Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 622: The Ancient Curse (Cecillia’s Point Of Views)

Because Queen Alicia never returned to the palace, King Theodore gave a final ultimatum that made everyone at the meeting, including myself, very surprised. The man said that he would make me a queen. Of course, it was opposed by many people. I was against it too.

I didn’t want to do it. That was a huge responsibility. What’s more, I was just a disabled woman who couldn’t see. I had many flaws and surely in the future, I could only burden so many people.

Besides, here in Northendell, I had no other family. I had no one who could protect me other than King Theodore. The atmosphere in the meeting became more boisterous because King Theodore didn’t hear the protests of the higher-ups.

The man also didn’t try to calm down the protesting nobles at all. He actually pulled me to come with him to his study.

"Your Majesty, don’t do that. Queen Alicia is still a legitimate queen. It is so unfair to her."

"She has caused all of this."

"No! Queen Alicia didn’t do it on purpose. Maybe Queen Alicia is still feeling very guilty and thus, she still doesn’t want to go home, but I’m sure what happened to me was just an accident. At that time, Queen Alicia asked for my help in panic, and I, who considered her as my own sister, sincerely helped her. Maybe then Queen Alicia-"

"Stop protecting her!"

I was surprised that King Theodore shouted at me for the first time. I didn’t want to make the man get angrier, so I chose to remain silent.

"Cecil, if she does feel guilty, at least she will try to protect you, not make you like a cow. She would only ask you to treat his father, not his uncle, aunt, cousin, even just for a small wound. And look now ... she used you. She made sure that everyone was on her side because of the kindness she had given by healing their wounds."

"Don’t you see?! They unite to protect Alicia... You should hate her... instead of protecting her, Cecil." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

I could only apologize, but that wasn’t what I meant... At first, I also wondered why Queen Alicia would do such a thing to me, but I had forgiven her. I felt much better now. Although the wounds on my body hadn’t fully healed yet, I could do my activities again.

King Theodore still didn’t listen to my request to not make me his queen, and only considered it a passing wind. He only said that he didn’t want to have offsprings from those wicked nobles. He wanted the next heir not from the noble family he married. If he and Alicia had a child, then it was very likely that the child would be driven by the queen’s family.

And that would only strengthen their position. King Theodore said it was the same as he was feeding the nobles, even though his main goal was to take advantage of those greedy humans.

I chose to keep my mouth shut. The man’s anger was scary enough for me.

Then, I really got depressed. I was becoming more lonely. King Theodore became preoccupied with his work and his search for Queen Alicia who hadn’t returned. The man even threatened the queen’s family, but Queen Alicia never came back.

Besides that, I always got visits from people I didn’t know. They always asked me to persuade the king not to strip the queen status from Queen Alicia. I had tried to talk to King Theodore, but he was really stubborn.

And what I knew next, a woman appeared, and King Theodore introduced her as his new concubine. Princess Leonor. She was one of the royal princesses whose kingdom had been conquered by King Theodore. Princess Leonor was a clumsy girl. She was also so quiet that it made me feel awkward.

King Theodore’s third marriage met with many rejections. The atmosphere in the palace was getting hotter when the king introduced Princess Leonor as his second concubine. Even though he was married to Princess Leonor, he still called me to accompany him to work.

"What are you going to do with Princess Leonor?"

"Nothing, since you don’t want to be my queen, then I will make her the queen after removing the crown from Alicia’s head."

I was a little annoyed but also relieved to hear that. I took a deep breath and the sound of someone’s movement startled me.

"Cecil, do you really not want to be my queen? Seriously Cecil, I married her only to make you jealous! I want you to be my queen!"

"I already said it, Your Majesty. I don’t deserve to be a queen, and I can always be by your side as a friend."

I heard the sound of his footsteps approaching. He gripped my hand tighter.

"All this time, are we still on the friend stage, Cecil? Doesn’t your heart beat faster when you’re around me? Don’t you just want me to be yours only?"

I didn’t dare to answer it. This was the umpteenth time the man asked the same question, but I still couldn’t answer it honestly. I didn’t know why I was like this. I had tried to accept King Theodore as my husband, but my heart felt that this was all wrong. I couldn’t do it even though I had forced myself.

"Ah... you really drive me crazy," he muttered.

"I don’t know what I should give again so you can love me, Cecil. I really can’t contain my feelings. I can do it by force, but just imagining that you hate me makes me suffer."

Again, the only thing I could say was an apology.

Actually, I already knew enough where my heart had attached, but I tried to brush it off many times because something like that was impossible to happen. After giving up on convincing me to become the queen for the umpteenth time, King Theodore allowed me to return to my room.

And as I was escorted back to the room by the lady-in-waiting, a guard announced Queen Alicia’s return. I stiffened in place. Then, I asked the lady-in-waiting who was holding me to escort me to meet the queen, but before I could turn around, something hit me from behind, and I almost fell forward.

Luckily, someone held me from kissing the floor.

"Are you all right, Your Highness?" asked a woman with a very soft voice.

That little shy voice was Princess Leonor’s.

"Yeah, I’m fine. Thanks for the help," I said.

"With pleasure."

After helping me to stand up straight, Princess Leonor let me go.

"Good afternoon, Her Highness Queen Alicia. I am Princess Leonor of-"

"The second Cecillia, huh? My husband really has specific tastes."

I didn’t understand what Queen Alicia was saying. However, after giving that comment, she left me and Princess Leonor who could only stay silent in our places.

After Queen Alicia came back, the atmosphere in the palace was getting hotter. The protests were now getting louder. I didn’t even dare to leave my room for several days because I heard threats that were beyond reason. Only my rabbit friends accompanied me in between my boredom.

I heard some gossip from the ladies-in-waiting and maids who said that Princess Leonor was brave enough to go against Queen Alicia even though she was alone in the palace without any help from the noble families because all the noble families had been bound by Queen Alicia. They felt they had to return Queen Alicia’s favor who had cured their illness.

I was getting invisible and my presence was getting disguised. However, I was thankful that Princess Leonor was starting to open up and visit me a few times. Even though at the beginning of our meeting, we were both quite awkward, Princess Leonor was really nice.

No, the kindness I felt from Princess Leonor was different from the kindness I got from Queen Alicia. However, over time I started to feel bored, afraid, and also lost my way.

I couldn’t leave my room for more than a month because King Theodore said that as long as Queen Alicia was still walking freely in the palace, I was in danger. Since Queen Alicia returned, I was also never allowed to meet her. My current chat partner was only Princess Leonor.

I slightly opened the window to feel the night breeze. Earlier, Princess Leonor said that tonight was the night of the full moon. I looked up, imagining a sparkling white object hanging in the sky. I missed the days when I could still see, but I was also afraid to see the world and the people around me.

I was really like a doll who was always behind the wardrobe. I could only see the world through mere imagination. Living like a corpse because the only thing I did was breathing.

My sigh getting heavy and I choose not to think about it. I closed the window but suddenly somthing wrapped over my mouth. My visions already blank and now now my head getting heavy and heavy. Before I reacted they knocked me out.
