The Werewolf King's Bride Chapter 173: The Truth (2)

(From Blue's Perspective)

Two people in the room, sitting across each other and talking- it was a normal thing. I did not know what King Ford was feeling, but my heart was breaking. Every ti I heard those words, those words that indicated how my husband deceived seven years ago, my heart would ache.

"He made sure you had black mana inside you, perhaps using so kind of magical artifact," he said. "Then he ca back again. That was the ti, he decided that you would be his bride."

"If he decided it back then, seven years ago, then he did it because he wanted my power, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Then why didn't he take any other woman? It isn't like he loved . Then why did he not touch anyone else?"

"King Detrius Easton is soone who does not feel any kind of emotions other than anger, irritation, and madness. At least, that's how he was. And he is also soone who is loyal to his own laws. He is not the type to play around with won. He thought that if he had already chosen you as his bride, no matter for what reason, he would only have you," he said.

"And then five years ago, I finally managed to get ready to go to you in the other world. But yes, you are right. I did not go there to kill you. I wanted to bring you here with ."

"Why?"

"If King Detrius had you and got your power awakened, then it would an a great deal for Querencia. Querencia would be a more powerful kingdom than Trouvaille. As a king, I could not let it happen. You see, I have beco a king at a very early age. So, I had to think about my kingdom. So, I wanted to bring you with .

To be precise, I wanted to make you my bride. There were obviously no feelings involved. I wanted you for power. But when I reached there, I was a bit late. King Detrius already found out about it. I knew he was going to try to take down as soon as possible.

It was clear that I would not be able to take you as my bride. So, I did sothing else."

"But do you know why I did that?" he asked, looking at with a mischievous grin.

"Why?" I asked.

"You see, your husband was not doing it because he wanted to. Think about it. How will soone like him know about your existence? He is an Alpha and he does not have any black mana inside him. There is no way for him to find out about you."

"Then how...?" I asked. I was desperate to find a reason that would make Dem seem that he did not do it on purpose. I did not want to hear that he wanted to deceive on his own.

"Actually, it was all planned since the beginning. And I found so forbidden docunts that are evidence that your birth was actually planned, so was your fate."

"What... do you an?"

"You see, there was a test eighteen years ago. It was to see that the child of a werewolf and a dark mage or a human and a dark mage is more powerful. And your mother was chosen for this test as well. Thus, you were born. And it is found out that the child of a human and a dark mage has more black mana inside them than the child of a werewolf and a dark mage has."

"Thus, you were targeted from an early age. King Detrius was not the one who did this experint. It was a dark mage or a group of dark mages. Among them, there is your father who led this. They planned it all and manipulated King Detrius's thoughts. It was not just one dark mage's doing.

ssing up soone's thoughts that much is impossible for a dark mage unless they are really powerful. My suspicion is that there was more than one dark mage who did it. They wanted King Detrius to have you as his bride. They wanted to manipulate King Detrius's mind all the ti until your power is awakened. And that's why I flipped down their plan."

"They could manipulate King Detrius's thoughts until your power was awakened. That's because if you beco his mate, then it is not just a physical bond that will be ford between you two. There will be an emotional bond as well. If your power is awakened, then it will prevent them from using him anymore and he won't be controlled anymore," he continued.

"That's why, when I saw that I would not be able to make you my bride, I decided to at least awaken your power just enough so you can prevent others from controlling your thoughts and King Detrius's. Then both of you will be able to use your own judgnt. I could awaken just a bit of your power. So, when King Detrius t you again five years ago, your power was already awakened a bit.

That ti, he surely felt blankness in his head as because of you, he could not be controlled by other dark mage's fully. But it was not enough."

"He gave a potion that ti. Because of that, I don't rember anything of that day. At least, that is what was supposed to be. Then why did I suddenly rember the mont when you awakened my power?" I asked.

"He did not know that I awakened your power. He doesn't know now as well. I know what you are thinking. His mind-reading ability, right?"

"You..."

"I know it well," he chuckled. "You see, I am a dark mage. I have my ways to find out about a few things. And I can even make him read my mind in a way that he would only read the thoughts I want him to. He would never be able to know what I do not want him to. Dark mages are not called dangerous for no reason, you know.

So, because he did not know that I awakened a bit of your power, he fed you that potion so you would forget about your encounter with him. That potion made you forget about our encounter as well. But not fully. That's why you rembered it. Perhaps you were thinking too hard about it. Though you are never going to rember the part when you t him..."

"So, what you an is, because my power is awakened a bit, after our marriage, Dem could not be controlled as before?"

"That's right," he nodded. "It happened right after the first night of your marriage when the mating process was fulfilled. He forgot what happened before, he literally forgot about everything that happened to him. He got confused and slowly, his thoughts stumbled over one another. Now that's the reason he doesn't rember why he brought you here in the first place. He is not controlled anymore.

So, whatever he is doing now, he is doing them on his own accord. I think now, he is an idiot as well."

"What do you an?"

"He fell madly in love with you and if he could, he would rather not awaken your power since dark mages are not welcod here," he chuckled bitterly. "Love can make soone a fool it seems."

"So, Dem was fooled as well."

"He wasn't basically fooled. King Detrius is a cunning person. But even he had nothing to do when a dark mage was ssing with his mind. And as I said, there might have been more than one dark mage. He was controlled, his thoughts were manipulated," he said. "I can understand what you were worried about.

Let tell you this then. King Detrius is a power-hungry Alpha. But now, you co first. He did not even rember the fact that you are a dark mage, yet he wants you. Don't worry. He is not lying."

I knew he was not lying. After King Ford told everything, things beca a lot clearer. But there were still a lot of questions.

Who were the dark mages that controlled his thoughts? And if the dark mages wanted , then they surely knew what was going on with right now?

"I managed to ruin the dark mages' plan that ti by awakening a bit of your power. But now, if we want to stop them, your power needs to be awakened fully. Of course, you are going to awaken your power anyway, since you are pregnant."

"How...?"

"How do I know?" he smirked. "No, it was not my spies. I found out about it myself after putting the puzzle pieces together. I am very good at guessing, you know."
