Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 775: Arielle And William
William shook his head. Ashryver is a fairly well-known family name. If they moved to another kingdom, surely William would hear their names mentioned once or twice on each of his visits to other kingdoms. But every time William carried out his delegation to other kingdoms, he never heard Ashryver’s name at all. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
His father was not someone who could sit idly by. The man was the most ambitious person William had ever met. His expulsion from Northendell himself was the result of his greed. If only at that time his father had not insisted on taking Ronan’s position by saying that Ronan was still very young, maybe his father would still be one of the most influential duke in Norhendell.
"I have cut my ties with the family. I don’t know where they are no longer my business," William answered bitterly.
"I’m sorry, William. I didn’t meant to make you sad.."
"No, Your Majesty. Everyone already knows about it. I’m also not trying to cover up the crimes my family committed to Ronan."
"But... don’t you miss your younger siblings?"
Arielle always pay attention to William. Even though his attitude was almost similar to Lazarus, William has a big heart. William loved Aimee and Irene too. William always cared for Aimee and Irene like he cared for his own sisters.
"Honestly, I’m not very close with my sisters."
Arielle turned to William. The woman placed her hand on William’s shoulder who bowed down sadly.
"I mean... I’m almost like Kael and Aimee. I care about them but I’m busy with my own business. If I had known that we would be separated like this maybe I would have treated them better."
"William..."
William realized that Aimee and Irene could never replace his siblings. But if it was true that his family had left this continent, then William would never be able to see his family again.
Willam does not have the strength of a Lazarus to cross the ocean. It is also proven that even ships from other continents are rarely able to make it across.
Arielle’s and William’s gaze fell on the figures of the brothers and sisters who entered the ship holding hands. Arielle couldn’t see clearly her brother’s face but she could feel jealousy as well as William.
Arielle and Archie have a great relationship now. The two also exchange letters frequently but they don’t have a good past. Archie is one of his older siblings who bullies her quite often.
"Your Majesty, pardon me if I ask personal questions. Please don’t answer if my question makes you uncomfortable."
Arielle chuckled.
"William, Ronan is not here let’s just be casual like normal friends. I’ve started asking you about your personal affair first. You are free to ask anything too."
"Is it true? Can it be like that, Your Majesty?"
Arielle came closer to whisper in William’s ear. "Because we are friends, you can just call me Ari."
"Just Ari?" asked William confusedly.
"I mean... I want you to call me Arielle but we’re on a secret mission right? You can call me with Ari as a substitute for Arielle for now."
"Errr... Your Highness, I don’t think I can do that."
"Please do it, William. I don’t have too many friends in Northendell. Only Ronan has called my name, Irene and Sasha have already gone to the academy and without anyone calling my name it feels very lonely."
William was touched by what his queen said. But... even though he wanted it too, his courage wasn’t that great.
"What if Ronan finds out?" William asked in a half whisper. Hope no one heard their conversation.
"Ronan wouldn’t know. That man is not with us now."
"Um... for that..."
"William I beg you..." asked Airelle while rubbing her palms together. William rushed to hold Arielle’s hands so she wouldn’t beg him. A queen may not bow her head to someone of lower status.
"Hhh.. alright. But this only applies if Ronan is not around."
Ronan was indeed his best friend. William also greatly respected the man as a king. Ronan’s orders were absolute but they had to be put on hold when Arielle asked. Again, William thought who could refuse a good woman like Arielle? The answer is none.
Therefore, William prefers to accept Arielle’s request rather than respecting his old friend, Ronan.
"Yeah... I’m glad to hear that. After this, I’ll just make Lucas also call my name."
William suppressed a smile seeing the queen’s enthusiastic face.
"Well, for that one guy I think you’re going to have a hard time. Lucas is the most difficult person to be casual with." William answered.
"Well, we don’t know until we try!" Arielle answered by placing her hands on her waist making William laugh at the adorable behavior of the woman in front of him.
Arielle didn’t know what made William laugh. But at least after making the man feel awkward with questions about his family before, Arielle felt relieved.
"So, what do you want to ask?" asked Arielle after waiting for William to finish laughing.
"Oh, right. I wanted something earlier."
Arielle nodded still waiting for a question from William.
"So, I want to ask. I’m still confused about how you could forgive your brother, Archie, so easily. I mean... Archie is one of those jerks who makes you suffer, right?"
"Hmm... why is that?" Arielle held her chin wonderingly. "Perhaps... because he has sincerely apologized."
"Just because of that?"
"Yup. Just because of that. Even if Alexis was still alive. And he wants to apologize to me sincerely I will also forgive him."
"Are you serious?" asked William dumbfoundedly.
"Yup. Without hesitation."
William looked at Arielle one more time. Still amazed. He couldn’t believe there was someone as good as Arielle. However, after he noticed Arielle seemed really serious with his words.
A man sitting near the table suddenly stiffened when he accidentally heard a name he had not heard for a long time.
"Simon, I’ve found a more spacious place to rest. Let’s go there, "invited a girl dragging his stiffen body to go away.
