Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 89: The Little Rabbit Who Likes Ronan
Arielle used her last chance to gaze across the entire Frostmount Village from above. She didn’t know when she would have the opportunity to visit here again. Her experience with the villagers to harvest and make jam from Frostberry would be deeply ingrained in her heart.
The girl looked down at the basket that Mrs. Arthur had given her on Tania’s lap.
"We can give one to Lucas," Arielle said. "Taking care of those rabbits is definitely not an easy task."
"Are you going to take the rest back to the South, Your Highness?" asked Namina.
Arielle chuckled then took one of the jars of Frostberry jam. She gave the jar of jam to Namina.
"I’m going to spend them in the North. And I want you to accept one for helping me a lot the last few days," Arielle said.
"B-but... I don’t think I deserve this. Mrs. Arthur gave it to you."
"It’s fine, I do like frostberry, but I won’t be able to finish all this alone."
"Y-you don’t want to save some to take back to the South?"
Arielle’s eyebrows rose. She glanced at Tania for a moment, then turned her gaze to the carriage window. It seemed that Arielle was not as enthusiastic as she used to be when discussing the topic of returning to the South.
"I can buy them again later," Arielle replied sadly.
Tania knew the princess’s heart had changed. Her sad expression was a reflection of her true desire. Tania smiled, the princess’s heart was already attached to the North.
***
The journey back to the Northendell Capital City went quite smoothly. The previous night they had spent the night at the same inn as they had stayed at when they departed a few days ago.
Although Arielle was a little sad because the husky she met before was not at the inn. The dog was accompanying one of the innkeeper’s daughters down to the village to do her work.
The carriage arrived at the palace in the afternoon. After he dismounted and gave his horse to a knight, Ronan intended to open the carriage door for Arielle. However, just as he turned around, the carriage door had opened by itself.
Arielle, who couldn’t wait to see her rabbit family, got off the carriage and didn’t wait for the coachman to open the door. She ran with light steps when she saw Lucas who stood near the palace garden with a large basket containing her rabbits.
"Heeeey!!!" greeted Arielle to the white furry creatures as Lucas placed them down.
Arielle immediately crouched down to touch them. The five rabbits jumped back and forth with enthusiasm when they saw Arielle return after a few days.
Ronan followed shortly after. He stood and watched Arielle, who now kissed the rabbits one by one affectionately before he looked up to see the snow falling slowly.
It reminded him that he must immediately meet Priest Elis to ask about the strange phenomenon he saw when he saved Arielle at that time.
So first, the king needed to remind the princess to head back inside, or else she might want to play in the snow again.
"You can relax with them after you’re in your room. It’s snowing again, you’ll be cold," he said.
Arielle nodded in understanding. She stood back up with two little rabbits in her arms. "Your Majesty, thank you for the pleasant trip. In that case, allow me to return to my room."
Ronan nodded and gave his permission. The other two rabbits jumped slightly, and follow Arielle’s footsteps. The smallest of the rabbits was left standing unmoved. Ronan watched the rabbit closely. He just wanted to make sure all the rabbits were back with Arielle.
The little rabbit turned to its family then turned to look at the king who stood towering in front of it. Its red eyes lit up, which left Ronan confused by the rabbit’s strange behavior.
"What’s wrong with it? Arielle’s charisma no longer applies to it?" Ronan asked Lucas.
"The smallest one is indeed the quietest. It only wants to move if it is carried. Maybe Princess Arielle doesn’t know its character yet," Lucas answered, a little unsure.
He had spent the last few days with the little family, so Lucas could begin to distinguish one rabbit from another based on their characteristics.
Ronan chuckled at that.
(Slacker) thought the man.
"Lucas, summon Priest Elis to my room. I have something important to talk about," the king ordered.
Ronan then turned around, because he intended to return to his room to simply relieve fatigue and meet with the priest there. But his eyebrows shot up at the sound of Lucas chuckling. He turned his head quickly, but the man immediately stopped his laughter.
The king frowned for a moment.
He then decided that nothing was wrong and so Ronan turned back to leave. However, this time, it wasn’t Lucas laughing, it was William. William was different from Lucas, the man had absolutely no intention of hiding his laughter. He laughed so hard that some people turned around to see what was so funny to incite his roaring laughter.
"William." Ronan frowned. He was a little frustrated at not knowing what was so funny and started to lose his temper at William’s rudeness.
"Your Majesty... look at what lies beside your feet!" cried William. He clutched his stomach, which hurt from laughing too hard, and then wheezed.
Ronan looked down and saw a white rabbit beside his feet, looking at him with sparkling eyes. The man looked at Lucas, who was still standing where he was, the rabbit who was with him was also gone. Was the fragile animal following him?
The man was not at all impressed. He pushed the rabbit away with his feet then walked away.
"I think you should learn to carry it," William whispered, amused as he caught up with the king.
Ronan tried not to pay attention to the rabbit, but William’s stifled laughter became more and more annoying. The man paused once more before entering the Blackthorn palace.
He scooped up the rabbit with his hand and lifted it up and gave it a sharp look. But the rabbit did not respond to him with fear like its other siblings.
