Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 745: Aimee’s Answer
Aimee couldn’t say yes right away. In the beginning, she and Lazarus agreed to start things off casually. Aimee had always liked Lazarus. She didn’t really hate the man. Lazarus was like fresh air in her life. But... to spend time together, was that what she really wanted?
Aimee still had a dream that she had yet to achieve. She still wanted to own a school and become a teacher. She might be able to do that if her parents who were wealthy and had influence as a noble family helped her build the school. However, they didn’t allow the path that Aimee had chosen for herself.
Lazarus could see Aimee’s doubts. The man closed the ring box again, making everyone confused. Arielle, Irene, William, even Aimee herself showed the same confusion. They were very surprised because Lazarus gave up so quickly even though Aimee hadn’t given him an answer.
Lazarus put the diamond ring box back in his jacket pocket. He reached into his trouser pocket while still kneeling with one leg. Lazarus then took out a silver key, which made Aimee even more confused about what the man wanted from her.
His right hand held a mysterious key and his left hand took out an opened scroll.
"Miss Aimee. I have something that I can’t possibly take care of alone because I’m going to sail to the sea. Besides, I will never be able to be a teacher. So, Miss Aimee. Do you want to be a teacher at the school I have built?"
Aimee pursed her lips in surprise. She read the certificate of ownership of a school in her name with her last name... Lazarus?
Aimee laughed out loud. She couldn’t pretend to be stupid anymore. Of course, the man wouldn’t give it all for nothing. Lazarus was a cunning man, and that cunning trait was what made her always attracted to him.
Aimee excitedly took the key from Lazarus’s hand and hugged the man tightly.
"You’re stupid, but I like a man like you," whispered Aimee, making Lazarus also laugh and lift the woman’s body when he stood up, twirling while carrying her around. It made everyone around them, including William, click their tongues in envy.
Two soldiers holding confetti had trouble igniting a flame to light the fireworks. Lazarus had started giving signs for the two soldiers to light the confetti immediately, but the flame they tried to ignite from the lighter always failed.
Arielle saw it and decided to help. She approached the two soldiers. Both of them were surprised when a small flame appeared on the tip of the queen’s index finger. Not only the two soldiers who showed surprised faces, but the people there who had not taken their eyes off the queen had also gasped in shock.
Arielle then ignited the end of the rope, and immediately, a series of fireworks lit up in the sky. This was followed by fireworks fired from the ships lined up in the middle of the sea. All eyes were fixed on the gray Northendell sky.
They were either surprised or amazed at the beautiful sparks that lit up the dark sky with various lusters.

Lazarus’ proposal was successfully accepted by Aimee, and they were celebrating it by having dinner together. However, the atmosphere was so awkward, dark, and gloomy. It was because the happiest day was actually greeted with several plates of steak that were... out of shapes.
The fresh cut of meat now looked much darker and smaller. It was so pale inside. The freshness of the meat had gone. If only Arielle hadn’t forgotten that she left Ronan alone to cook in the kitchen, perhaps they wouldn’t be faced with this horrible-looking steak.
Lazarus wanted to protest and ordered the maid to cook for them again, but Arielle and Aimee forbade him. This was Ronan’s first attempt at cooking, so they should appreciate it. After a moment, Ronan returned with a bottle of champagne to celebrate Aimee and Lazarus who were going to get married soon.
Everyone received a glass of champagne to celebrate it, except for Irene who was underage as well as Kael who refused because he still couldn’t accept that he had been cast aside as an older brother.
"Have both of you talked about what you’re going to do next?" Ronan asked Lazarus, as well as Aimee. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"I will probably do a few expeditions for the last time, while waiting for Aimee to be ready to build a family. I know Aimee will be busy starting the school we have built. I hope you don’t complicate the permit, Your Majesty," said Lazarus politely.
Arielle was surprised because it was rare to see Lazarus as polite as this. The man was completely serious with his plan.
"For that matter, it looks like we need to find someone who will fill in your position, Lazarus. You may still work here, but you can no longer go sailing to the sea because you have other responsibilities in Northendell. As for Aimee’s school permit, I can give it to her when we return to the palace. Are you fully prepared to do this, Aimee?"
"Your Majesty, owning a school and becoming a teacher has been my dream since childhood. Since I was at the academy, my teachers had all been men apart from Mrs. Churchill. It made me want to be a teacher too. Even though my family... except for Kael, refused the idea and even tried to set me up with another man to prevent me from becoming a teacher, my dream never died down. Didn’t I say at the beginning that I was doing this to collect money to build a school? All this time I have been waiting for this time, collecting money as well as preparing myself," Aimee replied.
"Of course Aimee is ready," Arielle added, while giving the woman a smile.
"Before we got a teacher for Irene, Aimee has helped Irene study to the best of her ability. Aimee is a great teacher. She is patient, kind, and also disciplined, which I’m sure is very good at becoming an admiring teacher."
