Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 482: What Arielle Really Wanted By Lifting Ronan’s Curse
"Snowdrop? There is a lot in Priest Louise’s garden. I can bring it for you."
"No, Ronan. Red snowdrop. It is a rare flower that symbolizes both of them. The snowdrop flower for Princess Cecil and the red color representing Amadea. And to reach that place, I have to master my power first. After Amadea’s curse is lifted, then I can take back his heart. You do know where the eternal flames are, right?"
"Thebis," Ronan replied.
"Yes, in Thebis. But before that, my current mission is to find the red snowdrop."
The red snowdrop was one of the mystical plants of Birwick Mountain. In the past, around the lake near Arielle’s hut, there were quite a lot of red snowdrops. However, since Amadea’s flames devoured almost the entire forest on Birwick Mountain, the red snowdrops were no longer found. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Why did Arielle need the red snowdrop flower?
Because the curse received by all the descendants of Northendell’s first king, King Theodore, was a curse in the form of anger from Amadea. The only way to calm Amadea’s soul left on earth was through Princess Cecil.
However, Princess Cecil had her own grudge against the descendants of King Theodore. She died with the flames of her anger burning her body, and the red snowdrop flower was Princess Cecil’s favorite flower, which was often given by Amadea.
Once every fourteen nights, Princess Cecil’s soul would visit the nearby park to meet Amadea’s soul. It was a forbidden area that no one could visit, including the dragon clan, who were in control of this area.
"And you will find the whereabouts of the flower then meet Princess Cecil’s soul who was left behind and calm her down. After that, my curse is suddenly lifted?"
"Um... I’m sure there are other stages besides that. Now, I need to find the flower first."
"Arielle, I’m sorry. But if I’m allowed to speak the truth, what you have said sounded... weird. No offense, but I became a little doubtful after hearing that."
"Ronan, look at you now..."
Ronan frowned and looked at himself. He still didn’t understand what Arielle meant. The girl slowly walked over to him then knelt in front of Ronan while gently holding the man’s hand.
"It’s a full moon night, isn’t it? Yet... you are still in your human form."
Ronan looked at his body once more. Yes, he was indeed in his human form after making an agreement with Amadea in his subconscious. The tendril tattoo with the small sun on his wrist was still visible.
"You can return in your human form because Amadea let go of his anger tonight. Amadea’s curse, which is a form of consciousness, is still connected to the remaining soul of his. He still wants Princess Cecil to be with him. Only with Princess Cecil, Amadea will forget everything. One of it is his anger."
"Thus, when you were far from me, he desperately looked for me because I carried a little bit of Princess Cecil’s scent through the snowdrop last time. He missed his mate, and look... in order to be able to smell Princess Cecil’s scent again, he is willing to let you go..."
Ronan nodded in understanding now. He looked at his wife who was full of hope.
"You really want me to be free from my curse, Arielle?’
Arielle was now back on her feet. She took Ronan’s hands to wrap around her body, and she hugged the man’s head, which was leaning on her stomach.
"I’m your wife, Ronan. I know everything you feel. I can see your sadness every time you have to go to the underground prison. I can also see your fear."
"I’m not afraid of anything," replied Ronan, making Arielle chuckle.
Arielle cupped her husband’s face to look up at her. "Ronan, I know you’re still afraid of yourself." She rubbed the long wound on the man’s face and kissed it gently.
"Even though I told you a million times that you were a handsome man, I could see the bitterness in your eyes. You still don’t dare to look at your own face without a mask, Ronan. And as a wife, I want to help let go of those bitterness because you’ve helped me a lot. Now, it’s my turn to repay you."
"Arielle..."
"And one more thing besides that!" Arielle continued before Ronan got up. She pushed the man’s body back to sit down again.
"I’m sorry if I’m wrong, but I think you’re starting to like children and expect them to be present in your life. It’s just... the trauma in your past is holding you back."
Ronan was speechless. What Arielle said was absolutely true. Not wrong at all. After spending time with Sasha and Crimson, he had imagined what it felt like to have a child. Ronan wanted to be called papa too, but he wasn’t ready if one of his children had to bear the same curse as him.
"I’ve always wanted to tell you this, Arielle. But I don’t have the courage to talk about it. Yes, I want a child, but I am afraid that they will share the curse that I carry."
Arielle hugged her husband tightly. "And here I am. You have fulfilled my dream of becoming a woman worthy of love. Now, it’s my turn to make your dreams come true, Ronan. After I remove your curse, no matter how many children you want, I will give them to you."
Ronan hugged Arielle’s hips very tightly and buried his face in his wife’s stomach.
"I want ten," the man mumbled, making Arielle laugh.
"You can make them?"
"You doubt my stamina, Arielle? It’s still night, right? Let’s try to make one first, and you will know my true power."

Before the dawn, where there was a faint purple color on the eastern horizon, Arielle rushed to take Ronan where they met.
Along the way, Arielle tried to tell Ronan about the sacred place where she met Amadea and Princess Cecil’s soul for the first time.
