LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 6: Monster
After returning from the festival and getting a scorn full from mom while dad was just teasing and smiling from behind her, I was finally send to my room.
"It was rather dangerous this time" Lila said while walking behind me and slowly taking off the small jewelries I gave her
"That old man has some guts" I said while remembering the carriage driver. Although I wanted to tell dad about it and he would have taken care of him but after hearing so much from mom, it's better to have my lips sealed or if she get a air of it, she is going to ground me completely
"Leave it since we aren't going to meet him again" I said while interviewing my fingers behind my head and leaning back while walking.
"Hah I am more worried about the werewolf thing"
Lila looked at me with low eyes as she rush forward and started to walk side by side
"Do you know anything about werewolf Lila"
"I do know a bit but if we want to get good information then we should rather look for some books" she said while trying her best to read my emotions
"Books, books...hmm....I think dad do have some books in his study that could come handy"
"But it's hand to get inside his study"
The enemity between the humans and werewolves trace far more than in history, from a long time the humans have ruled over the Werewolf. They are considered such low that talking about them was a sin punished by death.
No one were allowed to talk to them or touch them, they were treated worse than a beggar. But as the next king sit on the throne, he took it to the other lever by chasing them out of the EMPIRE and giving them the Jungle area for living, near the border
Although now the rules aren't as strict as before but we still aren't allowed to touch them or help them, heh a marriage, would I will be able to step back in the empire after becoming a wife of the a man lower than a beggar
The daughter of the minister married to the a man who is no better than a dog. Wow my life is really a adventure.
As I looked towards Lila I found her staring at me very precisely "is there something on my face"
"You are so beautiful My lady" she said while forming a soft smile on her face. Yeah I do am considered beautiful and it's all because of my mother. Father says I am a little version of my mom.
"Thanks Lila" smile.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
in the middle of the night when the moon was shining in the sky two people were silently walking while hiding in the shadows.
I stopped suddenly and and Lila's head bump on my back, we both were covering ourselves with black blankets while, walking on our toes secretly. we were already outside my father's study room
There is very less information available about the Werewolfs and even the less the resources are, but as my dad being one of the most trusted people of the king he is allowed to keep these forbidden books in his study.
And well I am not allowed to read them...hehe. but now that I have no choice I have to take the risky step.
"Do you have the keys" lila whispered behind my back as we were sticking to the wall
"Yeah" I whispered.
We slowly open the lock, while lila was covering the lock with the blanket to prevent it from making much noise, Since this was the first time we were doing kind of thing and more, when there is strict rule that we aren't allowed to enter this room.
From an young age I knew about the werewolf but only to the point that I needed to know, and apart from that my parents never shared any further information....what's so scary about werewolf?
The lock open and we pushed the big door from both slides. I slowly walked towards the books sitting on the self and saw a book named....The monsters who hunt in darkness
Hah...look at the title, I am sure it's about the werewolf....monsters? Well a very peculiar term to use. I pulled the book out and pat the dust off it,Sneeze. "How long have not cleaned this place" twitching nose.
"Shhhhh" lila narrows her eyes at me
"Okay, okay" I open he first page of the book, werewolf: the innocent, what? The first page of the book and it's already betraying the title of on the cover.
I was holding the book with one hand when suddenly the book slipped off my grip but
I still had the red cover in my grip. A fake cover?
I picked the book from the ground and now the title of the cook was completely different.....
Werewolf the innocent.
