Wedding
Samuel took out something that he was taking seriously. A scroll with the writings of Curtis and Swana was in Samuel's hand.
"The commander and princess told me to give this to you," Samuel said.
He showed no fear despite knowing that Noel was trying to get his men to finish him off. Instead, Samuel showed his courage. For him, this was proof of his seriousness in getting Yerenika.
"Bring it here," Noel ordered.
To be honest, he was afraid that Samuel would suddenly attack him. Even though it was impossible but there was no harm in being on guard.
Yura approached Samuel and took what the man was holding. Although he was also afraid but Yura did his best not to show his fear to Samuel. Who wouldn't be afraid of a werewolf-like Samuel. Terrible strength and can get out of control when changing forms. For Yura Samuel is a demon. If the werewolves didn't have a strong kingdom, they would have been denied.
Yura quickly handed the parchment scroll to Noel. then retreated to the back.
Noel immediately opened the parchment containing Swana and Curtis' writings. His face immediately paled when he read the parchment from Curtis.
To Noel.
You probably won't believe this fact. I didn't want to say it at first but I was sure that Samuel wouldn't get a warm welcome from you. And it wouldn't be fair to him, so I decided to tell you the fact that we've been hiding.
All this time I've been assigning Samuel to protect you. Only Samuel can protect you from being killed by people who don't like you. Just so you know, there have been twenty assassination attempts on you, which Samuel has foiled.
I now leave Samuel's position to you. Whether you will act wisely or not is for you to decide. Remember, even if you have strong support, it is useless if you are lifeless.
Best regards.
Curtis.
Noel didn't expect that he was secretly protected by Curtis. And the person who was able to do it was Samuel.
Yerenika could see that her brother was shocked after reading the parchment from Curtis.
"What's wrong brother? Why is your face pale, you haven't even read Swana's parchment," said Yerenika.
"Ah, it's okay. I will read Swana's letter."
The language Swana wrote was not as frontal as Curtis. But the point was the same. She told him that there were some nobles who wanted to eliminate her and that the only one who could protect her was Samuel. So accepting Samuel as Yerenika's husband was the best thing for Noel to do. If Noel refuses then Estelle's duke will no longer support Noel.
Noel let out a long sigh. He should have known that being king was not easy at all. There were many sword eyes pointing at him. If he lost Swana's support then it was all over.
"I understand, alright Samuel. I will approve your relationship with Yerenika. But you have to keep protecting us like you have been doing," Noel said.
Samuel knelt down to accept Noel's order.
"It would be my honor, Your Highness. "
Yerenika finally smiled. She was happy with Noel's decision. Perhaps it was more like she was happy with Noel's fear that the man had accepted Samuel.
"A wise decision, brother."
The news of Samuel and Yerenika's marriage was widespread. Many were surprised by the strikingly different caste relationship. Some of them began to question which of their relationships ended after seeing the two in love.
Noel didn't want to waste any more time. He hastened their marriage so that the nobles would not influence his mind.
On that happy day, Arsion and Amber came to attend their wedding. The two of them came together as if they were a perfect match. Only the two of them knew the unfinished business.
Swana, who had a big belly, was also present. She greeted Amber happily and also questioned her gestational age.
"When will your baby be born?" Asked Swana happily.
"Two months song, congratulations on your pregnancy Swana."
"Thank you. But I see you are avoiding Arsion. Is your problem not over yet?"
"Why am I avoiding her? From the beginning our relationship was a punishment and that punishment will end soon when I give birth to my baby."
Swana had heard what Arsion had done. She did not blame Amber for being cold to Arsion. However, Swana also heard that Arsion was very sorry and corrected her mistake. She banished all the beautiful concubines or servants who had hurt Amber.
But the pain in Amber's heart did not just go away even though Arsion did that. Amber's heart was still frozen. Even intending to ask for divorce according to the original decision.
"Are you sure that the relationship is just that limited. I'm sorry if I interfered, but I want you not to regret your decision. Just look at Arsion, she regrets being careless and I'm sure she would be willing to die to get your forgiveness," said Swana.
to get your forgiveness," said Swana.
Amber was a little silent, she did love Arsion but she didn't want to get hurt again.
Before their conversation was over, Arsion and Curtis approached them. Both of them immediately stood by their respective partners' side.
"It's really exciting to find out we're going to have kids around the same time," says Curtis.
"Yes, we have the same fate except happiness. I made a fool of myself and am in danger of losing my wife," said Arsion, who was not ashamed to talk about his domestic problems.
"Amber, think again. I can see Arsion making you her Luna. If you leave her then she will be like an empty shell like before."
Everyone in the kingdom of Arta knew what happened to Arsion when his luna died. The kingdom was in chaos because the king was depressed. Curtis, and other nobles were overwhelmed to lead the kingdom to replace Arsion.
"I'm not the real Luna so there's no way she will be sad like before," Amber answered while looking down.
"You are wrong. You are very valuable." Of course, Arsion denied it. For her, Amber was like a soul mate. And he must put her by his side in order to live.
"I'm sorry, I want to feel on the balcony because the air here is too stuffy. "
As usual, Amber shied away if Arsion expressed her concern. She grabbed the waiter's hand and asked him to bring her to the balcony.
Curtis, Swana and Arsion were powerless to prevent Amber from leaving. Because they saw the hurt in Amber's eyes.
Swana began to wonder about Arsion. She wanted to know what was the basic thing that he should have said to Amber. It was obvious that Arsion loved Amber very much.
"Your Highness, have you said love to the queen?"
Arsion gasped. "What!?"
"Yes, aren't you supposed to say love?"
Arsion was silent. She had never said that at all.
"I'm sure you haven't. Go, meet him and tell him how you feel. I'm sure that will be the solution to your relationship," Swana suggested.
"You're right, I'll try."
Arsion who didn't realize how important those words were soon caught up with Amber.
"I hope their relationship improves," said Curtis.
"Yes, I hope so."
The wedding ceremony began. Yerenika was beautiful in a white dress. So was Samuel. They matched perfectly as they walked to the altar. Swana and Curtis looked happily at the married couple.
