Chapter 66: Tense

The healing performed by Eden caused a flash of light in her hand. It indicates that the healing has been completed. And just waiting for the result.

A flash came from the direction of one of the windows in the villa. Samuel immediately jumped into the window which gave off a lightning-like glow. Just like Curtis, he had no trouble jumping to the second floor.

"What happened?" Samuel asked.

Then his body froze when he saw Eden at Noel's bedside. Even more surprising, Swana and Yerenika seemed to have no problem with Eden's existence.

"Explain what the hell you're doing?" Samuel asked.

The enemy he had been looking for was here and Swana did not scream. That was really suspicious.

"Nothing special Sam. I release Eden from all charges for successfully healing Noel."

Swana came forward and gave an explanation. But before that, she handed the royal seal to Noel who closed her eyes and held her forehead.

"But... you should have told Commander Curtis about this first!" Sam protested.

"Don't worry, he will definitely support my decision."

Samuel was silent. He knew that what Swana said was true. Curtis loved Swana so much that he would support whatever his Luna mate would do.

"I give up. I won't interfere with the mess you've made. I'm only in charge of getting you to safety and will bring you back safely too. And as for politics, I won't interfere," Samuel said.

Swana was satisfied with Samuel's decision. Then he turned to Noel.

"Noel, how are you? What are you feeling?" Swana asked.

Both she and Yerenika were waiting for Noel's answer.

"I should be the one asking you. What happened? Who is Curtis and why is the royal seal in Swana's hands?" Noel asked.

Yerenika and Swana immediately hugged Noel. The man's answer revealed that he had recovered. The two girls cried with emotion because Noel was finally completely healed.

"Thank God, we've been waiting for your recovery, Noel," Swana whispered.

Noel was silent, and so was Eden. Both of them had their own thoughts. Only Samuel returned to the troops in the villa courtyard. And Swana knew that he would tell his subordinates to report everything that happened to Curtis.

"Alright, there's no more time. Let's go back to the kingdom. In the carriage, I will explain everything," Swana said.

Noel did not refuse, she was actually still confused by the situation.

"Then I'll take my leave. Our deal is here and I'm relieved to no longer be a fugitive. "

Eden also said goodbye. She also wanted to organize her life with Anna.

Swana nodded slowly. "Thank you Eden. May you live well in your new place," Swana prayed.

Eden smiled faintly and disappeared after casting the spell.

"Gosh, I really need to hear your full story," Noel muttered.

He and Yerenika headed to the royal carriage. They were followed by Swana. On the carriage, Swana explained what happened during the rebellion of her father and Killian.

"Well, I remember now. Killian betrayed me. After that I don't remember anything," Noel said.

Swana took a deep breath. "It turns out that the slave I bought in the gladiator arena was the Commander of the kingdom of Arta. He took revenge on the inhabitants of the magic tower. What surprised me was Luna's mate Curtis. So save me when Killian manages to kill king Damian and take the throne."

"Father..." Sadness spread through Noel's heart. He felt useless for not being able to save her father. More than that he couldn't save Swana, Yerenika and the entire kingdom.

"Curtis made me queen then and I am the queen of the Sinclair kingdom now. However, I think you know who the true ruler is," Swana explained. She didn't want Noel to seek death by finding trouble with Curtis.

"So you're a puppet queen?"

"No, Curtis supports whatever I do and decide. He's the biggest supporter." Swana didn't want Noel to misunderstand. "You know what political infighting is like among the nobles. Only Curtis can stop them because they fear him. "

Noel thought and realized that Curtis was an influential person. He began to worry if Curtis would oppose his ascension to the throne.

"Then he won't be angry if I replace you," Noel said.

"I don't promise. Because I have made a fatal mistake by freeing Eden. "

Yerenika, Noel and Swana sighed. They were preparing for a much bigger problem. That was Curtis' anger.

Curtis read the letter given by Samuel. He really did not think that Swana would dare to plan such a thing secretly. Now he began to doubt Swana's love because his wife did not think about him at all when she decided to free Eden.

'You knew that the man killed all the werewolves in the tower. But you set him free,' Curtis growled.

Moments later, the sound of shards and broken items could be heard in Curtis' study. They were heard by the servant and Nancy.

'Oh my, the thing I was afraid of finally happened. I hope Queen Swana is okay after meeting with His Highness Curtis. '

The whole palace became tense. No one dared to leave the room. Even the servants were hurrying to finish their work so they could enter the room. All because they heard that Curtis was furious.

Of course, Curtis' anger could be felt by Swana. As Curtis' soulmate, she felt her mood drop and she felt uncomfortable. Swana was sure that the uncomfortable feeling she felt was Curtis'.

"I think I'm in trouble. Yerenika, Noel, when you arrive at the palace, you should immediately enter the room where His Majesty Damian used to be," Swana ordered.

That was the only thing that could save the two from Curtis' wrath.

Noel snorted. "We're returning to our own palace but we're afraid of the Commander of a foreign kingdom. We are no different from a colony," said a cynical Noel.

"Shut your mouth!" Yerenika hissed. "If you protest you can duel Commander Curtis and die. If not then shut up. Just so you know, the life I live in the villa is much better than being imprisoned underground like Killian did!"

Noel didn't answer. He had no intention of dying in vain. Noel still wanted to be a king in the kingdom founded by her ancestors. So Noel remained silent. And the only way was to cooperate with Swana's orders as well as submit to Curtis.
