Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 696: Princess Zohra From Thebis

Arielle smoothed her dress as she approached Princess Bertha, as well as a woman she didn’t recognize. When the woman turned to look at her, she gasped in awe at how beautiful the woman in front of her was.

Her brown irises reminded Arielle of the honey that was glistening under the golden light, while her brown skin was as beautiful as milk chocolate. It was like shining gold. Her sharp eyes were framed by black eyeliner that curved at the corners of her eyes, making her look like a sensual cat.

Princess Bertha asked Arielle to come closer.

"Come here, I’ll introduce my old friend. Princess Zohra Al Wahny of Thebis. The younger sister of King Nassar," said Princess Bertha as she took Arielle’s hand to sit on the comfortable sofa beside her.

"Princess Zohra, this is my granddaughter. Queen Northendell, the wife of King Ronan," Princess Bertha added, introducing Arielle to Princess Zohra.

"Ah! My Queen! It’s a pity I couldn’t visit your coronation ceremony, but I hope that you will receive a letter as well as the gift from me," Princess Zohra exclaimed, then stood up to shake hands with Arielle.

"I have received it, Princess. The silk fabric with the red feather pattern you sent is very gorgeous. I really don’t have the heart to ruin it to make a dress, so I’m still keeping it well. Truly, Thebis silk is really exceptional."

Arielle really remembered the letter sent by Princess Zohra. She kept it well. Apart from that, Princess Zohra also sent three chests full of silk cloth, which had a pattern of peacock tails and tiger skins. Even now, Arielle still did not know how to use those beautiful fabrics.

Thebis were known for their cloth production. With a hot climate where it never rained, Thebis was a remarkable land suitable for raising silkworms and making it the best silk cloth produced in all the continent.

Silk cloth itself had been a commodity of cooperation between Northendell and Thebis for a long time.

"Gosh... if you really like it, I can send more silk for you to make a dress," replied Princess Zohra, making Arielle smile at the kindness of the princess.

Princess Bertha also explained to Arielle that all the dresses worn by more than a hundred women in the room were silk fabrics brought by Princess Zohra. The woman often visited Princess Bertha’s residence because they were old friends.

Actually, they were not really old friends. Princess Zohra’s mother was a good friend of Princess Bertha, and as time went on, Princess Zohra also became friends with Princess Bertha. They even became close friends.

Besides, every woman visiting Princess Bertha’s residence had their own purpose. In this place, Princess Zohra said that she could express herself more freely. There was no other place like this other than in Princess Bertha’s residence. She could do whatever she couldn’t do while she was in Thebis Palace.

"And did the Queen of Northendell also visit Princess Bertha’s residence for the same reason?" asked Princess Zohra, making Arielle frown.

Princess Bertha chuckled. making Arielle and Princess Zohra turn towards the old woman.

"Ahahaha, Queen Arielle just married King Ronan. I doubt the reason for the queen’s visit is due to the lack of affection from her husband."

Arielle’s face immediately turned red. She had never talked about something like this so vulgarly before. She felt awkward staying in that place, but Princess Zohra actually laughed and nodded in understanding, as if the statement just now didn’t make her uncomfortable at all.

Unlike Arielle, who suddenly couldn’t process what was happening, Princess Zohra and Princess Bertha already talked about the possibilities of the sexual relationship between Arielle and her husband. It made Arielle feel very uncomfortable.

Arielle wasn’t a bold person when it came to sexual matters. Even when Ronan almost made them do it in open space several times, she always refused. She always wanted to do it in a place where even an ant wasn’t listening because it was so embarrassing.

"It seems our talk made the queen uncomfortable. My granddaughter is a good child. Even Thomas was rejected," Princess Bertha said, while touching Arielle’s hand as the girl had been silent since before.

"Thomas? Oh, my... Princess Bertha, please tell Thomas that I will accompany him tonight. Surely, that child’s little heart is fragile and I want to make him feel better."

Princess Bertha smiled then nodded.

"Of course, Your Highness. Thomas would be very happy to hear that you asked for him personally," she replied with a bright smile.

"So, if it wasn’t for sexual pleasure, then what did you come here for? Does the queen feel distrustful of the body she has?" asked Princess Zohra while looking at Arielle from head to toe.

Arielle immediately touched her shoulder because she felt uncomfortable being watched so closely.

"Um..." She turned towards Princess Bertha who was also waiting for her to speak. The woman waited patiently, like a grandmother waiting for her granddaughter to finish her meal.

"I’m here to ask about a few things related to ... the first King of Northendell, King Theodore, your grandfather, Grandma Bertha," said Arielle, making the smile on Princess Bertha’s face disappear for a split second before it return to a friendly smile again as if nothing had bothered her at all.

"My grandfather... Hmm, even though I’m still alive to this day... I’m not sure if I can remember him properly. I have forgotten many memories, maybe because it was already decades ago," answered Princess Bertha.

Princess Bertha then held Arielle’s hand. "If that is what you wish to ask, then could you wait a few more hours? I don’t want to ruin Princess Zohra’s welcoming party by reminiscing about the past. Oh, you can also enjoy the party first and I’ll pay you a visit later. How about that?"

Arielle turned to Princess Zohra who was sipping a red wine from her glass. She glanced at Arielle with a different look this time, but still didn’t lose her friendly face.

"Um... then... there’s nothing I can do but wait. I’ll wait with my friend. You definitely want to talk more with Princess Zohra. I will enjoy the party," said Arielle, making Princess Zohra’s smile even wider.
