The Werewolf King's Bride

(From Blue's Perspective)

Dem went to talk to the King of Mazazine the next morning. We did not want to waste any time.

He had been in a bad mood the whole time and still had not gotten over the fact that Evan sent me those reports. His worry that Evan might be in love with me was quite baseless.

First of all, Evan and I knew about each other, but we did not spend much time together. Knowing someone and spending time with that person were very important to like someone. Secondly, after getting to know him, I knew that he was not the type of person who would aim for someone who was already in a relationship or married. And thirdly, not all men would fall for me.

Just because Ezekiel had liked me, he kept thinking that other men would like me romantically too.

Evan had a reason why he sent me those reports; I believed he wanted to show that he trusted me. It was important for us to trust each other completely if we wanted to work together against the dark mage who we believed was my biological father.

When I was going to take a break from work, the same mage who Evan sent last time appeared again. She brought yet another letter.

"Tell your lord that it has made me upset that he sent me a one line letter. It was rather disrespectful since we are not friends. Even friends don't do that," I said to her.

"I will do so, Your Highness."

"You can go now, then."

"Yes," she bowed. "I will take my leave."

"Another letter from that man or whatever?" Perita asked.

"Hmm…"

"Is he the one sending Your Highness reports on the war?"

"Yes," I replied, not paying mind to her much. I was more focused on opening the envelope.

This time, it was not a one-line letter. Last time, it made me very angry. Reports were alright, but a letter with only one line? That was just too much, especially when they were winning.

Dear Blue, Oh, I think King Demetrius will be angry if I call you that. So, I will go with 'Hey there'. What about it?

You must be angry that I sent you a one-line letter yesterday. Haha, I did it on purpose. I wanted to get you angry and then surprise you with the reports.

By now, you must have found out that the reports are not false and we are indeed winning. If everything goes smoothly as planned, we will win within a week or two. Or, maybe sooner than that, who knows? Perhaps I can kill the King and the Queen before the week passes if I am lucky.

You have done the job perfectly in Lacuna, I heard. I thought it would end there, but I did not know you would kill the King of Lacuna as well. No one suspects you either. It seems you are not as innocent as I thought you are, or perhaps this new environment has changed you. If King Demetrius doesn't have an effect on you, that will be funny.

Anyway, I don't care about that. I did not have a good relationship with the current King of Lacuna as well. He was too stubborn and a little dumb. I do not know the current Queen of Lacuna much. I have met her a few times, but that's it. It was just formal meetings.

But Querencia will have a good relationship with Lacuna now. After all, everyone knows that Queen Laetitia used to fancy King Demetrius. Who knows, perhaps she still likes him just as much as before, if not more?

Well, I am not here to chat about that. It's just I got some free time and wanted to write to my friend.

I also heard that you were sick; you caught that contagious fever, right? How are you now? My spy reported to me that it lasted ten days. Actually, I know that you are well now. That's why I sent you a letter after you got better. After all, how can you read those reports if you are sick?

I am glad that you are okay now, no sarcasm; it is a genuine remark. Again, I do not like you romantically. This is my worry as a friend for a friend. So, make sure King Demetrius doesn't misunderstand. I don't want him to be my enemy.

I don't have any romantic interest in a married woman.

Let's talk about the war a bit. This is probably the most fun war I have been to. Wars are of course not fun. They are stressing. I don't like wars at all. I just want to stay at home and rest; I don't like to work either.

But that is not something I follow since I am a King. You feel the same, right?

You know why I call this war 'fun'? Because the army of Ataraxia is not that good. Some of them are skilled as they are supposed to be, but the majority of the knights are too dumb. I guess my knights are just too skilled. Either way, winning is almost confirmed.

Oh, I completely forgot to mention the reason I sent you the letters. I think you guessed it already.

Yes, I have sent them because I wanted to show you that I trust you. It is important if we work together, right? I could not miss the opportunity to prove so when I got the chance.

Make sure to tell King Demetrius that it is all because I wanted to prove this, nothing more. I am sure he is assuming weird things.

Rather than that, I wish you two a happy life together. So, if you two have a child, introduce me as his uncle. I have always wanted to be one.

That will be all for today. Stay safe (This is a normal thing that should be said at the end of a letter. I don't mean anything else. Do not let King Demetrius assume things).

And by the way, I am waiting for the order to break the war.

Yours, Evan

"This one seems longer than the one before," Perita muttered. "What did he say?"

"Just regular things," I mumbled. "But what does he mean by I killed the King of Lacuna? I myself am looking for the real culprit. He is assuming things, or does he want to know what I know about the case?"

Perhaps Evan said this so I would tell him what I knew about the case. But should he not know more about the case? After all, Trouvaille was known for having skilled spies. They were even required to commit suicide in case they got caught. Even, Dem had to admit that they were rather skillful.

Or did he truly think I killed the King of Lacuna?

'I don't care what he thinks. He can assume whatever he wants to. I am not sending a letter to correct him. And why does he know that we are planning to break the war? Did he assume it?'

'More than that, I now know that we have one week in hand. Dem said he can surely bring the agreement paper from Mazazine. Then, all that will be left is Lacuna's agreement. He can do that too, he said. But… I don't want him to meet the Queen of Lacuna, at least, not alone."

'What if she still likes him? Well, he likes me, so it should be fine. But she is beautiful… and sexy too. I am not the sexy type; I know it very well. What if she uses her charm to get my husband? But other women don't have any effect on him.

To him, I am the only beautiful person. But… he is not blind. And she is more beautiful than me. What if by any chance he takes a liking to her? My husband is hot and handsome whereas she is beautiful and sexy. They match very well.

Ugh! I cannot let that happen! I don't care even if he doesn't like her. I am not letting him go alone to meet that woman!'

"Your Highness, why are you pulling your hair? Do you want to go bald?" Perita asked, taking my hands away from my hair and patting them.

"Perita, tell me the truth."

"Yes?"

"Do you think Dem likes me?"

"Well, you can ask anyone that; the answer will always be the same. His Highness loves Your Highness," she replied.

"Does he like me enough to not like any other woman?"

"Not just women, His Highness doesn't like anyone else other than Your Highness. I think people disgust him if it is not Your Highness. But are you worried about this?"

"… He really won't like even if there is a more beautiful person than me?"

"No, His Highness is not that type of person. Besides, I think Your Highness is the most beautiful person from inside and out."
