Yet, she showed no intention of revealing his secret, despite the situation threatening her honor as a woman. Her pale, restless face was now a sight of pity.
“Don’t worry. I will protect you. I promise, on my name.”
The story of humans transforming into beasts was not unfamiliar to Arabell, especially in her countryside estate surrounded by mountains. It was like a frightening fairy tale told to children on long summer nights.
The beast, the black panther, was more monstrous than humans, and a creature that could transform between human and beast. Villages that witnessed such a creature were said to be utterly destroyed.
The black panther hunt, started a century ago, was also to eradicate such beings. According to the clerics, the black panther was said to be the last beast capable of human transformation. Now, such creatures were merely things of children’s nightmares.
But the black panther, believed to have disappeared from the empire and the continent, had resurfaced 25 years ago. It was said to be the strongest of all such creatures that had appeared.
The creature had even infiltrated the capital’s royal palace, killing the crown prince and abducting the crown princess. The whereabouts of the beast and the crown princess remained a mystery.
‘Monsters no longer exist in our times.’
Perhaps the man before her was the last remaining monster of the empire. Ignoring his confident gaze, Arabell twitched her nose.
It seemed he had been badly injured while fleeing. He looked incapable of even looking after himself, yet he was making grand claims of ‘taking responsibility.’
“Are your injuries no longer hurting?”
Arabell lacked the courage to look at the area near the man’s navel, where his wound had been, so she cast her eyes down. The man looked down at his own body, where now only faint bloodstains were visible, with no significant injury in sight. A satisfied smile spread across his red lips.
“It’s completely healed. Quite miraculously.”
“Good to hear. Then…”
Arabell began to back away, saying,
“I should leave first. If my father catches me here, I won’t be able to follow my master; instead, I’ll be sent to a convent.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she hastily sprinted towards the cave entrance.
Running out of the cave, Arabell glanced back and shouted,
“Please, don’t get caught and hide well in the forest. If you come near the village, it will be a disaster. I’m leaving the village soon and won’t be able to help you anymore.”
The man narrowed his eyebrows as he watched Arabell disappear from the cave entrance.
“She disappeared without even telling me her name.”
But that didn’t matter much to him. If he wished, he could find out how many spoons were in her house by the end of the day.
What really bothered him was her words about leaving the village soon.
He remembered her lips, which didn’t stop babbling while warming his cold body last night. She kept boasting about ‘the world’s most handsome and perfect master.’
“Unfortunately, things won’t go as you plan. Now that I’ve found you, I cannot let you go.”
He had finally found the clue to the curse he had been searching for so long. His beautiful ruby eyes momentarily deepened to a dark crimson.
Just then,
“Your Majesty, the Emperor!”
“Your Highness, Maxwell!”
Two men, cloaked in long capes, slashed through the moss curtains and burst into the cave.
The knights of the royal guard, with pairs of legs that moved with precision, bowed respectfully.
“We are relieved you are safe.”
“We beg for punishment for failing to protect you!”
Both knights looked as though they had been scouring the mountains all night.
As the man slowly rose, his long shadow fell over the knights’ heads. An intense aura of both chilling cold and burning heat emanated from his towering nine-foot stature.
A cloak was draped over his body, reminiscent of the god of war.
“Before that, by today…”
The two knights bowed their heads, silently awaiting their lord’s command.
As he ran his long fingers through his black hair, pushing it back from his forehead, his dignified face was revealed.
A chilling aura that seemed to suppress everything around with just one glance emanated from him. It was a sharp, arrogant expression, a far cry from the half-hearted demeanor he had shown to the girl with clear eyes.
Maxwell de Fonte August, the 27th Emperor of the flourishing Helterd Empire, decreed,
“There is someone I must find. Someone who must return to the palace with me.”
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
