The Werewolf King's Bride Chapter 207: Confronting Mother (2)

(From Detrius's Perspective)

"Mother, I don't have any ti to play," I said warningly. "If it was not your order, then why would your maid mix sothing to my wife's drink? She is not a random person who is that maid's enemy. She is the freaking Queen!"

"I know she is your wife and everything and you love her a lot. But isn't it just too much? You are behaving like only she is your family and no one else is. You are even blaming your own Mother for her? It's not like I hate Blue. I like her a lot.

I want the best for her. But does she want you to behave like this too? I understand you love her more than any of us..."

"No, you are wrong," I interrupted. "I love her and only her. I don't care about anyone else. Tell . Why should I care for you all? Who are you to ?"

"What... Detrius, I am your mother," she said as tears began to roll down her cheeks.

"Mother? Haa! I wish you truly were... I would have loved you as my mother if you were not a mother who only gave birth to . Just think about what you have done in the past. Have you ever loved in the first place?

You were just too busy hating on Father. None of you deserved to be parents. Why would I love you when all you did in the past was ignore ? I had Father, you, and Evelyn in my family. Father never loved or Evelyn. He only kept an eye on us to make sure we were worthy to be his heir.

You never gave us your attention and even kept Evelyn and separated saying that siblings should not grow up together because we might weaken ourselves if we got attached too much. Forget you and Father; did you ever give a chance to at least grow close to my sister? Now, don't your acts describe why I consider only my wife as my family?"

"I know I have been an idiot in the past for god knows why, but it's not true that I don't love you. I love both Evelyn and you a lot. It's true that I have hurt you in the past, but can't you forgive ?"

"Forgive?" I chuckled bitterly. "Don't make laugh. Don't ask for forgiveness when you know that you are not worthy of it. If you behaved like that after I beca an adult, I would not have behaved like this today. But you mistreated since I was a child. Seriously, your asking for forgiveness sounds just too fake."

"How can you talk like that to your mother? I haven't taught you that!"

"Pfft! My dear mother, you have never taught anything in the first place. You see, sotis I wonder if it's the reason I'm sick in the head."

I wondered if Father was like . He was called a tyrant. Well, I was called the sa. He had a wife and I had a wife as well. But he slept with others as well. It was different for since I only wanted my wife.

I was oddly obsessed with her. It got to the point that there was no turning back for . I only wanted her, I saw only her with my eyes and I liked to make sure that she was mine and mine only.

Perhaps it was just in my family who was like this. I was sick, I knew it. But I could not cure my problem. With each passing day, my obsession with my wife only grew. Sotis, I wanted to tie her down and lock her up, so only I could see her and she could not run away.

"Mother, I will ask two tis only. Answer . Why did you mix that thing in my wife's drink?"

"I don't even know what was mixed in her drink," she said.

"Aphrodisiac," I said. "The sa aphrodisiac that I banned a few years ago. I wonder how you got that in hand. I rember destroying the factories."

"Detrius, I really have not done anything! What do you want to say now? I am telling you the truth!"

"What's the point of this, Detrius?" Evelyn asked.

She was taking a walk as well with her daughter and husband. "Why are you yelling right here? There are far too many ears. You want everyone to know about the things going on inside our family?"

"Mother, I am telling you. Don't make angrier!" I said, ignoring her.

There was no one around here. The place where we were was only available for the Royal family mbers. How could soone else be here except the gardener?

"I told you I haven't done this!" Mother cried. "Look, Evelyn. Just hear what your brother is saying... He is accusing of giving Blue the forbidden aphrodisiac!"

"What is apro... apro...?" Ava asked her father.

"The forbidden aphrodisiac? Isn't it really harmful that can cause chronic disease if their mates don't finish inside them?"

"Don't say such things aloud!" rrick exclaid. He had always been the shy type, kind of like my wife. Since Evelyn was my sister, it was not hard to understand that she was the aggressive type like . "Ava is here too!"

"She doesn't understand," Evelyn chuckled. "You are saying this because you are shy."

"I am not!" he exclaid, turning bright red.

"Stop this act, really!" I sighed.

"Yeah, right... But why would Mother do that? And is Blue okay now? When did it happen?" Evelyn asked.

"It happened right after lunch. She went to my office and I found out about it. I took care of it. But she doesn't know who gave her that."

"And she had lunch with Mother today," Evelyn said.

"Is Blue sick?" Ava asked.

"She is okay now," rrick replied to his daughter in a low voice. "You don't have to worry."

"But how are you so sure that Mother did it?" Evelyn asked .

There were a lot of things that they did not know. They were secrets. I could not tell them that. But if they knew, they would think the sa.

I glanced at her and started for a while. She stared back and nodded after a while. She knew what kind of person Mother was. Both of us knew this from our childhood. Even though she did not know the whole thing, she was not soone to believe Mother. Perhaps she did not hate her as much as I did, she did not like her as well.

"I will interrogate the maid nad Sally. Mother, you should not live in the main palace anymore. Take one of the side palaces and take your maids there."

"How can you do that to ? To your own mother? Is that why I gave birth to you?"

"Father made because he wanted soone with black eyes. He knew black-eyed werewolves were like demons. Well, now I am a demon. I fulfilled what Father wanted. I guess you are right. This is why you gave birth to ," I laughed.

"Mother, it's better not to make a scene here. Even if you did not do it, you should stay at a side palace," Evelyn said. "It's better this way. We will move to a side palace as well."

Evelyn was trying to smooth this matter as quickly as possible. It would not be a bad thing if they moved to a side palace as well. After all, that was how everything was supposed to be.

"You all are crazy! Well then, I will leave! Is that what you all want?"

"Yeah...," I gave a nod. "I don't know what others want. But that's what I want."

Mother left hurriedly, crying continuously. I did not feel anything, no remorse, nothing. I never felt anything when others were crying. But it was not the sa for my wife. I hated her tears. I did not like to see them.

But sotis, I was glad that she would shed tears in front of since it showed that she could show her real self to .

"Ugh, fuck it! Everything is so fucking ssy!" Evelyn grumbled.

"Stop cursing in front of a child," I said.

"Eh? Since when did you start to be careful while cursing?"

"He is right, Eve. Ava is here," rrick said.

It was not like I was like this forever. I cursed a lot without caring who was near. But my wife told not to curse in front of kids. Well, I could not just ignore her words, right?
