Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 604: The Ancient Curse (Cecillia’s Point Of Views)

Me and the mysterious man whose name was still unknown arrived at a building. In front of me stood a tall building. Was that where I live? Was that the shape of the castle where I spend my time? I got away from the mysterious man and then walked towards the place.

I looked around and saw that there was a tree tied with a cloth as a sign for the entrance to the forest that I used to go through. I walked over to touch it, and it felt exactly the same as I always touched.

I counted the steps from there to the castle. It felt so quiet. Much quieter than before. There wasn’t a stranger’s voice that I heard nor was there the guards’ voice that I was used to hearing.

I entered and saw the whole shape of the castle that had become my home for seventeen years. I followed a rocky path. Around it was a garden consisting of rows of small pine trees, forming a line leading to a large door.

In that place, two men stood guarding the place. Maybe they knew me because when they looked this way, the two of them then ran over to approach me.

"Princess, you... where have you been?" asked a guard in a panicked tone.

They were looking for me? Did they also look for me at Mirai’s house?

They led me the way as they usually did. They still didn’t know that I had got my visions back now, and I didn’t have the chance to tell them because it seemed there was something urgent going on.

Their steps were quite fast and briskly. I looked back to search for someone. I had almost forgotten the existence of the mysterious man. He had disappeared without a trace. He wasn’t where I last saw him. Again, I hadn’t asked his name yet.

Then, I entered the castle where everyone was gathered. I wasn’t sure about all the foreign faces in the room. All I knew was that they were all my friends. Then, I recognized a voice that was now sobbing pitifully.

Several people stepped aside to let me in. They frowned as I looked them straight in the eye. In the middle of the room sat a woman, sobbing in a heartbreaking voice. From her clothes, she was a lady-in-waiting. The same as the people stood at the corners of the room. From the voice, I was sure it was Mirai’s voice.

What was Mirai doing here crying? Oh, yeah... I should have gone back to Mirai’s house first... was this my fault?

I stood face to face with a man and a woman. The man had the same hair color as me. It was the color of the moon. Then, he glared at me, making me feel anxious.

Father. I knew from the first glance that he was my father. A large man with a white beard and mustache covering half of his face. Beside him stood a woman who I believed was my mother.

"Cecil. Where have you been at a critical time like this!?" asked my father with a sharp tone.

My mother rubbed my father’s hand, maybe telling him to be patient.

"Sorry. I didn’t mean to make mother and father worry. I met a man-"

"A man!?" shouted my father, making me surprised.

At that moment, I immediately knew that I had made a fatal mistake. A mistake that I would always remember. Father grabbed Mirai right in front of me and slapped her hard. It was the first violence I saw. The blood that dripped from my lady-in-waiting lips was a silent warning so that I could learn about the consequences of my action.

At that time, I just stood in my place because I didn’t know that the visual of the world was... so terrifying.

"Father? Why did you do that to Mirai?"

At that moment, everyone knew that I was no longer blind. From the beginning, no one said that the woman before me was Mirai, and I said her name clearly. Mother gasped and looked at me in disbelief.

And suddenly, the room became noisy with whispering voices. Mother approached and asked me to leave the place with her. I touched the wall so I could remember the familiar feelings. Mother took me into another room to ask me the full story.

She interrogated me. I told her everything honestly. I didn’t lie when I said that I didn’t know the name of the man who helped me heal my eyes. No matter how much my mother asked and forced me to tell the truth, I couldn’t tell her because I didn’t know the man’s name from the start.

Not long after, father also appeared. He grabbed both of my shoulders much harder than what mother did. He also asked the same thing, and I calmly explained everything from the start without hiding anything, including the fact that I also didn’t know the name of the man who helped out despite having met him a few times.

Both of them still couldn’t believe that their daughter finally could see. They also called a healer to examine my eyes. They kept pushing me to tell the truth, even forcing me to show the place I met the man.

I didn’t know where the mysterious man had taken me. All I knew was that I was in the middle of a forest with the moon looking very close. Only that. The man took me from Mirai’s house and sent me back to the front of the castle.

I bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from feeling frustrated because my father was so adamant about accusing me of hiding the man’s whereabouts. Was this what it was like to see? Everything felt so sensitive that it made me uncomfortable. Was it possible to see something that I couldn’t accept in the future?

Father also sent almost most of his troops to go through the forest looking for the man who had healed my eyes. Mother said it was almost impossible to heal my sight. Yeah, I also knew about that, so I just listened and listened to her words like I usually did when I couldn’t see.

Mother gave various reasons to keep me patient and forgive my father. I just nodded, but the image of my father hitting Mirai until she bled couldn’t leave my head.
