Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 567: Arielle Introduce Her Family To Irene
Ronan looked at the three dragon eggs on the special table where Arielle had placed them well.
"What are you going to do with them?" he asked.
Arielle looked up and glanced at the three dragon eggs that Ronan touched.
"Um... Lord Otis and Maxieno said I just needed to wrap them with the hottest flames I could release."
"Every day? At all times?"
"I don’t know, Lord Otis said only in my spare time."
Ronan nodded in understanding. He managed to distract Arielle and then went silent again. Meanwhile, Arielle invited Irene to touch Riel’s very soft fur.
"They’re very soft, right?" asked Arielle while touching Riel’s back who was now sitting quietly on Irene’s lap.
"Yes. It’s soft and warm."
When Arielle was talking about the bunnies, there was another knock on her library door. William had arrived with some of the people she had called earlier.
Ronan told them to come in. Arielle looked around the room and felt that the seat in her library would not be enough for everyone. She took the initiative to invite others to sit with her. Tania sat beside Arielle, followed by Aimee and then Lazarus. Next to Lazarus was Kael and Lucas, while William sat beside Irene.
They sat in a circle. Only Ronan remained on his couch with one leg raised and resting on the knee of the other.
"Irene, I want to introduce you to all my friends here. There’s one more, but he doesn’t live here with us anymore."
Arielle then touched Tania who sat beside her.
"First, this is Tania. The one who has taken care of me since I was a baby. I have treated her like my own mother..."
"Your Highness..."
"Tania is my first friend who I really care about. She is an excellent storyteller before you go to bed. Besides, her voice is very good. If I have trouble falling asleep, then Tania will always be there to accompany me."
Tania looked at Arielle with tears in her eyes. She had always been taken aback by Arielle’s incredible growth and development. The girl had now completely built up her confidence. Tania then smiled at Irene.
"Princess, if you are having trouble sleeping, you can call me. I have lots of fun stories to help you fall asleep," said Tania, introducing herself to Irene.
"Then, beside Tania is my friend too. Her name is Aimee. She is very beautiful, isn’t she? She helped me in many ways, especially helping me with my task of learning to be a princess."
Arielle then drew closer to Irene to whisper. "If you want to use a beautiful dress, you can ask her for help," she whispered, making Irene blush. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Aimee didn’t know what Arielle was whispering, but whatever it was seeing the twinkle in Irene’s eyes made her feel like she was seeing a little fairy. Aimee’s heart was beating fast as Irene smiled shyly at her, and she responded with a light wave of her hand.
Lazarus sat with his body fidgeting impatiently, waiting for his turn. He couldn’t wait for how Arielle would introduce him to Irene.
"And beside her is Lazarus. Er... Lazarus..." Arielle was trying to remember something significant about that man.
Arielle racked her brain, but all she remembered was Lazarus who kept chasing her here and there, asking her help for arranging a meeting with Aimee. Besides, she just kept remembering how Lazarus was beaten by many people, and almost became a father before marriage.. Lazarus was.... Arielle frowned, trying to remember the good things the man had done.
"Lazarus is just Lazarus. Nothing special," Ronan cut in while smiling amusedly because Arielle couldn’t explain Lazarus’s good side to Irene.
"Hey!" Lazarus protested after seeing Ronan seemed satisfied with his own comment.
"Princess Irene... I am Lazarus, the Great Admiral of Northendell. I ruled many seas and traveled almost the whole world by ship, rode in stormy seas, and became the greatest man in Northendell," Lazarus said confidently.

Ronan frowned, but he let Lazarus say whatever the man wanted.
Irene pulled Arielle’s hand then whispered to her. "Arielle, what is the sea?" she asked.
"Lazarus, Irene asks what is the sea?"
"Ah... the sea..." Lazarus clapped his hands enthusiastically. "The sea is an expanse of salt water... It stretches far, far away and covers most of the earth’s surface. Princess, have you ever seen a lake?"
Lake? Irene seemed to know it. It was a huge pile of water. The first time she saw it, she was confused about how they collected that much water...
Irene then nodded energetically.
"The sea is much wider and larger than a lake. It’s like the endless sky, the sea is similar to it. Blue and endless. The difference is, the sky is above while the sea is below."
"But, I can’t swim," Irene said.
If the sea was wider than the lake, it meant she had to swim like wolves, right? Irene couldn’t do it. She had never tried it.
"You don’t need to be able to swim. We’ll ride an object that can float on it. It’s called a ship. If Princess Irene wants to see the sea, I can ask Ronan’s permission for a short trip to see the sea together," replied Lazarus.
"Is that true?"
Everyone glanced with baffled faces, especially Ronan. He was surprised because it was Arielle who looked very enthusiastic at Lazarus’s invitation earlier. Lazarius chuckled, so did Aimee, making Arielle’s face flush with embarrassment. She subconsciously looked more enthusiastic than Irene even though Lazarus invited Irene instead of her.
"If you want to join, I will gladly provide my best ship," Lazarus said, giving Arielle a wink.
Arielle cleared her throat, then turned to Kael. However, Lazarus raised his hand again. He still wanted to speak.
"Yes? What’s wrong, Lazarus?" Arielle asked.
"I forgot one thing. Besides the greatest person in Northendell, I’m also Aimee’s fiancé," said the man, surprising everyone, as well as Aimee.
"Since when?" Aimee asked confusedly. She suddenly became someone’s fiancé without her knowing it. Kael also frowned. He turned to Lazarus with a glare, asking for an explanation.
"Oh, come on... we are in a relationship, aren’t we? Aren’t you going to marry me later?"
"Huh? I know that, but since when did we become engaged? You have never proposed to me," Aimee replied.
"Huh? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Didn’t you say we were going to umph!" Aimee covered Lazarus’ big mouth to keep the man quiet.
"Princess, just go on. Please don’t listen to this crazy man’s words," she said to Arielle. The confused Arielle felt that there was still some unfinished matter between Aimee and Lazarus. However, looking at Aimee who tightly shut Lazarus’ mouth, it seemed that she didn’t want to talk about it any further.
"Irene, beside Lazarus is Kael. He was the Highest Commander of Northendell Knights. He is the bravest man in the north. Besides me and your brother, Lord Kael will always protect you. He is a very strong person. You don’t have to be afraid anymore."
Kael bowed down briefly. "I will dedicate my life to protecting the royal family. You can trust me," he said a little stiffly.
"Oh, and Lord Kael is also Aimee’s older brother. Like you and Ronan," said Arielle, making Irene nod in understanding.
"And I will also protect my sister from irresponsible men," Kael added, while glancing at Lazarus.
