The Unwanted Princess Becomes Loved in the Werewolf Kingdom and Becomes Queen! – Chapter 21
Chapter 21: A quiet story, I am a wolf, Part 2
Hey, it’s Mikolash! How’s everyone doing?
Lately, I’ve been in an extremely good mood. Why, you ask? Well…
“Oh, Mikola! Come on in!”
It’s because I’m on good terms with Queen Ermengard.
She’s lying on the bed with her arms open, beckoning me over. I walked towards her without hesitation and leaned my cheek against her flower-like face.
“Oh, that tickles! Mikola, you’re so silly, fufu!”
Ellie (that’s what Ivan calls her, so that’s what I’ve been calling her) smiled happily and messed up my fur. It seems that she likes my fur coat and always happily strokes my head whenever we meet.
She’s a bit unusual, but a good kid nonetheless. I’m glad she’s recovering from her cold. She looked terribly uncomfortable, so I was really worried about her.
“Hey, Mikola. You can communicate with all the werewolves, can’t you?”
Over the nine years, I’ve completely come to understand human language.
However, that doesn’t mean I can speak. My words can be understood by the werewolf tribe, but they don’t reach Ellie. It’s a bit unfortunate that I can’t talk to you.
“I envy them. I wonder what it feels like to be able to talk to you.”
I take back what I said earlier. It’s not just a bit unfortunate, it’s really unfortunate.
As Ellie looks at me with a wistful smile, I lower my tail. She immediately notices and strokes my chin.
“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s not like I’m in pain or anything. Should I ask for an interpreter next time?”
It’s okay, I understand perfectly.
Actually, Ivan asked me to look after Ellie while she was bedridden with a cold.
But, to be honest, I wanted to take care of her from the beginning. She’s Ivan’s wife, so she’s like my little sister, you know?
Get well soon. Then let’s play together.
At that moment, a knock is heard and my partner enters the room, waiting for Ellie’s reply.
[Hey, Ivan. Did you come to visit her?]
Without thinking, I spoke to Ivan, but he couldn’t understand me as he was currently in human form. However, Ivan was a mysterious guy, and I felt that he somehow understood what I was saying. When he patted my back and head, it felt like he was trying to comfort me.
“Ellie, how are you feeling?”
As usual, he had a stone-cold expression. Can’t he be a little more friendly to his own wife?
“Uh, y-yeah. It seems like my fever has gone down a lot. Thank you, Ivan.”
Ellie’s face is bright red. It’s probably because she’s embarrassed to be called by her name without honorifics. She’s so cute.
“Um, I’ve told you before, but you might catch my cold. It’s better if you don’t come too close.”
“If I’m going to catch it, I’ve already caught it. Don’t worry, I have a strong body.”
Saying that, Ivan offered a basket of fruit.
I had been wondering since earlier if it was really a present. He’s unexpectedly thoughtful.
“Feel free to eat as much as you want.”
Hey, watch your words! Can’t you speak a little more politely, you simpleton?! Despite being an exceptionally handsome guy, why are you so clumsy?!
By the way, these are fruits that Ivan personally picked. If you casually mention that, the conversation would be different. He is really a clumsy guy.
Oh, I see. He is blushing… Upon closer inspection, his ears are turning red. This characteristic of Ivan is something you wouldn’t notice until you become somewhat close to him.
“Thank you…!”
In any case, Ellie’s happy face is really something.
She is such a good girl. She can properly receive the thoughts of others. Regardless of whether the gift is of high or low value, she will make the gift giver happy.
Well, maybe she is happy because she likes it. Whether it’s the fruit or Ivan, or both.
“It looks delicious. Such a splendid fruit.”
Ellie takes one apricot and enjoys its scent. She brought it close to my nose, but the smell was too strong for a wolf’s nose, so I turned my face away. She apologized and laughed.
Hey, Ivan. When humans see a wolf, they either scream or try to hunt it. It’s not common for them to approach and talk to us like she does.
You can’t let her go. Do you understand?
“I’ll have Dasha peel it for me later. I’m looking forward to it.”
“Yeah. Make sure to get the nutrients you need and heal quickly.”
At that moment, I was taken aback.
The man who seemed to have forgotten how to smile was smiling faintly.
What the hell? These guys are getting along better than I thought. I was worried because Ivan doesn’t trust humans, but it seems like I was worried for nothing.
Ah, they’re gazing into each other’s eyes.
They say even dogs won’t eat when a couple is quarreling, but a loving wolf couple won’t eat each other either. (?)
