Yerenika And the Shield

As expected, the royals would protest Noel's decision.

They showed their anger openly.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister and the advisor are people who supported you from the beginning. But why did you revoke the royal status of both of them," Augus, who is the minister of home affairs, voiced his opinion.

"What Marquist said is true, Your Majesty. The prime minister was very loyal to you. But his fate has come to a tragic end."

Brak.

"Shut up!" Noel shouted and kicked the table.

"Do you think I don't know the game Jacob and Eros are playing? I've already got proof of their use and desire to gain political control by getting rid of Chief Curtis. "

"Do you take me for a fool!?"

"That's impossible, Your Honor, we wouldn't believe if they did that."

Noel's eyes narrowed. He also threw the letter found in Jacob and Eros' residence.

A proof that cannot be denied because of the distinctive seals of both of their noble families.

"Read them all! You'll know that I haven't kept quiet all this time. If anyone throws another tantrum and threatens the stability of the kingdom then I will make him suffer the same fate as these two," Noel threatened.

Everyone was silent. Now they knew that they had no chance of doing the same thing as Jacob and Eros. However they also wanted to influence Noel to destroy the northern region inhabited by Curtis.

"I'm just reminding you that Curtis and Swana are my eternal allies. There will be no influence from anywhere that can make me distrust them," said Noel.

Noel's statement and affirmation shocked the royals again. They lowered their heads. It turned out that Noel was also not someone they could control easily. They were very happy when Swana handed over the throne to Noel. At that time they thought that Noel was easily influenced.

The news was soon known by Yerenika. She was happy and proud of her brother's attitude.

"Really?"

"Yes, Princess, His Highness has left the nobles speechless. Everyone is terrified by his threats," replied Yerenika's trusted servant.

"Good job, Mila. Keep reporting what happens in the meeting room to me. And don't forget to spread spies to every noble house so we can get information," Yerenika ordered.

Actually, Swana never told her to send spies to the nobles' houses. She had learned that from the previous queen.

Yerenika had the idea to strengthen Noel's position. As long as her brother doesn't have a partner who can strengthen his position, she will be the backbone of Noel's strength.

"Don't worry, Princess. I've got it all taken care of. I've put some servants who spy on the homes of all the nobles."

"You are really reliable, Mila. Take it, it's a fitting reward for you," Swana handed over a bag of gold coins.

Mila who saw it panicked. She didn't want any reward. She only wanted to serve Yerenika. There was no other intention. Moreover, Yerenika has made her life much better. So what he did also included returning the favor.

"Princess, please don't do this. I sincerely serve the princess and do not expect anything," Mila said. She knelt down so Yerenika would not force her.

Yerenika chuckled at her servant's words.

"Silly girl, I of course know your loyalty. But I also have a desire to make my trusted servant happy. So take it," Yerenika said.

For Yerenika, Mila was a very important person. She met the girl when ja was the lowest servant. The higher servants always played tricks on her. That led Yerenika to investigate Mila's background.

It turns out that the girl is an orphan who lives with her sick mother. Of course, she needed a job and did not give up even though her seniors made her work harder than others.

Yerenika suddenly remembered the message of the previous queen if loyalty could come from returning the favor. Yerenika feel that girl is the right person. So Yerenika made the girl her servant. And it turned out that she was very smart and diligent. This led her to take Mila as her chambermaid and send a physician to cure her mother. Of course, Mila became very grateful and devoted her life to Yerenika.

With teary eyes, Mila accepted Yerenika's gift.

What Yerenika and everyone in the Sinclair royal palace did not know was that their every move had been monitored by Curtis through his men. Just like Yerenika, Curtis also did not want to let his guard down.

So he assigned Samuel and others to sneak around and spy on the kingdom. And it happened to be Samuel's turn today. He heard all the conversations from Yerenika and her servants and was satisfied.

"It was not in vain that Lady Swana trained him," Samuel murmured.

Now his feelings of admiration for Yerenika grew stronger. This was frightening to him. He had to stop this feeling to avoid getting into trouble later.

To keep his heart safe, Samuel decided to go home early. He didn't want to meet Yerenika and mess up her feelings again.

''Moon Goddess, how long do I have to wait for my luna mate to arrive," Samuel muttered. He hoped that if he met his luna mate, then his feelings for Yerenika would evaporate.

Unfortunately, the moon goddess still hasn't given him a soul mate. So that makes him unstable and can like any woman.

Tap.

Samuel's footsteps suddenly stopped. Something he had always wanted began to emerge. The powerful scent of pheromone took over his world.

"This scent..."

Samuel was of course very excited to find the owner of this scent. He had been waiting for the owner of this pheromone for a long time.

Surprisingly, he went where he left off. He jumped towards the window, where Yerenika's room was. Unfortunately, the room was deserted, and there was water splashing in the bathroom.

'The scent is getting stronger,' Samuel thought.

He stepped closer to the bed and found something that answered his question.

"The seal of the witch."

No wonder he had just smelled this scent. This seal was apparently worn by Yerenika. The seal prevented the werewolves from smelling his luna mate's scent.
