thebis for her forty-fifth birthday. They would also begin to actively communicate in secret.

Both of them didn’t want the King of Thebis to know their plan to bring Arielle and Ronan to meet with the Dragon Clan of Thebis.

This time, William joined the others for dinner because tomorrow morning they would continue their journey to the harbour so Arielle and Irene could board on Lazarus’ ship and see the sea.

However, from the moment William introduced himself to Princess Bertha, he sat anxiously. He couldn’t enjoy his meal like the others. His throat felt dry even though the food in front of him looked very tempting.

The reason was because since he introduced himself as William D Ashryver, Princess Bertha had never stopped talking about the past incident.

"Really, those two adorable children. They innocently accused me of being a cruel and cold-blooded killer, crying loudly in front of my secret room and even revealing my deepest secret in front of many people. Isn’t that adorable? Is that right, William?" asked Princess Bertha, making William smile nervously in his chair.

His hands trembled as he held the spoon containing the soup until it splashed onto his clothes.

"Hehee, I-I’m sorry, Princess. I really didn’t mean to make rumors about you. I was very young and didn’t know anything back then."

"Of course. It’s the most acceptable and classic reason. An innocent child who doesn’t know anything. So that whatever they do should be forgiven by adults even though that very mistake has embarrassed someone greatly. Is that right, William?"

Again, William apologized for the umpteenth time. Irene, who was sitting beside William, offered a handkerchief to him because the man’s clothes were splashed with a lot of the broth of the soup. William thanked Irene in a whisper and rubbed his sweaty forehead.

In his heart, he cursed Lazarus who was free to leave this place. Because there was no Lazarus, it was William who had to endure all the insinuations uttered by Grandmother Bertha.

If one looked at the lineage, William was still the great-grandson of Grandmother Bertha. Princess Bertha’s older brother had two children. The first brother became a king, which ended in Ronan, and the younger brother married another noble and William was born from that marriage.

However, the way Princess Bertha treated Ronan and William was totally different.

William was aware of his past mistakes, but it still felt unfair. Because not only was he there that night, but Lazarus was also with him.

The dinner time really tortured William mentally. The man could only breathe a sigh of relief when it was finally over. However, before he could leave the dining hall, Princess Bertha restrained him again, making William even more nervous.

"William," called Princess Bertha. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Y-yes, Your Highness?"

The old woman approached and smiled faintly. William began to have bad thoughts. Did the woman smile because she was going to punish him? He was old enough to receive a punishment! Would he also be dragged into the torture chamber?

Princess Bertha drew nearer, and as the woman’s hand reached to him, William closed his eyes in fear, getting ready to receive a slap.

"Oh, my poor great-grandson. I hear you’re traumatized after visiting the room, huh? It’s fine now. Forget it and let’s not bring it up again."

William opened his eyes timidly and found Princess Bertha stroking his cheek.

"You are my brother’s great-grandson. Just like Ronan. Call me grandma. We are not strangers," said Grandmother Bertha who then rubbed William’s hand and left the man alone in the dining hall.

William, who did not understand what was happening, was speechless. His legs felt very weak, and he almost fell to the floor until someone called him.

"William... Williaam ..." called Irene, with Aimee behind the child.

"Huh? Oh, princess..."

"William, what are you doing? You look pale. Did something happen?" Irene asked, while drawing closer to the man.

"My stomach feels a bit weird. Maybe because I stand in the cold for too long. What’s wrong, Princess? Do you need help?"

"Oh, I just wanted to ask a question. I plan to make everyone a handkerchief with embroidery. Lord Kael, Lord Lazarus, Aimee, Arielle, and His Majesty the King. I’ve collected lots of image designs for the others. I am just wondering if there’s anything you like? Aimee will draw it, and I will do the embroidery."
