Chereads / A World of Lust and Love / Chapter 8 - Year 1739

Chapter 8 - Year 1739

The king was sitting on his throne, huge and massive, made from all sorts of sark diamonds. It was in the conference room of the Moon Keep, in the upper part of the castle. Next to him was the throne of the consort, queen Josephine, which today was empty, like most of the times. Paintings, statues and symbolics of wars and successes were decorating the room, the werewolf royal guard was near the king, his assistant at the door, and next to him his most trusted friend, his servant, Lucas. The people were coming and going to have their problems heard.

- This is really starting to concern me., - king Daniel told Lucas, - I bet all the rest have the same problem.

- This is year 1739, you know what that means., - and the king really did know what it meant, but he never cared to listen the words of witches, he hated them. He was always in search of distractions from the pain, not in search of adding himself more problems.

The assistant entered again with yet another person:

- He is Jordan your grace., - he spoke, - He really looks desperate.

Dan moved his head in sign of dismissal and turned his attention to Jordan:

- Come close! Tell me what is the problem.

- I went on a haunt in Granada with three of my friends., - the king noticed tears filling his eyes and he couldn't decide if he was feeling sorry or angry again, - Only the two of them returned, - he finished.

- How did it happen?, - he just demanded with a kingly attitude.

- His name was Morris, the leader of our pack. He fell in a hole and riffle shots were heard and than his last bark!, - there was a passion of pain in his voice, a grief that maybe made Daniel feel a bit of compassion, - I just... I was too late to... I couldn't do anything to stop them, none of us could!

Such were the complains of the werewolves today and the king finally walked out with Lucas.

- I didn't really believe until now!, - Lucas said.

- Me too, but the bloody witches are always right!, - the king responded with an angry tone, - But they said this all can be avoided!

- It is simple right? If humans do not decide to come up here.

- If they do, we will kill them all!, - king Daniel said firmly and angrily.

- But let's hope we won't have to get that risk.

- Call the most important people from all neighborhoods in the kingdom tomorrow!, - Daniel ordered Lucas, - Let's end this quickly!

The next evening around 10 pm, thousands of werewolves had come knowing very well what was the matter. The king came out accompanied by only the guards and servants. He looked over the crowd and after they bowed properly started talking:

- My lords! I called you here today to give you essential orders! The situation is simple and not worth worrying much if we just do one thing! Many werewolves died two nights ago at traps from humans! It is enough to avoid entering the Granada in animal form and no accidents like this will happen! But if you do not follow this reaction, you will put at risk all our kind, because the witches warned us from a long time ago that the 1739 can be a catastrophe, that fortunately can be avoided! So if you break the new law and show up who you are in the city, you will get punished properly! Now go and make my orders known in your neighborhoods!

The kings speech ended here, it was nothing to worry about, they just needed to learn to attack less humans. The rest of the royal family didn't even concern about that, Sebastian thought that maybe this was a good thing, less damage made from werewolves.
