Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 771: Maxieno’s Warning

Arielle is still crying since Tania left. The woman sat on her faithful husband’s lap waiting. It took a long time for Arielle to calm down.

Because Tania is the closest figure to Arielle. And after Tania’s departure back to Nieverdell, Arielle will not know the latest news from Tania again if they don’t send letters to each other. Arielle couldn’t examine Tania with her own eyes neither.

But what saddens Arielle the most is that no one will hear all of her outpourings. Ronan would of course have listened to all of Arielle’s complaints, but pouring out her heart to Tania was much more reassuring. Because sometimes she was still afraid to bother Ronan with her own trivial matters.

Ronan already has a big responsibility on his shoulder. Arielle had promised to be present to lighten the burden but if Arielle came with the problem again then it would be the same as Airelle not lightening Ronan’s burden at all.

Therefore Tania is a very influential figure for Arielle. Tania will just listen and then give some input to Arielle. And Arielle had been holding it in for some time. Arielle has tried to be strong and today is the day when Arielle can no longer contain her feelings.

"After from Thebis, let’s visit Tania in Nieverdell. You don’t have to wait for Irene to come back from the academy. I can’t see you suffer like this," Ronan whispered on top of Arielle’s head, still hugging his wife tightly.

Arielle shook her head still sobbing. "It doesn’t matter. I’m fine. I-I just need a moment. Hiks, I-I’ll be back as usual," answered the woman in between her cries.

Ronan nodded while stroking Arielle’s back lovingly.

"You didn’t even cry like this when you parted with me at Birwick," the man teased making Arielle couldn’t help but laugh with her face wet with tears.

"Because that time I knew I would come back to you. As for Tania... Tania and I will no longer live in the same place," said Arielle.

"Oooh... I understand."

Arielle wiped her tears briefly. "What do you understand?" Ask Arielle.

Ronan just smiled. Arielle frowned in confusion when Ronan didn’t say anything.

"You don’t have to think about it. I’m just teasing you," Ronan said, pinching Arielle’s blushing cheeks.

Ronan kissed his wife’s hot cheek. He felt it was enough for Arielle to cry. Not that he wanted to forbid Arielle to hold back her feelings but he didn’t want his wife to get tired from crying all the time. Arielle’s beautiful eyes had long been red and slowly swelling from crying too much.

Arielle also wiped the traces of tears on her face. She thanked Ronan who had faithfully waited for her to calm down. Maybe if there wasn’t that man Arielle might still be crying alone in her room.

"Ronan, thank you for accompanying me. Sorry to have to make you wait and watch me crying like this."

Ronan smoothed Arielle’s loose hair. "I’m used to seeing you crying, in different situation of course. Nothing new," replied the man.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Don’t you have an important meeting after this?" Arielle asked, just remembering that Ronan had another important meeting with several lords from the border region.

"Really? Hm... I don’t remember," Ronan replied, pretending to forget his responsibilities so he could spend more time with Arielle.

"Yes! I remember! You yourself said last night that you had an important meeting. You want to strengthen the border area before we go to Thebis, right?"

Ronan pretended to think deeply.

"Ah ... if there was an important meeting William would have been looking for me a long time ago. It’s okey, we still have some times to kill."

Arielle shook her head disapprovingly. "You have to get up!" she ordered.

She pulled Ronan’s arm so that the man stood up and then Arielle pushed Ronan’s body from behind making the man chuckle. Ronan was taking his mask which he put on the table when Arielle pushed him across the table.

"You can’t be like this. You must be ahead of your kingdom’s interests, Ronan!" said Arielle.

Ronan stopped near the door then turned around. The man gave Arielle a sad look.

"Arielle, but you’re everything to me. You don’t remember what happened to me when I couldn’t get in touch for a month? If you want me to be able to focus on carrying out my duties to take care of the kingdom then help me by being happy and always by my side."

"Ronan..."

Ronan bent down to give Arielle a gentle kiss on both of her cheeks.

"Then don’t be sad anymore. I can understand why you feel sad. Tania is a very close person to you. But if you are sad then I will never be able to concentrate on work."

Arielle hugged her husband slowly.

"Sorry, I’ve made you worry. But after crying just now, I feel much better. Once again, thank you. I will rest for now then resume my duties."

Ronan gave his wife a last kiss then left the room to continue the important meeting he left behind.

Arielle took a break to tidy herself up again. She won’t be lonely, Aimee will be back in three days after taking care of her new school. Aimee is really serious about her goals. She wants to create a new school that is more inclusive for all people. Teaches some of the more advanced subjects. Not just basic knowledge.

Arielle returns to see Maxieno.

Maxineo raised his eyebrows seeing Arielle’s messy face.

"Domestic violence?" asked Maxieno who suddenly started the conversation.

"Domestic violence? What does it mean?" asked Arielle back confusedly.

Maxieno sighed but returned to his silence on his throne.

"Hm... Maxineo, may I ask a question? This is very important to me. If you think we are friends, you will help me Maxineo."

"Human, you sure don’t know your place, huh? If you want me to think of you as a friend, then do your job," said Maxieno.

Arielle grinned. "Ah... you make me a little hurt. But it’s okay. I can understand your disappointment. I also feel the same way."

"Are you disappointed too?"

"Yup."

"With yourself?" Maxieno asked.

Arielle nodded again.

Maxieno looked a bit taken aback by Arielle’s answer.

What makes you disappointed in yourself?"

"Hm... because I can’t do my job properly. I haven’t been able to fulfill my promise to you. Besides... I am at a weird situation right now. Like, i can reach something bigger but i don’t know the way."

Arielle was talking about the Northendell’s curse. It feels like every information she got was telling her to do something but she didn’t know how.

"Dead end?"

"Yup."

Arielle just told that. It’s clear that Maxieno is still curious, but Arielle deliberately doesn’t tell Maxieno. The red-haired man sat back down casually. He just stared at Arielle for a while and then disappeared.

"Fine, I’ll tell you. My husband and I will be visiting another kingdom in one week. I want to find a way to solve this Northendell curse. And... the dragon clan from Thebis tried to contact me from a member of the Thebis kingdom."

"The dragon clan of Thebis?" Maxieno asked dissaprovingly.

"Yes. There are several names in the past that the people of Northendell have never heard of because it seems that the people of Northendell have erased a lot of history and replaced it with their new history."

"Typical humans and their weak hearts."

Arielle waited for Maxieno to speak again. This is also probably the last time Arielle will contact Maxieno for some time to come.

"Long ago, the dragon clan in Thebis was descended from the dragon clan in Birwick. But their ancestors had made a mistake. I don’t want to say it. But it has something to do with your ancestry as well. The Birwick dragon clan will never forget that betrayal."

"Betrayal? C-can you tell me more, Maxieno?" she begged.

Maxieno smirked cunningly. "The Thebis dragon clan is the cunning group of dragons. I will never think of them as dragons. They are just treacherous sneaky lizards. Arielle, if you meet them you’ll be able to see why I hate them too. The trickery of those lizards can destroy you if you not careful enough.."

Arielle stretched out her hand trying to hold Maxieno off but the man just disappeared. Arielle woke up with a gasp. Ronan, as usual, was already at Arielle’s side while tending to the wound that Arielle had made to meet with Maxieno.

"Ronan, Maxineo spoke this time. But I don’t think you going to like what Maxieno said say."

Ronan stopped treating Arielle to wait for his wife’s explanation.

"What’s that?"

"Maxieno said... if we were to be thorough then we would be able to see just how great the trickery of the lizards... ah, no, I mean the Thebis dragon clan. Somehow I have a feeling that we should be more careful when we meet the dragon clan in Thebis later."

Ronan was silent for a moment. Ronan always had a bad feeling from the start. Princess Cecillia’s notebook is with the dragons of Thebis clan and they also really want to meet Arielle.

"We will continue to meet with them. I’ll take care of you," said Ronan to reassure his wife once again.
