Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 694: The Strange Place

Arielle couldn’t bear to leave them out in the cold like this every night.

Besides, there were things they needed to solve as well. They had to talk about King Theodore, the first King of Northendell who was the grandfather of Grandmother Bertha. Hopefully, they could get a clue about Princess Leonor, who was once a concubine of King Theodore, although she had never been recorded in history.

From the memoir that Arielle had read, Princess Leonor should have a great power and influence in the kingdom. As a concubine who was to be raised to become a queen to replace Queen Alicia, the sudden disappearance of Princess Leonor’s name was really strange. Besides, there was no record of the family or the death of Princess Leonor.

Then, who was Miss Poppy? Arielle only knew that Miss Poppy was the one who continued Princess Cecilia’s memoir using a third point of view, which started from the attack in the village where Princess Cecilia gave birth to her daughter. Perhaps if Arielle had the chance to meet the desert dragon clan, she would find out who Miss Poppy was.

However, the only way to meet the desert dragons was through Otis, and Arielle currently had no way to meet them or return to Birwick because the necklace given by Princess Cecilia and Amadea was now in Maxieno’s hands in exchange for the elixir to save Ronan.

Arielle was wrapped up in her train of thoughts until the comfort and warmth of the blanket covering her body made her fall asleep. After a long journey and days of sitting and sleeping on the carriage that kept moving forward to their destination, her body finally found comfort and could relax comfortably.

"It’s warm. I wish Ronan was here too," she muttered before falling asleep.

Arielle’s sleep was so deep that she didn’t get a single dream. The girl just remembered that she was at Grandmother Bertha’s residence when she heard several voices talking in a low murmur voice.

Arielle frowned because she didn’t recognize the voices. Before opening her eyes, she tried to enhance her hearing and was one hundred percent sure that the voices speaking softly around her were the voices of several men.

Hearing the voice of strange men nearby, Arielle jumped and got up quickly.

"Oh, you’re awake, Your Majesty? I’m sorry if we woke you up. We just want to prepare warm water to clean your body, and we’ve also brought new warm clothes for you," Thomas said gently, making Arielle briskly pull the blanket covering her body high. She was still wearing the same dress before she fell asleep earlier.

"Princess Bertha forbade us to wake you up, but since you are already awake, I can help you to clean your body to make it fresher," said Thomas, offering his service, but Arielle refused as fast as lightning.

"No! Ah.. I-I mean.. I can do it myself."

"Your Majesty, we promise not to touch you if you don’t want us to. We will always follow your orders as per Princess Bertha’s, but... the female guests will never refuse our massage."

"No, I can’t. I can do it myself. Can you leave the room right now?" asked Arielle in a high tone.

Thomas only smiled faintly. "I understand, Your Majesty. If that is what the guest wants, then I will always give them what they want."

Thomas then ordered the other male servants to leave the queen’s room, and he also asked her permission to leave. Before leaving. Thomas said that Arielle could call him anytime if she needed help.

Arielle could only breathe a sigh of relief when all the shirtless men left her alone. Her head felt heavy and spinning a bit. It seemed she got dizzy from waking up suddenly. Arielle then got up from her bed and walked towards the window where the curtain had not been drawn.

The window where she was standing now led directly into a high stone wall. The residence was heavily protected and Arielle couldn’t see through the gate. She hoped Ronan and the others could still survive in the cold weather.

Arielle needed to clean her body immediately. There was no hot water faucet like the one in the palace. Everything was done manually and the hot water that was brought by the male servants was already mixed into the bathtub, making the water quite warm.

The warm water had a very sharp fragrance. It was too sensual and exotic. Arielle slowly took off her clothes one by one and soaked her body in the bathtub to clean some traces of sweat from a long journey for days without showering.

Arielle also washed her hair. She washed it down with a refreshing tropical floral fragrance. After rinsing her hair clean, she soaked herself in the tub for a moment, while preparing herself to talk to Grandmother Bertha later.

Really, Grandmother Bertha had a character that Arielle didn’t expect. The old woman seemed to really like to talk, so that she dominated the conversation more. She sounded so sweet and kind.

Besides, even though Grandmother Bertha dominated the conversation, she didn’t make Arielle or Irene feel left out at all. They both actually get a lot of attention from the woman.

Arielle put her face in the water while holding her breath. She opened her eyes and saw her naked body in the water. She remembered Miss Dressrosa’s words where every woman often came here to seek pleasure. Were they ...

"No, no, no... what was I thinking?!" Arielle splashed her face with water several times to get rid of her dirty thoughts. Feeling that it had been long enough since she was soaking her body in the water, Arielle immediately went out to dry her body and hair. She didn’t need a maid to assist her at all. She could do everything alone.

Arielle took the dress that had been provided by the servants earlier. She frowned at how revealing the dress was. It was like the dress from Nieverdell, but more revealing in many parts. Arielle wasn’t sure about wearing the dress. It seemed the servants had brought the wrong dress.
