Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 391: The Unexpected Meeting

"I-I will remember, Lord Gipp," Arielle replied. She couldn’t break the hopes of a father.

Duke Gipp smiled pleasantly at that. "Ah, I am so happy now."

"But ... It might take quite some time," Arielle added, who didn’t want to give the old man false hope.

Lord Gipp smiled broadly. "It’s all right, Your Highness. I’m not in a hurry either. I feel relieved now that there are people around Lazarus that I can trust."

It was not that Gipp Perez underestimated Lazarus’ three friends. It was just... Ronan was too indifferent when it came to personal affairs. William had more or less the same habits as Lazarus, so he couldn’t really trust William. And Kael... hm.. that guy rarely spoke, so he didn’t dare to ask Kael for help.

Gipp had also asked Ronan for help, but Ronan almost never had a party at the palace other than his birthday party, so it was difficult for Gipp to find a future wife for Lazarus.

"Ah... alright," Arielle replied awkwardly.

Elsewhere, Aimee was talking to Lucas, who was tidying up some files. Even though Aimee had only met Lucas for two days, she believed she could trust the man. Lucas was the type of man who was innocent and trustworthy, so Aime didn’t have to worry about being around him.

"Is there any food that Princess Arielle doesn’t like?" Aimee asked.

Lucas shook his head. "I believe no, Princess Arielle is not a picky eater. She will accept whatever is provided. Sometimes Tania will even take the initiative to heat her food when it’s cold because Princess Arielle has absolutely no problem eating cold food."

"Is that true?" Aimee asked, while helping to arrange some papers.

Lucas nodded. "Princess Arielle will never trouble others. She will wear the clothes that have been provided, eat whatever has been prepared, or do whatever has been scheduled."

He added with a chuckle, "Even at her first visit to the North, I heard that she almost worked at the Cathedral."

He remembered how panicked Priest Elis was when the princess asked him to let her work in the Cathedral. Lucas gave a book to Aimee. The book contained all reports on the use of cathedral funds made by the previous queens. Priest Elis said that the princess needed it to study.

"Please give this to Princess Arielle, Aimee," Lucas said.

"Thank you, but Princess Arielle still has guests. Maybe I’ll put it straight to her library?"

"Then, we can go there together. I also have to check out the new table that His Majesty the King has reserved for Princess Arielle."

Lucas also offered to help Aimee bring the reports. Along the way, the two of them talked a lot about the relationship between the king and the princess.

Lucas said from their first meeting, the two had a strange attraction because he had never seen his king become so gentle with a woman. Even though at the beginning Ronan was cold, there were always exceptions when it came to the princess.

"So, when the two announced their plan to get married, I wasn’t too surprised," Lucas said, making Aimee laugh.

"Madam?"

Aimee stopped in her place in surprise.

"Ugh... the germ has come," Aimee mumbled with a frown on her forehead, feeling disgusted at seeing Lazarus waving at her.

"Miss Aimee?" Lucas called, who was confused as to why the girl had stopped walking.

"Whoa... Madam!! Are you the new maid here? Niceeeee... it is definitely a fate for us to meet again." Lazarus was so excited to see the first girl who hit him until he fell to the ground.

Lucas looked at the two in confusion. Aimee was Kael’s little sister, but why was Lazarus acting as if he didn’t recognize his friend’s sister?

Aimee rushed to leave that place.

"Come on Lucas, we need to get back before Princess Arielle’s meeting ends."

"Ah, alright," Lucas replied, keeping up with Aimee’s wide steps.

Lazarus was still following the two at a leisurely wide pace. He kept calling her and asking her name because he wanted to get acquainted with.

"Lord Lazarus!" Aimee exclaimed, making Lazarus surprised.

"Oh, me? You know my name?" Lazarus asked in surprise. The man thought for a moment to recollect his memories.

Could Aimee be one of the women he dumped in the past? However, he didn’t remember there was a woman as beautiful as Aimee before... Ah, he didn’t really care. Maybe he was too famous, he thought. "Yes, Madam? Is there anything I can help with?"

"Can you get out of my sight? I just want to work peacefully here," Aimee said, making Lazarus’ wide smile turn to stone.

She left Lazarus, who was glued to the spot. Lucas was in an awkward position. He wanted to calm Aimee down, but he couldn’t leave Lazarus, who looked so shocked at the expulsion from Aimee just now.

"Miss Aimee!" Wait for me!" Lucas called. He chose to leave Lazarus and followed Aimee, who looked angry.

Hearing the name Lucas called made Lazarus’ heart crack. "Ai... mee?"

Duke Gipp walked behind Arielle. When the two were at the front of the reception room, the man bowed respectfully to Arielle.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness. You have taken the time to listen to this old man’s venting," Duke Gipp said with a smile.

"With pleasure, Lord Gipp. Don’t you want to wait a little longer to talk or meet with Lazarus?"

Lord Gipp waved his hand. "No, thank you, Your Highness. Lazarus certainly won’t like my presence here. That kid always accuses me of forcing him to come home."

"No way. Lazarus is a good man. Of course, he wants to meet his father, too."

Duke Gipp laughed quite loudly at Arielle’s answer. It wasn’t that he underestimated Arielle’s trust in Lazarus, but Duke Gipp knew his son well. Lazarus would never want to meet him for such petty matters. That kid would only meet him when there was something important.

Duke Gipp was one of the nobles who often came to the palace to follow the palace’s monthly agenda. He had heard a lot about the king’s fiancée. However, he didn’t think that the future queen of Northendell was so naïve.
