Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 794: A Conversation With Prince Khaled

"Calm down. That man would not dare to harbor more feelings." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

William even had to hold Ronan’s arm, so the man didn’t try to march forwards. He only released his grip when Ronan had calmed down a bit and a Thebis guard passed before them. It seemed they were on their last patrol before reaching the land.

"Arielle, I have received a report that you gave your room to one of the passengers on the ship. I’ve wanted to ask about this, but have always been reluctant to approach you first."

"Yes, I met Peach on this ship. We got to know each other during the journey. And I offered my room for her to share with her brother. Poor her, she was still a child, yet had to sleep with dozens of grown men below. I couldn’t bear seeing it."

"Ah, I see... That is also the report I received. It’s a shame that this is just an ordinary merchant ship, so the number of rooms is quite limited. And it’s already filled with some wealthy merchants who can afford to rent rooms."

"It doesn’t matter. I’m with William and Lucas. We’re okay. They are very understanding."

Prince Khaled turned to Arielle’s servant who was always ready whenever the Queen needed him. If he remembered correctly, the man’s name was Lucas.

"Oh, while we wait at the inn later, I’ll inform my aunt that you’ve arrived in Thebis. So she can make some preparations."

"Thank you, Prince Khaled. Princess Zohra has done a lot for my journey this time."

Prince Khaled smiled faintly. The man faced forward again, towards the mainland of the kingdom he often left. He wasn’t a prominent prince. Hence, he could only hold out to survive in this world. If not, perhaps he would be neglected like the rest of his brothers.

This was also for the sake of his sister, who had chosen to live simply on the outskirts of the kingdom with an ordinary man. His father, the King, had too many wives and children to know for sure who their mother was.

Prince Khaled only wanted the kingdom that slowly crumbled on the inside to change for the better. And his aunt said that she met a woman who might be able to change the future of Thebis. In a better path, of course.

"Arielle, you are really special."

"Hm?"

Arielle turned towards the Prince. She didn’t understand why the man suddenly said that.

"Ahaha, I didn’t mean anything. It’s just that when I first met you at Northendell Palace, I immediately knew that you were a special person like my aunt said."

Prince Khaled momentarily fell silent before he continued, "The land in Thebis is getting more and more coarse, and for some reason, the temperature is also increasing every day. The priests are in a difficult situation as the water they draw from the earth’s core is getting less and less each day."

Arielle understood. The situation in Thebis was almost the same as Northendell. Day by day, the temperature in Northendell was dropping low, and many citizens failed to open their mana flow. Thus, the number of priests who could emit heat was getting less and less each day.

Arielle doubted they would survive another generation if the curse wasn’t broken.

"Prince Khaled, does... Thebis have mythical stories related to the current condition?"

"Hmm... not much."

Arielle listened intently. The story that Prince Khaled told, she had read about it before. There was nothing new that could be used as a clue.

It seemed Arielle had to wait until she met the dragon clan of Thebis in person. She was sure they must have a lot of information about the curse, as well as about Princess Cecillia. Seeing Princess Cecillia’s memoir was in their hands.

Arielle couldn’t wait to meet them. But then, she suddenly remembered Maxieno’s warning not to trust the dragons of Thebis too much.

"Prince, khaled. I heard from Princess Zohra that only a few royalty can meet the dragons in Thebis?" asked Arielle in a lower voice not wanting to be heard by anyone.

"Yes. We couldn’t meet them without their approval. I also don’t know what shape they are. The only ones who have met them are the king, Princess Zohra, the crown prince as well as the late queen who died long ago."

The group of dragons residing in Thebis are closely related to the royal family. If in Northendell they hate each other between the dragon clan as well as the royal family. Their relationship is still very thin and easily broken at any time if Arielle is not careful to keep Maxieno in good mood.

"They are mythical creatures to some. Even because it was never seen, some princes and princesses never thought that dragons were real. But I was always near Princess Zohra, sometimes I accompanied her even though I was never given a chance to peek."

"They live far from the Thebis’s palace?"

"Yes, quite. The hottest desert is where they settled. Princess Zohra said they had very thick skins so the heat wouldn’t be a problem for them. Also, some say they are beings who guard the eternal flames."

"Oh, the one the anti-paramythians are trying to put out?" asked Arielle.

"Correct. They are an extreme group that likes to sacrifice people to be put into the eternal flames so that they can extinguish the eternal flames. Usually ... they have characteristics like you," said Prince khaled, making Arielle uneasy.

"They never tried to put the fire out?"

Prince Khaled shrugged his shoulders. "I don’t know. But they didn’t stop the humans from trying to sacrifice other humans. All I know is they’re enjoying it."

"How do you know?"

"From Princess Zohra, my aunt."

Maybe the good impression that Arielle gave the Thebis dragons was a little off the mark. She had forgotten that the dragons in Tehbis came from the dragon clan as well which meant they instinctively thought they were much better than humans.

"Ah ... I see."

Arielle hugged her body which suddenly felt cold. Maybe it seemed like she really had to be careful with the Thebis dragons.

An escort of Thebis informs that the ship will stop shortly. Arielle and the others were asked to get ready.

"Nice talking to you, prince. I wish I had more time to share stories with you again."

Prince Khaled lowered his head to hide the blush on his face.

"Of course, Arielle. I’d be happy to do that."
