(From Blue's Perspective)
I was getting ready to go to the festival. It had been a long ti since I went out sowhere. Because I was the Queen, I did not need to go anywhere myself. There was always soone to go and represent . Usually, Kings and Queens joined a lot of functions. But Dem and I always avoided them.
It did not do us too much harm and we always made sure that the people's loyalty was directed to us by occasionally gifting the poor, making orphanages, and taking care of a lot of other things.
Today, I got a letter from Dem and Evelyn. They coincidentally arrived at the sa ti. I read Dem's one first of course.
Dear Blue,
Sorry for being one day late. I would have sent you early, but I have co back to the tent just a while ago now. When I ca back, I found two letters.
Okay, let's talk about the second letter first. What do you an you felt pain? You saw your brother or whatever in your dream and you felt like you are inside him like a soul like the previous dream, right? He was punching a mirror out of anger or sothing and you felt the pain? Now that's really worrying.
Are you okay? Was the pain too much? Describe more to about it in your next letter. I want every single piece of information. Have you told Luc? That silver punk might know sothing.
If you haven't told him yet, tell him soon. Then, tell what he says. No, it's fine, I will ask him myself. I will send him a letter now.
I can't bring myself to calm down, you know. It's a good thing you told and did not hide it out of concern that I will freak out. Yes, I am freaking out, but that's no reason for you not to tell .
Just take care of yourself, okay? I am worried about you.
And I am not hurt. I am taking care of myself. So, you do so as well. If you are bored, go to the magic tower. You don't have to force yourself to work if you don't want to. Just shove them all to Kenzo.
That said, you also ntioned in the second letter that you will go to the festival with them. Be careful, okay? Calix will also go with you, right? Don't go anywhere without Luc, Luc's parents or Calix. Danger always seems to find you.
I am not saying it's your fault. Just be careful, okay?
After nagging a lot more about my safety in the letter, he finally talked about his day. Just like I said, he gave detailed information.
I thought he would not want to go to the festival, but his attitude surprised a bit. It seed he got past his insecurities a lot.
There were tis when I wondered what it would be like if he truly locked up. But would he lock up for real? It was a tough question. He told many tis that he would lock up if he had to. I always wanted to ask him, if would he truly do it. But I never could.
I could not open my mouth.
I read Evelyn's letter while the maids were doing my hair. I had saved it to read the letter because sothing ca up at that ti.
I had not seen her after Mother's funeral. The bond between her and her daughter was not very strong. She did not even co to et her even though it had been quite a long ti. Ava did not seem to mind as well. I asked her about it indirectly, but Ava understood and said she did not care.
I felt bad even though it was not my business.
I talked to Dem about it, but he said it was not unusual. In his family, parents were not very close with their kids. Their relationship felt robotic, sotis like a business and sotis like an investnt.
In her letter, Evelyn ntioned traveling more. They had not left Mazazine. They could not find anything interesting related to Mother. Perhaps she had not given up yet.
They at least should have co to their daughter's birthday. Last year, because none of them ca, I prepared a party for Ava. She was a party lover like her mother. I did not know that before. She was very happy and thanked a lot. I wanted to lie to her and say that her mother was the one who told to prepare a party for her because she could not co.
But Dem told not to. According to him, Ava knew her mother well and would see through the lies, so I refrained from doing so.
"This dress is pretty normal looking, isn't it? No gemstones on it, yay! I look like a commoner now?"
"Uh… Your Highness still looks like a Queen no matter how much we try… We even skipped the diamond earrings…"
"That's because you guys are used to seeing and know that I am the Queen," I shrugged. "I think I actually look like a commoner. If not a commoner, at least just a noble lady, not soone from the Royal family."
I was more comfortable walking in a normal dress anyway. This dress was much more comfortable.
"We all are going to wear commoner's attire today. I am quite excited!" I exclaid. After being the Queen for almost two years, wearing regular clothes felt special to . So people wanted this life. But I still wanted to live a simple life.
After getting ready, I went downstairs with Calix where everyone was waiting for . Iris had gone on a vacation with her family, so we could not invite her. Abel had sent a long letter explaining why he wants going on vacation and why he had to do it anyway. It was adorable as he was truthful. Experience tales at empire
One of his reasons included he had to listen to elders about what he did not like and because of that, he could not do everything he wanted to do.
"Wow, you all are here!" I exclaid. "Mom, Dad, it's been a long ti since we last saw each other."
"Yeah, my daughter, it has been," Mom said and hugged . Dad joined too.
"It's just been one month. Stop being dramatic," Luc grumbled.
"Are you jealous? Mother-in-law and Father-in-law hugged you that way too," Ruby said.
"I am not jealous!"
"Our Luc is still a kid. He needs Mom and Dad's attention all the ti," Mom mocked.
"Don't be like that, dammit!"
"Pfft…"
Along with , others started laughing too. Luc was completely red. I had never seen him embarrassed that much before. Usually, he felt like soone who never got embarrassed. It turned out that was not the case.
"Blue looks a lot less like a commoner, doesn't she?" Dad said.
"Well, that's because we are not used to seeing her like this. In our eyes, she is still the Queen," Mom said.
"That's true. That's the sa for you two too," Luc said.
"And you still look like a holess man. That's the sa for you too," Dad said.
"Dad!"
"He is not lying, Luc. If you had just lived in a healthier way, no one would say it to you," Ruby said.
"Thank goodness, Ruby has beco your wife," Mom said. "Or, I would have passed away worrying. She can keep you in check. Thank you for everything, Ruby."
"I will keep doing my best, Mother," Ruby smiled.
"You all just like to mock ," Luc grumbled.
"Don't sulk, Luc. You also mock my husband a lot," I said. "Don't you forget that. You are guilty too."
"I was not mocking that guy. He is the one who kept…"
"Don't talk like that about His Majesty, Luc," Dad warned.
"Be respectful. We didn't raise you this way," Mom added.
"It's funny to see the master of the magic tower get scolded by his parents," Calix whispered to .
"Mom and Dad can't bear to hear any disrespect toward the King," I whispered back.
Well, even so, Mom warned about Dem and told multiple tis to be careful. I was a human and Dem was a werewolf, an Alpha. If he lost himself as werewolves did, he would not listen to . She told to make sure I was ready all the ti. Even Dem did not know when it could happen. It still had not.
It happened when one emotion took over them, especially anger. Other emotions could trigger it too, but it had to be sothing that affected them extrely.
And only mated werewolves faced it. It was like an extre urge to mate with their partner. Dem had never felt it before. He liked to have sex and was sotis very aggressive. But it was not the sa thing as losing himself. That would much more extre.
