Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 703: The Name Of Princess Leonor

"Thebis?"

"Yes, the last place where the witch was seen and the king brought almost his entire battalion to kill her, but the witch managed to injure all troops as well as the king. The War Commander Leonor was lost there. That name was once famous because it was said that she came from the nobility who defended the commoner at that time."

Arielle felt that this War Commander Leonor was the same person as Princess Leonor. Both of them came from aristocratic circles. Princess Leonor was from a small kingdom that was conquered by King Theodore.

Then, defending the commoner... Arielle wasn’t sure about this point, but from the memoir written by Princess Cecillia, there was nothing bad about Princess Leonor.

Even Princess Cecillia said that Princess Leonor accepted King Theodore’s offer to become the queen and replaced Queen Alicia who had run away as well as replace Princess Cecillia who had refused the offer. Princess Leonor accompanied the king on several occasions to take care of the kingdom’s affairs and became a good friend of Princess Cecillia.

"Why did she become a War Commander? And disappeared in Thebis?" muttered Arielle who was still confused about how to draw the line of conclusions with the information she had got.

Grandmother Bertha spoke again. "But for some reason, this book was discontinued. I still remember that the queen ordered everyone in the kingdom to burn this book."

"Why?" Arielle asked with her curiosity piled up continuously.

"I also do not know about it. I told you before, I had asked about this to my grandmother, but she said that she felt that the kingdom and the future generations didn’t need to remember the name of the traitor. I believed because the information brought by Commander Leonor at that time made the palace’s peacefulness shake again."

"King Theodore, who slowly began to forget his grudges and accept reality, was taken control by his emotions and looked for the witch again. If my grandfather had not gone looking for that witch, then maybe they would have had a good time, and because of that information, King Theodore returned with a burnt body. It’s a kind of resentment," explained Grandmother Bertha.

"But, why do you call her Princess Leonor? She’s not a royal princess. Also, where did you hear it from?" asked Grandmother Bertha while squinting her eyes.

"My husband and I are trying to find out the truth about the past. We gather as much information as possible in order to know the way to end this endless curse."

Grandmother Bertha laughed out loud, then shook her head.

"If you know that this has no end, why are you still doing it?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Even though this curse can’t be erased in our generation, maybe the information we collect can be useful for the next generation. At least my husband and I don’t want to give up and hope that one day this kingdom will be able to see the sun again," Arielle said, causing Grandmother Bertha to scrutinize the girl from head to toe.

So far, she had never heard this kind of answer. Most people were quite indifferent and didn’t care about what happened to this kingdom. They only cared about their life. Grandmother Bertha only knew that every descendant of the king who carried the curse would always be chained and held behind bars so that they wouldn’t go rampant and could turn back into humans later on.

Grandmother Bertha had witnessed it on her brother. Her first brother must also feel the same way, but no one really cared. They thought that by tying up the monster every full moon could resolve the problem and they would still live in wealth and rule the kingdom without any burden.

Princess Bertha had the same thought before. However, about thirteen years ago, a tragedy happened when the king and the crown prince were let loose on a full moon night. They killed many people in the palace. Since then, Princess Bertha had increasingly closed herself off from the royal family and cut off the existing relationship.

It seemed that these young people understood that the old ways would not always be able to go smoothly. Human error could happen anytime and learning from those mistakes resulted in a brand new motivation.

Grandmother Bertha was quite impressed by that.

"I think tomorrow morning I’ll open my manor and let your husband rest here. Only for one night," the woman said in a light tone.

"Eh?"

Arielle was a little surprised by Princess Bertha’s decision. How many years had it been since the last time she opened her manor just to anyone? Even a dozen years ago, when Ronan came to invite Princess Bertha to his coronation as the king, the woman was not at all moved to open the door of her manor, although they were still relatives.

Besides, all the invitations that Ronan had sent always end up being brought back, including his wedding invitation as well as Arielle’s coronation invitation. So why did Princess Bertha suddenly change her mind?

"But... what about your other guests? I’m afraid the presence of my husband and several male guards and knights accompanying him will make the guests here uncomfortable."

"Hmm... it’s fine. I can explain to them. After all, today’s party is Princess Zohra’s last night here. She will return to Thebis tomorrow. So maybe they will only cross paths for a few hours and I’d keep an eye on the men coming in even more closely, if that’s what you’re worried about."

Arielle accepted Princess Bertha’s offer. Of course, this was tremendous progress! Ronan was finally able to meet his grandfather’s sister again after such a long time! Arielle was sure that when Princess Bertha talked with Ronan, the woman would understand their purpose here much better.

"Oh Arielle, you haven’t answered my question. Why do you call Commander Leonor princess? And where did you hear the name that was long erased in history?"
