Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 356: Do You Need A Personal Assistant?
Sasha’s tears fell when he remembered how gentle Arielle and Tania took care of him when he starved. The princess did not scold him because he ate messily.
Even the next day, when he tried to steal valuable things from the cathedral using the princess’ name, she forgave him easily. Maybe if it was someone else, Sasha would have been beaten to death.
Sasha also recollected his short, terrible trip to the South. To protect the princess, Sasha sacrificed himself to be beaten and tortured by the royal family.
He was scared to death, but his will to protect the princess was far greater than the fear. That was why he didn’t lose hope until finally he could return home to Northendell safely.
Sasha’s bravery paid off. The king gifted him an apprentice knight status. Tears were still flowing in his cheeks, but a proud smile etched on his lips right now. He would never forget those memories, and he promised to come back as the best knight ever.
Sasha had seen how the princess studied hard to fulfill her role as a Queen of Northendell, and he would not lose. Sasha would prove to everyone that he was worthy of the status of an apprentice knight by becoming the best graduate from the academy.

Arielle returned to her room. So did Tania and Lucas. She reached for the book she had read before. The room was so quiet that she forgot the time. After she moved to her new room, her room became very spacious and there were no more rabbits roaming around as usual.
Ronan had made a cage for them. Besides, keeping the rabbits in the room could sometimes be troublesome.
The serene atmosphere made Arielle so focused that she didn’t realize that someone came to her room. When Arielle flipped the page, muscular arms imprisoned Arielle’s body from the back.
"It’s late. Why haven’t you taken a rest?" Ronan asked in a whisper.
Arielle closed her book and looked back.
"You’re not resting either?" she asked.
Ronan shook his head slowly. He let Arielle go and sat on the couch with her after planting a kiss on the girl’s temple.
"I thought after talking to Sasha, you would cry again. So I stopped by to check on you."
Arielle put her book away and rested her head against the man’s chest. Ronan then reached out his hand to hug the girl’s shoulder.
"Of course I’m sad. It’s just... after seeing Sasha looked happy tonight, I have no reason to be drowned in sorrow. Besides, Sasha will also come to our wedding, right?"
Ronan nodded in agreement. He had also allowed Arielle to invite Sasha as she pleased after the boy returned to his parents’ residence. Even if tomorrow Arielle wanted to invite Sasha too, Ronan had no problem.
For him, Arielle’s happiness was the most important thing for him because the girl was the source of his happiness, so he wanted to give everything to Arielle.
"Ariel. There’s one thing I want to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Do you need a personal assistant?"
"A personal assistant?"
Arielle didn’t know if she needed a personal assistant or not. In the past, her sister had two to three personal assistants. Arielle wasn’t sure if she needed that. So far, Tania and Lucas helped her and everything was going well.
Ah, but Lucas’ task wasn’t always to help her. The man had other duties, and helping her was a side task Ronan assigned. Tania was also very old. The woman could handle Arielle’s needs indeed, but Arielle couldn’t depend on Tania forever.
"What are their tasks?" Arielle asked. If she could still do the work herself, Arielle thought she wouldn’t really need a personal assistant.
"Manage your schedule, make sure your meal arrives at the time you want, make appointments with people, help you choose clothes or jewelry, and so on."
"Um... I’m not sure if I need it right now or not. But is there someone you want to introduce me to?"
"To be honest, I didn’t think about this at all until yesterday William asked about it. William said Kael’s little sister might suit you."
"Kael has a sister?"
Ronan nodded. "I don’t know how she is right now. I heard she graduated from the academy and tried to avoid the engagement her family set up for her several times."
Annelise also did that before. Her sister had run away from the palace when she was seventeen because she heard their father was going to marry her off to a duke.
Arielle didn’t know for sure, but she heard the duke was quite young but... not very handsome in Annalise’s eyes.
Annelise refused the betrothal because she thought Andrea should have been married off first. However, their father had other plans. The king planned to offer Andrea to the Wolgast crown prince, but his plan failed.
Until finally, the crown prince ascended the throne in place of his father, King Hugo did not have the opportunity to introduce the man to Andrea.
Annelise was disappointed in her father’s plan, so she left the palace and stayed at her maternal family’s residence. A few weeks later, Alexis came to pick her up and said Archie had taken care of her engagement. Since then, no one knew the whereabouts of the young Duke, and Annelise was free from the burden.
Remembering it made Arielle’s body shiver.
"I think if she is Lord Kael’s younger sister, I can meet her first. But I don’t want to force her. If she doesn’t want to do it, I’m fine."
"I think she’ll like you," said Ronan.
Ronan didn’t know Aimee’s appearance right now. It had been more than ten years since he had seen the girl. The last time Ronan met her was before Aimee went to the academy.
The girl cried while cursing Lazarus to become an otter. Aimee was quite fat at that time, with chubby cheeks like Crimson’s.
Besides that, Aimee was also a tomboy. She hated men, but not as extreme as Miss Dressrosa. She also often practiced swordsmanship with Kael, so the child was far from graceful.
However, William said that Aimee had changed. Ronan believed in William’s judgment. If William thought Aimee would be suitable as Arielle’s lady-in-waiting, then Ronan would arrange time for the two to meet.
"I want to meet her first."
Ronan nodded.
