Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 620: The Ancient Curse (Cecillia’s Point Of Views)

Me and my power were still the biggest mystery in my life. Even King Theodore had helped out by searching on literature that could be related to it, but there was nothing he could find. And after the night when I helped heal his wound, the man guarded me even tighter.

Of course, it couldn’t be separated from Queen Alicia’s supervision. I had tried to ask if I could meet her, but King Theodore always forbade me. Then, he added another person to be entrusted with this matter because Queen Alicia’s questions couldn’t be stopped again after the woman saw with her own two eyes that her husband came back full of wounds, but after coming out of my room, he was in very good condition.

My relationship with Queen Alicia hadn’t improved. In front of King Theodore, she would open her heart to me, but when the king wasn’t around, she gave me cold treatment. After I allowed King Theodore to tell Queen Alicia about my power, I slowly felt she started to open up to me.

She was no longer cold... Several times she even helped treat my wounds, which had not yet healed after treating King Theodore’s wounds. Queen Alicia said she wanted us both to be able to start everything from scratch again. She wanted to thank me sincerely for protecting and treating the king’s wounds.

I believed it, and now I didn’t feel so lonely anymore. Even though I spent most of my day in my room, Queen Alicia often came to bring food or hot tea. She also invited me to visit the garden several times, so I could get some fresh air.

Her attention really touched my soft side. I felt a mother figure in Queen Alicia. She was always there for me, and our past conflicts were never brought up again. We both agreed to forget the past and start a new Chapter of our friendship. Now I had two friends, King Theodore and Queen Alicia beside my three rabbits, which my new lady-in-waiting always brought to play in my room.

I had proven that the people around me weren’t bad. They loved and protected me well. Even so, there was still an empty part in my heart that had not been completely filled.

After several months had passed, the mysterious man never visited me or snuck into my room again. I was grateful for that because I didn’t have to think about the possibility that someone would catch him.

However, it turned out that the peace I felt at that time only lasted a few months because there was another war that Northendell had to face. Northendell had to face a confrontation from the neighboring kingdom, Thebis Kingdom, which was also one of the largest kingdoms. King Theodore had to join the war with his troops.

Today, Queen Alicia and I would escort him off to the battlefield. I couldn’t see how many knights had been prepared, but I heard from their thunderous footsteps that shook the ground, the number was probably more than hundreds of thousands. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

I stood behind Queen Alicia and was surprised when suddenly someone hugged me tightly. He was King Theodore. When I touched his wrist, I could sense a bracelet I had made at the hunting event many years ago tied to it.

It was a little awkward because we had never hugged before.

"After I come back later... you will be my queen."

Huh? What did he say? I didn’t understand. Was it possible that King Theodore had misspoke? No... I didn’t want it. I didn’t want to take that position. It belonged to Queen Alicia. I didn’t want it.

"Your Majesty..."

"Wait for me to come back safely, my wife."

No, please do not do that.

I knew Queen Alicia was probably looking at us right now, and suddenly something damp and warm touched my lips. I tried to push King Theodore’s body away, but the man hugged me tighter. Until finally, his grip loosened and he let go of his arms completely.

The roar of the troops could be heard, making the whisperings of the aristocrats around me cover up. I really didn’t want it. My mind was still in a mess, so I couldn’t hear the sound of King Theodore leaving to lead the troops to war.

Queen Alicia and I would return to the palace using the same carriage.

"Cecil, what did king Theodore say to you before he left?"

I couldn’t say it honestly. I already loved my friendship with Queen Alicia too much. I didn’t want her to misunderstand and make our relationship fall apart again.

I tried to make excuses, but all I could do was shake my head and lie.

"Nothing important, Your Highness."

"Is that true?"

I nodded my head then chose to keep my mouth shut tightly. Luckily, Queen Alicia didn’t think too much of it, nor did she ask me any more questions. We returned to the palace safely, and I tried to forget what King Theodore had said earlier. I would politely decline it when the man returned later.

When everything was running normally, suddenly at night my room was knocked on by a loud banging. I, who already knew the way to the door, immediately opened the door of my room.

"Oh, Cecil... Cecilia... can you help me? I really have nowhere else to turn for help."

"Queen Alicia?"

"Cecil... can you... help my father? Someone purposely attacked his carriage, and he was now badly injured. Please help my father, Cecil..."

I didn’t know how to help her.

"How can I help you, Your Highness?"

"Your blood. Oh, Cecil... I will be very sad if my father is not saved this time..."

I fell silent for a moment. The matter of my blood that could heal wounds should be a secret between the three of us. At this rate, someone else would find out.

Suddenly, someone touched my leg.

"Please, Cecil... even if I call the doctor now, my father will never be safe."

"Okay, I will help him."

Maybe I could help Queen Alicia just this once. She had helped me a lot. I also wanted to help her to repay her kindness. I pulled the woman to get up and stop begging on my knees. A queen shouldn’t kneel to anyone of lower status. I was just a concubine. Queen Alicia didn’t deserve to be treated like this.

"Thank you, Cecil... You are someone I can trust."

I felt a little better when Queen Alicia considered me as one of her confidants. I was waiting near the couch and heard several men carrying a body that was groaning loudly. I hesitated a bit to hurt my hand, but someone hugged me gently.

I became braver due to Queen Alicia’s warm embrace, then a small wound that was dripping blood was placed on the wound of the queen’s father and she assisted me by directing it. A few seconds later, there were several gasps of shock and happy tears from Queen Alicia who thanked me a lot.

That night I was really happy to be able to help my friend.

However, it didn’t last long. The feeling of happiness slowly turned into regret. I... felt pain. Every night, I could only hold on when my body was being slashed and I couldn’t ask for help. My room was suffused with the smell of opium, making all my senses go numb.

Slowly, Queen Alicia would come and come again, asking for my blood to help her relatives who were in pain. Either to heal wounds, heal people who were poisoned, or stop the bleeding. I really didn’t mind helping her.

However, the things that followed left me in deep regret. Even the lowly maids and palace guards, without the knowledge of Queen Alicia, came crying to me, begging for my blood. When I refused, they would give me sleeping pills, and I would wake up with a painful body. Then, new wounds were added even when the old ones hadn’t healed yet.

And it seemed that tonight, they forgot to bring sleeping pills, so they just slashed my thighs without pity.

"I’m sorry if I have done anything wrong... Please stop..."

"Your Highness... You are completely innocent. We only ask for your help to heal our relatives."

"Hiks.. I beg you... it hurts..."

"We will burn the opium again. You will sleep well after this."

My cry was not heard. This darkness was torturous. I couldn’t take it anymore.

"Hey, stitch up the wound properly. I have paid you handsomely. Don’t let the wound leave a scar," said a lady-in-waiting.

"Come on.. I’m just an ordinary doctor. This wound will certainly leave a scar, but it will at least dry up before King Theodore returns."

I couldn’t stop crying, and they finally asked permission to leave the room.

"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. May you always be blessed by the Moon Goddess. We will come again tomorrow."

"Hiks... don’t... Please let me rest... I... can’t take it anymore..."
