Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 776: The Nauseous Arielle
"Simon, I’ve found a more spacious place to rest. Let’s go there," said a girl, while dragging the man’s body to go from there.
The man named Simon turned his head back to see who had said the name he had been buried with a long time ago. However, when he turned around, the two people who had been talking earlier had disappeared, making him wonder if he was hallucinating.

Arielle returned to her room when one of Prince Khaled’s guard told then that the ship was ready to leaving the port. William helped Arielle to get up and they returned to their respective rooms.
From the window, Arielle could see the steam of the ship polluting Northendell’s gray sky. The color of the coal vapor was no different from the always dark Northendell sky.
And it’s snowing again.
The snowflakes melt instantly when they hit the sea water making a soft ripples on the surface. Arielle could feel the steady movement of seawater. And the port looks smaller and smaller.
It’s still early. Meanwhile, Arielle had rested very soundly all night. She still has plenty of time on board. Arielle also spends her time reading books.
Until noon when there was a knock on her bedroom door. Lucas arrives with lunch. Arielle doesn’t really have any appetite right now. The movement of the ship increasingly made her dizzy.
"Are you experiencing seasickness, Your Majesty?" asked Lucas who was worried to see Arielle’s face getting paler.
"Um... I don’t know. But I feel nauseous."
"Your Majesty, you have seasickness then. Please wait for a moment, I’ll immediately make a tea for you. Actually it would be better if you sat outside for a while to get some fresh air but it’s snowing now. You must be very cold."
Lucas put lunch for Arielle and permission to leave the room. Arielle felt nauseous which she felt was different from nausea from seasickness. But Arielle will let Lucas do what he thinks is good for her.
Lucas returned with a warm brown drink. Arielle tasted it. Both of her eyes opened wide when her tongue tasted some spices which she rarely tasted when they were in Northendell.
"Isn’t this ginger?" Arielle asked Lucas who was still standing waiting for Arielle’s opinion regarding the drink he made.
"That’s right, Your Majesty. It is ginger tea that helps your body feel warmer."
"Wow, it’s rare for me to taste it when I’m in the palace." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Lucas confirmed. Also some spices are really hard to find in Northendell. They had to import it from several spice-producing kingdoms such as Thebis and Nieverdell. Spices became very expensive items that were also valuable for the Northerners.
Arielle enjoyed her drink. It fits perfectly on the tongue. Arielle thought she wouldn’t like it because of the spicy ginger flavor but Lucas added a bit of honey to balance the taste.
"This very tasty. Thank you very much, Lucas."
"With pleasure, Your Majesty."
Lucas glanced at Arielle’s untouched lunch plate.
"Is your nausea getting worse, Your Majesty?" Lucas asked worriedly.
"I feel better after tasting your brew now."
That’s not what Lucas meant. Lucas was worried because Airelle was not eating well. The king had given him a message to continue to pay attention to the queen’s appetite.
"Is there any food you would like to eat, Your Majesty?"
Arielle thought for a moment. She’s not that hungry at the moment. The food Lucas had made ended up untouched. But for some reason, after tasting the drink made by Lucas, Arielle suddenly wanted fruits from Nieverdell, one of which was strawberries.
Arielle quickly shook her head. She didn’t want to bother Lucas. Where can that man get strawberries in the middle of the sea like this?
"I think I don’t want anything right now," replied Arielle covering her desire for strawberries.
All Arielle knows is that they only brought lots of Frostberries, Arielle’s favorite fruit. But currently Arielle does not want it. Usually Arielle never refuses Frostberries. No matter how full Arielle is, she must have room in her tummy for Frostberries.
"Very well, Your Majesty. Please call me immediately if you need anything."
"I understand, Lucas. Thank You."
"And ... how about your food, Your Majesty? Would you like me to warm it up again?"
"No need. You can bring it back. I’m still very full right now."
Lucas nodded in understanding. He brought back the food he brought earlier for Arielle. In front of Arielle’s bedroom door, Lucas let out a long sigh. Perhaps he should make more ginger tea concoctions for the queen.
Lucas ran into William who had just returned from the captain’s room.
"That’s the queen’s lunch?" asked William because he saw Lucas who had just left Arielle’s room.
"Yes."
"She is not eating?"
"Her Majesty is suffering from seasickness right now. She’s nauseous and I’ve made a ginger tea concoction for her. Queen has no appetite."
"Ah... this is dangerous," William muttered.
"Excuse me?"
"Don’t let this be heard by Ronan. The man will be restless," William ordered. Lucas didn’t understand what William meant but the man just nodded and then returned to the galley.
Arielle sat daydreaming still not getting tired of looking at the ocean.
(My love)
Arielle straightened. Her lips curved into a smile when she heard a familiar voice in her head.
"Yes, Ronan?"
(What are you doing right now?) asked Ronan through their telepathic bond at this time.
"Just daydreaming. Seeing the ocean which is much wider than a lake."
(You see them from your room?)
Arielle frowned. She was confused why Ronan knew that her room had a window that could see the sea directly. Arielle cleared her suspicions and nodded.
Forgetting that Ronan was not with her, Arielle replied, "Yes. I saw the view from the bedroom window.
(Look near the deck of the ship. You’ll like it even more. The view of the sea is beautiful, Arielle.)
"Am I allowed to leave my room?"
Ronan’s laughing voice echoed in her head.
(Are you my prisoner, sweetheart? Who forbade you to leave the room?)
