Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 770: The Departure Of Tania
The day Jonathan was going to pick up Tania arrived. Arielle has prepared for this day but it still feels like she will never be ready. A guard informs Arielle who is in the library that a man named Jonathan has arrived.
Arielle rushed to finish her assignment so she could meet the man who would bring Tania back to Nieverdell.
Jonathan, a man over fifty years old, stood in astonishment to see such a magnificent palace. The man took off his hat and his mouth never closed. too amazed by what he saw.
Jonathan never knew that Tania had worked in another kingdom. Until the news that Arielle, a princess from Nieverdell who he once taught to paint married the king of the north.
Tania is Arielle’s loyal servant, so it’s very natural for her to follow where the people she serves go. Jonathan stood awkwardly. Some of the maids looked at him in confusion. Maybe they were also confused as to why an ordinary man with ordinary clothes could enter the palace room with a royal invitation.
Ronan arrived first. Jonathan immediately recognized the masked man. Ronan is the king. His powerful aura radiated far away from where the man stood. Jonathan immediately bowed his head in respect. Ronan invited Jonathan to return to sit in one of the chairs in the room. Ronan himself sat in the king’s chair which was located at the very center of the table.
"So, you are Jonathan?" he asked.
"Yes, Your Highness. I am Jonathan who sent the letter a few days ago."
Ronan watched the man carefully. Jonathan wears simple but neat clothes. The man looks responsible. He had done a background check on the man. There’s nothing to doubt. Jonathan is just a lonely old man who wants to make new friends. Incidentally Tania is his old friend, Jonathan also offers to live together. Ronan was initially skeptical that Tania would accept the offer.
Ronan himself has given whatever he can to Tania. As an important woman in his wife’s life, Ronan tries to provide the best service for Tania. But Tania could never let go of her previous life. The woman still stubbornly wants to be involved in various jobs, making Arielle often worried. Also recently, Tania, who complained that her joints felt stiff, made Arielle even more restless.
Maybe with Tania back in a warmer place, she could enjoy her old age more.
"I’ve heard a few things about you from Tania. I heard you taught my wife to paint?"
"R-right, Your Majesty. I had the wonderful opportunity to teach Princess- sorry, I mean Queen Arielle painted when she was a little girl."
"You did your job well."
Jonathan just smiled. For someone who was not paid at that time, Jonathan was very sincere in teaching Arielle to paint. Even though Arielle is a royal princess, the child does not get proper service. Also not getting the facilities that a royal princess should get.
Tania, who doesn’t have money, can’t afford teachers for Arielle either. Therefore as a friend, Jonathan offered his services. Teaches Arielle to paint in her spare time.
"My wife is a great painter. Some of the paintings in this dining are her works."
Jonathan looked up and saw several paintings hanging on the wall. a painting of fruit in the basket looks so stiff. The use of color and lighting is still too rough. Not yet blended perfectly.
That’s just his assessment as a painter only. But for someone like Arielle, who isn’t particularly into painting, what Arielle created was something extraordinary. Beside the fruit painting there was a painting of several pink flower branches placed in a ceramic vase. The coloring this time is much better.
It is clear how Arielle’s abilities have developed along with the changes in the painting that Jonathan sees.
"Queen Arielle is so talented," Jonathan complimented sincerely.
"Of course. My wife is the best painter. She can make small things worthy of a longer look."
Jonathan just smiled. Those are the words of people who fall in love. But Jonathan would never reveal it.
"Ah, speaking of paintings, are you only going to sell paintings?" he asked.
"Ah.. no, Your Majesty. I now own a food stall as well. I will sell food and sell paintings too. Apart from that, I am also a painting teacher at a school in Nieverdell."
Ronan nodded slowly.
"Tania is someone who is very precious to my wife. If you want to bring it back to Nieverdell then do it right."
"I promise, Your Majesty. I’ve thought this through carefully."
"Very well, besides that I hope you can visit Northendell often. Or if you’re visiting Northendell pay a visit to the castle. I’m sure my wife will really appreciate it."
Jonathan bowed his head in thanks. "Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you for your kind heart."
Right after Ronan finished talking to Jonathan, Arielle arrived. Jonathan felt awkward after seeing the princess back after several years of not seeing her. Arielle is growing well. Very beautiful and graceful. A princess ... now a queen.
Ever since he’d laid eyes on the queen for the first time at Nieverdell back then, Jonathan had always had the feeling that this child would be something special. Because no matter how badly her family treats her, Arielle is able to shine. Even with her shabby clothes, Arielle is the brightest child Jonathan has ever met.
"Your Majesty," Jonathan greeted Arielle.
"Jonathan. How are you? I haven’t heard from you in a long time. I’m glad you’re okay," said Arielle who stretched out her hand to hug Jonathan.
Ronan who was sitting in his place frowned disapprovingly.
"Thank you for worrying about me, Your Majesty. But I’m fine. Indeed, I have been through a lot but now I’m fine. I am very happy with my life right now."
"Oh, I’m glad to hear that. Are you coming back to Nieverdell right away? Can’t you stay here for a few days? Maybe you and Tania want to go around town first?’
Jonathan smiled faintly. "Thank you for your offer, Your Majesty. But I have another job that I can’t leave. Sorry if I was rude to refuse your request."
Arielle sighed sadly.
"It doesn’t matter. Umm... maybe you want to meet Tania right away. I’ll call her and you two can talk for a while."
This will be Tania and Jonathan’s first meeting after several years of not communicating. Arielle didn’t want to disturb the both of them. Ronan will invite Arielle to leave the room. To give Tania a chance, Jonathan also let go of his longing as an old friend.
"Your Majesty," Jonathan called Arielle.
"Yes?"
"It is an honor for me to have the opportunity to be your painting teacher. all the paintings you make are very beautiful. Your skills have really grown."
"Thank you Jonathan. It’s because you were the teacher. You have also given a lot of your precious time to teach me to paint even though you were not paid at that time."
Jonathan nodded. Arielle and Ronan left the room. In front of the meeting room, Tania was already standing wearing her best dress. Tania looks very ready to leave the north. Tania gave one hug and thanked Arielle and Ronan one last time.
Arielle took a deep breath trying not to get emotional. Ronan put his arm around his wife’s shoulder. stroked Arielle’s arm to help Arielle calm down.
Tania decides to come back with Jonathan that very day. Even the woman had prepared her luggage bag filled with various kinds of her clothes. besides one chest containing several treasures as well as provisions that Ronan had prepared to help Tania and Jonathan in Nieverdell later.
After talking to Jonathan in the meeting room, Tania returned to meet Arielle to ask permission to return to Nieverdell that very day.
Arielle and Ronan provided a carriage for Tania to use. Jonathan himself had provided his own carriage, but the carriage that Jonathan brought had many holes that made the temperature inside the carriage much colder.
"This is the least I can do for you guys," said Arielle.
Jonathan’s face flushed with embarrassment.
"Jonathan, I already consider Tania like my own mother. I want the best for both of you. For you too, Jonathan. Because you are one of the people who taught me about kindness too. You deserves all the best."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am very grateful until the end of my life, "Jonathan answered.
Tania saw Arielle with a smile. Tania will always miss Arielle’s kindness. Because the kindness of a woman’s heart is a characteristic that not everyone has. Arielle’s affection is very pure and does not look at caste. Both humans and animals will definitely get the kindness of her hearts.
Lucas helped Tania to hoped into her new carriage. Some of the maids have also included all of Tania’s belongings.
"Say my regards to Princess irene as well as Aimee, Your Majesty."
Arielle nodded, gripping Ronan’s arm tighter not to cry outside the palace.
"Of course. Aimee will be back in three days too I will pass on your greetings to Princess irene."
Tony’s eyes started to get teary. Joantahan gave her gloves to Tania to wipe the tears that fell down the woman’s cheeks.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
"Of course, Tania. You too!"
Jonathan asked a permission to leave the palace and Ronan also allowed it. The man got into the carriage with the coachman who was ready to pull the horses out of the palace.
Arielle waved her hand as well as Tania who never took her eyes off Arielle.
"Take care of yourself, Tania!" Arielle shouted with tears starting to fall.
Tania herself began to cry and then nodded. She waved the handkerchief given by Jonathan to Arielle. Both of them didn’t want to stop wave their hands until the carriage that brought Tania back to Nieverdell disappeared behind the high gates of the palace.
Ronan lifted his wife’s body. Holding the crying woman. He still had important meetings after this but comforting his crying wife was even more important.
