Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 643: The Ancient Curse (Cecillia’s Point Of Views)

I looked at Snowdrop one more time. She didn’t cry. She simply waved her little hand a few times and smiled at me. Her smile turned into a chuckle. Then, I felt the ground vibrate beneath my feet again.

"Go, hurry! You don’t have much time! Don’t stop if you don’t want to get killed!"

"But Cecilia! How about Snowdrop? She needs her mother!"

I turned around and smiled. My face was wet with tears. Maybe this was what Amadea felt when he forced Snowdrop and me to leave Birwick Mountain. The man had a responsibility that needed to be completed right away, yet he also felt reluctant to part away with us.

"You don’t need to worry. The sun and moon won’t leave her. Her mother and father won’t really be gone until we meet our Snowdrop again."

I held the necklace Amadea gave that was hanging around my neck and I smiled, remembering when the man gave it to me. My chest felt warm, then I turned to see Amadea smiling at me. I would end all of this. I had to stop human greed and break my ties with King Theodore completely. After that, I would meet with Amadea to meet our little Snowdrop again.

Seeing my determination, Amadea nodded. His brilliant red irises made me feel even more certain.

I saw our little Snowdrop for one last time.

"Snowdrop is the daughter of Amadea, the Guardian of Birwick as well as Cecilia, Princess of the Kingdom of Birwick who was blessed by the Moon Goddess. If you protect her well, then you will be protected by the sun and the moon. No one else can touch you."

"Cecilia!"

I tried to ignore the calls of the women behind me who forbade me to go. I let out Amadea’s last light. It really felt warm and soothing. I looked back to see the vines behind me starting to separate us. It reminded me of Amadea’s power that controlled Birwick Mountain.

Even though I was currently far away from Birwick Mountain, I could say that I was able to control this forest when I held Amadea’s light. Then, I glanced at Snowdrop to take one last look before we parted for who knew how long.

Our little princess wasn’t laughing at all like before. Several elderly men started pulling the vines to stop me. I couldn’t take this anymore. They had to leave now. I pushed them further away, controlling the vines to keep them away until they fell into the river.

I summoned the greater waves of the river to carry them away without drowning them. The screams for help and the calling of my name continued to resound, and I saw the village head’s daughter hold Snowdrop and lift her high before the water carried them away.

They wouldn’t sink. I didn’t want to hurt them. I just wanted them to leave right away.

After they were out of my sight, I lowered the river water and the vines that held me. And not long after, five knights surrounded me with their bows aimed right at me.

I stood straight in the same place. There was no more fear that enveloped me because I knew that Amadea would always be with me.

A whole battalion caught up with them. They opened a path in front of me and a man who was wearing a black mask appeared. The light in my hand moved, leaving me as if it had a will of its own.

In an instant, the ball of light, as bright as a small sun, transformed into a wolf made of flames. I initially thought it was Amadea, but I knew the man wasn’t here. There were no red irises as I looked into the wolf’s eyes. There was only a flame that felt scorching hot.

However, I had been trained by Amadea to be able to survive the flames. I touched the wolf-shaped flames, and they burned my hand. No, it didn’t burn me. It covered my hand with warm flames like Amadea’s hug.

"Cecillia," King Theodore called, and I looked forward.

The man was still on his horse.

"Return to Northendell, then I’ll let you go with your illegitimate children."

"What do you mean, Your Majesty? I don’t understand."

I could hear his growl.

"Don’t brag anymore. I’m tired of all this. I’m sure you’ve done something with that man, right? You have hurt many innocent people."

I really didn’t understand what this man was saying. What did he mean by hurting innocent people?

"What do you mean by hurting innocent people? Shouldn’t I be the one asking that? Why are you hurting the innocent creatures of Birwick? You have come uninvited, messing up a place my husband is hard to protect and-"

"I AM YOUR HUSBAND, YOU UNGRATEFUL WOMAN!"

I was speechless. I... was so surprised by his scream just now. I had often heard King Theodore’s screams. The man often yelled at a lot of people, but not at me. Never. And this was also the first time he cursed at me.

"But I didn’t do anything. I just wanted to have a free life away from greedy people."

"You don’t know what you’re doing? You two-faced woman! Why have I never seen this before? Behind that innocent and beautiful face of yours, you really are terrible. Far more detestable than the nobles I’ve always hated. You’re manipulative, greedy, and selfish. You deserve all the worst. You know, I’m not going to kill you. I will drag you back to Northendell, slicing you up one by one, and using every drop of your blood to heal my people you have made miserable."

"But I didn’t do anything!"

"You’ve made Northendell lose its sun!"

I shook my head. I still didn’t understand what the man meant. Until the flames of the wolf beside me moved and stopped in front of me.

"Ah... is this what Amadea’s heart means?" Hah... that little dog that tried to bark. Guardian of Birwick? I only saw a pitiful little dog."

I wanted to stop him. I couldn’t bear to hear King Theodore constantly insulting my husband. I wanted to stop that mouth.

"Stop... don’t speak anymore..."

"Why? You don’t want me to say bad things about that jerk? Huh, my little kitty has started showing her claws, eh? Then, what did you think when I told you that my hand managed to chop off your parents’ heads? I even killed that bastard who was said to be the Guardian of Birwick Mountain!"

What did he say? Who had he killed? No... no way... that could be happening...

The memory of my parents’ laughing faces came back to haunt me. Amadea’s smile was also playing on my head. I hadn’t heard the man’s voice in my head in a long time. I knew this was bound to happen, but hearing it like this felt so suffocating.

I was having a hard time breathing. I saw King Theodore laughing out loud on his horse. Then, I looked into the horse’s eyes sharply and immediately the horse neighed and crashed into the other troops. The flames wolf also lunged at. I used vines to blow away all the weapons the knights were holding.

"Theodore.. I hope you die," I growled furiously.

My head felt like it was going to explode. Every trail that the wolf trodden left a trace of scorching flames.

"Cecillia, you damn woman! Give Amadea’s heart back to me!" shouted King Theodore behind the blazing fire.

"Give it back you say?! Then, what about you? RETURNS AMADEA TO ME!" I shouted in frustration.

The flames were getting big, and my eyes began to blur with tears. I couldn’t. This couldn’t end peacefully. I wanted to kill him. I wanted to avenge everything. I had known him for a long time. My hands itched like I wanted to strangle someone. And when the troops approached me, I stabbed one of them with bigger and sharper vines and his blood splashed on my face.

It wasn’t enough. I needed something more to kill them. If I killed them all, then there wouldn’t be any greedy people left. I kept moving my hand towards the Northendeel troops. The flames wolf also didn’t stop attacking and setting flames in the forest.

I didn’t see King Theodore’s whereabouts. I thought I would only be satisfied if I killed him. The one who had taken everything from me. If I hadn’t been to Northendell to be his concubine, maybe I could have spent my time a bit longer with Amadea. Maybe I could meet Snowdrop for a bit longer too. Maybe right now, Amadea and Snowdrop were having dinner with my parents.

If ... if that night I let Mirai replace me, if I chose to be his queen and killed him when King Theodore was asleep, if I could be braver to express my feelings, if ... if ...

If ...

STAB!

I widened my eyes in surprise. A sword stuck right in my chest. I saw a man whose clothes were half burnt coming through the wall of flames. His mask had fallen off, revealing deep wounds in his eyes. Was that because of my stab?

"You bish, give me Amadea’s heart..."

I reached out my hand and touched his scarred face. I closed my eyes to recognize every side of his face. Yes... he was the same King Theodore. I opened my eyes again and saw the wound on my chest was bleeding profusely. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The flames wolf returned and turned into a man with a body full of flames. He hugged me from behind. He then touched Theodore’s hand, which was still holding his sword that was stuck in my chest.

Then, I saw something appear in his hand. It was the seal of the agreement. Amadea once showed it to me. It showed that he was bound to guard Birwick Mountain in exchange for the power bestowed by the Sun God.

"What is this?! Get your hand off me! Release me immediately!" shouted King Theodre who sounded panicked.

On his neck began to grow dense fur like a wolf

I smiled crookedly.

"You want Amadea’s heart? Then try to take it from me."

I really felt happy at the end of my life. I listened to the panicked screams of the man I hated while being embraced by the warmth of Amadea’s flames. I looked up and saw the human-shaped fire once again.

"We just have to wait to meet Snowdrop, right?" I asked.

The flames nodded, and a dazzling light burned everything in an instant. Trees turned to ash, rocks turned to ash, and everything was covered in red. Nothing was left but piles of hot ashes.

I couldn’t stand this heat. This wasn’t Amadea’s power. Yet, I kept smiling because I knew my body would disappear to ashes, but I would always be with Amadea for all eternity.
