Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 124: Visiting The Captured Deer

Ronan let go of his hand so violently that Andrea almost stumbled to the ground. The woman stood still, gasping for air. She looked at the king’s back view who left her just like that.

Her face was flushed red.

"Cool ... he is so cool ... I want to have him ... I-I ... I want to have him," Andrea murmured to herself, touching her sore neck. Excitement filled her face as she smiled longingly.

Ronan rubbed his hands in disgust, his mood was getting worse after his meeting with Andrea. He needed Arielle. Before the man entered his study, he saw Arielle with her rabbits leaving the room. His tightly clenched jaw slowly relaxed more, and his lips broke into a wide smile.

When Arielle turned around, the man took off his mask and cupped the girl’s face. A long peck was pinned on Arielle’s lips from Ronan. The girl’s body stiffened when someone grabbed her tightly. When she realized that the man was the king, Arielle calmed down again.

"Have you had breakfast?" asked the man while stroking Arielle’s lips which were so soft.

"You surprised me, Your Majesty," replied Arielle.

Ronan chuckled and hugged the girl tightly. "Ah... this is better."

"Your Majesty, I heard that my bunnies broke into your study. I want to apologize."

"You don’t need to apologize. It was my fault for leaving them without giving them dinner."

Arielle stared at the five rabbits for a moment. Riel, the tiniest rabbit jumped at Ronan’s feet, making the man crouch down to pick him up. He remembered how violent Riel had been when he bit the blank paper in his office.

"What do you want to do today?"

"I wanted to visit the deer yesterday and make sure it’s okay. Then accompany Brother Alexis and Sister Andrea to their carriage before they go home. Then in the afternoon, Lucas said they would release the deer back into the forest."

"Let me accompany you."

"You’re not working?" asked Arielle, confused because she felt the man was too relaxed in living his day as a king of a big kingdom like Northendell.

"I can continue later. I want to be with you first."

Arielle’s face turned red, which made Ronan want to kiss her again. The man grabbed Arielle’s face and began to sip the sweetness from the girl’s lips. Arielle felt they had kissed too much in the morning, so she felt embarrassed. She pushed the man away.

"Your Majesty, I think we need to set a limit," Arielle said as she covered her lips so Ronan wouldn’t touch her again.

"Why?"

"You know it’s my first time telling someone about my feelings. Um ... I hope you can take it easy."

The man was fascinated to see Arielle’s red cheeks holding back embarrassment. He put Riel on his shoulder then cupped the girl’s entire cheek with both palms.

"I got it," he replied softly.

Ronan then gave his arm for Arielle to hold. After dropping Riel back, Ronan took Arielle to a field near the Colosseum. The stag that Ronan hunted yesterday were not placed in a cage but were left free in an empty land within the palace compound.

The two of them passed through the palace garden, the five little rabbits still following Arielle. The guards on guard saluted as the king and Princess Arielle passed them. They only returned to their feet after the group of rabbits that had followed the two of them left.

"Wow... am I seeing something wrong?" asked a guard to his friend who was standing in front of him. The man also raised his face to see the king and Princess Arielle, who had passed. His mouth opened, showing his admiration.

"I think His Majesty has really taken a liking to animals," his friend replied.

Arielle noticed several knights who were training in the field with Kael. After greeting them, Ronan took Arielle to a larger area. There was a horse there, and Arielle recognized it as the belonging of the king. The black horse with a long shiny mane always looked dashing every time Arielle saw it.

It seemed that it was a special stable area belonging to the king’s horse, as in the stable there were no other horses besides the black horse.

The stag from yesterday was resting under a dry tree without leaves. Its body was on the ground directly because the ground beneath it had been cleared of snow. The deer was biting a piece of dry hay when they approached.

Arielle carried the four rabbits so they wouldn’t get dirty, while Ronan chose to hold Riel when they got close to the deer. Ronan called out to a young man who had been standing far away. The young man ran quickly towards the king who called him.

"Good morning, Your Majesty. Can I help you?"

"This deer has been fed, right?" asked Ronan, pointing at the crouching stag resting its head on the ground.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We feed him alongside your horse."

Arielle turned to the young man and smiled briefly.

"Thank you for your hard work," said the girl with a friendly smile making the young man blush. The stable boy, who was in charge of guarding the cage, looked down quickly, feeling that it would be impolite to see the princess’s face.

"So, the deer can be immediately returned to the forest?"

"Eh? This deer will be returned to the forest?" asked the young man feeling confused because he thought the deer was a trophy the king had hunted.

"Isn’t that so, Your Majesty?" Arielle asked Ronan. Maybe the king had not conveyed his intention to return the deer so that the young man who kept the stable was confused.

"I’m just keeping it here for a day because, according to Princess Arielle, it’s best if the deer is returned to their natural habitat. That’s why I called you to make sure that the deer is in good condition without any injuries so that when it is returned to the forest, he won’t be traumatized," Ronan explained.

Arielle wanted to get closer to the deer. But if she got closer, the rabbits in her arms would be released and played on the ground.

Their fur was too white, if they walked on the ground, they would get dirty. It would definitely be troublesome for others to bathe them. Then who could be asked for help to hold the rabbits?

Arielle turned to the side, making Ronan stiffen. The girl was looking at him pleadingly. Her round eyes twinkled, asking for something. Why did he suddenly feel a bad premonition?

"Your Majesty, would you mind holding them for me?"

"Holding what?"

Ronan looked at the four rabbits sticking their heads in Arielle’s arms. The girl put on her coat to wrap them up so they wouldn’t move around much. He then noticed Riel, who was so calm in his arms.

"I already held one," Ronan said, trying to make Arielle aware that his hands were too full as he held Riel and also hugged the girl’s waist beside him.

Arielle grabbed the king’s hand to release her waist. With one hand, Arielle pulled the king’s red coat. She put the rabbits from her hands into the king’s arms one by one.

"Just a moment. Don’t let them fall to the ground, so they won’t get dirty."

Ronan stood still on the spot. Didn’t he just say that his hands were full? So, why was she transferring all her rabbits into his arms?
