The Werewolf King's Bride

(From Blue's Perspective)

I don't know how to start with those 'dear' things. It's weird. But hope you don't mind it that much.

I couldn't reply to your letter earlier as I was busy and wasn't back until tonight. And you asked me how am I so many times that it was in every step of the letter. Anyway, I am fine though I have a headache and I miss you. By the way, how are you? I am not good at writing personal letters and it is my first time trying, so even if it's bad, bear with it.

There were a lot of mosquitos to take care of. But I'm trying to finish as soon as possible. I miss your scent. I can't wait to be with you again and you know, do a lot of things to hear some of your sweet voice.

By the way, did you get scared of the bird when you saw it in light? That day, the room was dark. So, surely you couldn't see it. But it seems like you still managed to adapt to its look.

The food isn't good as well. It's annoying. The pub I went to served only bread, along with different ingredients. They served exactly what I hate. I think there was cheese, garlic, sauce and some other things. Perhaps you would have liked it.

I can bring the recipe for you if you want to though I won't ask myself. It would be weird. But if you want to, I can manage to get it.

Are you eating well? You need to eat more. Your body needs immunity, especially since you're practicing swordsmanship now. But I think your appetite has risen as well since you are moving more.

And keep your distance from everyone. I mean, talk to them, but still, keep your distance. I don't mean anything bad, you know. I mean, I just don't like it when you are too close to others. But you can tell me if I'm being too much.

You told me in your last letter that you talked to Mother and spent time with her. Did she tell you anything weird? She likes you a lot and you can rely on her. But she might want to support a bit too much than necessary. Tell me if you're uncomfortable in any way. Or if she told you anything weird, tell me as well.

Did you visit Luc? He sent me a letter saying that I should let you go there to hang out with him. That punk wants someone to talk to and spend some time with. You can go there if you want to. You might be bored.

You can also go to the library. But take your maid or guard with you. Don't go anywhere alone. I know I have said all these things before leaving as well. But I'm just reminding you. It's important to take someone with you no matter where you go.

You're a human after all. Werewolves are not good you know. So, be careful. If you notice anyone suspicious, notify Mother right away. She will know what to do.

Goodbye. And sleep well. I will bring something back for you and I will try to come back as soon as possible. So, be a good girl until then.

I read it again and again almost ten times even though I memorized every single word only by reading once. I was really happy. Finally, he had sent me a letter. It was my first time getting a letter. Perhaps that was the reason I was happier than usual.

"Your Highness is really happy today," Ruby said.

"Yeah. Demetrius has sent me a letter. I'm so happy!" I exclaimed, sniffing the paper. Ah, I was being weird. But I could not help it. I felt like a teenager in love.

I had recently become an adult. Maybe that was why I still had a teenager's tendency within me.

"By the way, Ruby, when do girls become adults here?" I asked.

"When they are sixteen," she replied.

"That means you're an adult too, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"What about boys?"

"Eighteen," she replied.

"Oh," I mumbled. "In my country, we become adult when we're eighteen."

It was night time and Ruby was combing my hair. She said it was good to comb hair before going to sleep. As I did not care about it much, she kind of forced me to let her comb my hair.

"What is Your Highness's country's name?" she asked.

"USA- it means United States of American," I said. "It's the first time I told someone the name of my country in this world. It feels weird. I kind of got used to here."

"It is good that Your Highness has gotten used to here since you have to stay here for the rest of your life."

"Well, that's true. I like it here as well. It's really luxurious."

"When Your Highness said that the coming of age in your country is eighteen, did you mean both boys and girls?"

"Yeah, that's right. Well, it can be different in other countries. In Australia, Belgium, Germany, Mexico, Netherlands, it's eighteen. I mean, it is eighteen in most of the countries. In my country, there are fifty states. In most states, it's eighteen.

But in Alabama, Nebraska, Puerto Rico, it's nineteen and in Mississippi, it's twenty one. In Japan and In New Zealand, it's twenty," I explained. "Ah, I talked too much again."

"It's no problem, Your Highness," she chuckled. "I don't mind at all. I heard Your Highness talking to His Highness many times. It's like Your Highness can be yourself with His Highness properly and His Highness enjoys it as well."

"He has to listen to my blabber sometimes," I sighed.

"But His Highness likes to talk to you. He even smiles at Your Highness. Your Highness might not understand this, but it is really a big deal for us to ever witness His Highness smile. Before no one ever saw His Highness smile. He always have this poker face, no offense," she said.

"Is that so?" I laughed.

"Yes, Your Highness. But when His Highness is with Your Highness, he seems like to turn into a completely different person," she said. "None of us ever thought of seeing His Highness like that. He is a great king, so we all wanted the best for him. That's why when His Highness brought Your Highness here, even though Your Highness is a human, all of us was glad.

Even though His Highness had many mistresses, there was a rumor that His Highness did not sleep with any of them and just paid them to act."

I took a deep breath in as I found myself thinking how much Demetrius had changed. I had never seen anyone as loyal and determined as him. Truly I was too lucky to find someone like him. Of course, he had not slept with any of the mistresses since he was waiting for me- that was what he told me.

"Your Highness, remember when you told me that you don't know if His Highness wants any children or not? How did that chat go?" she asked.

"Oh, that? You see, I can't use birth control medicine anymore since it's bad for my health. Dem doesn't like kids. And I don't want to have one right away. But we decided to keep the child if we have one," I said. It was actually not the whole thing.

As I was a human, it was almost impossible for me to conceive his child. But if I did get pregnant someday, we decided that we would keep it.

To be honest, I wanted to have a kid who would look just like Dem. He was so gorgeous and handsome that it was hard to look away from him. If our kid looked like him, it would be great. I was mostly attracted towards his black silky hair and black eyes. But he did not want to have a kid who looked like him. I understood now why he said that.

It was because of cursed eyes. Werewolves with cursed eyes had demonic abilities. In case of Dem, it was reading minds. I could understand how frustrating it was to read minds and more importantly, werewolves were wary of cursed eyes. Perhaps Dem did not want our kid to have cursed eyes and that was why he said that.

"It would be good if the child looks like Your Highness," Ruby said.

I clenched my teeth. I could not help but get angry. "Why?"

"Your Highness is beautiful, especially your eyes. A kid will look great if they have your eyes, Your Highness," she said.

"Is that the reason?"

"No, Your Highness," she mumbled. "It's definitely not the only reason. It's not about what I think and truly speaking, I don't mind. But Your Highness, cursed eyes are not really welcomed here."
