LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 7: Royal palace 1
The birds were singing and a new sun was shining in sky.
I was sitting on the dining table with food in my mouth, I looked at mom and dad who were sitting with down face while they were keep giving each other quick glances back and forth.
"Do you guys have something to tell" i asked while chewing my food
On my words, Mom and dad both looked at each other with worried eyes, it was like they wanted to say something to me but the words were stuck in their throat.
"Mom you are looking beautiful" I spoke up to break the thick silence with a smile and a wink
"Thank you honey" mom gave me a half hearted smile while gently grabbing my hand placed on the table.
Okay....now! something has really happened and they are just trying to hide it. "Tell me" I stopped eating and looking at them with serious look
Is it about Daveis Norman....?
Mom turns towards me while slightly rubbing the back of my hand she was grabbing "We have something to tell you"
"I can understand that much" I grab back mom's hand "now say something before I die out of curiosity" I said while giving them both a quick glances desperately and well a bit scared.
Dad look down at the plate of food in front of him "The king has called for you"
Motherf*cker!!
I knew that, I knew well! I knew that bastard would be scheming something.
Alexander D'Hara The man sitting on the throne like a leach. Not only did he made unfair laws regarding the werewolf on the pretax that the king is finally giving laws for the protection of the werewolf but he also increased the tax in the empire.
That bastard is a greedy dog who is always hungry and well ...as for calling me to the Royal place I think I already know what he is going to say.
Mom hurriedly held both of my shoulders and it took me out of my thoughts "look when you meet him you must bow probably" she said with eyes filled with concern and fear as her gaze was flickering from my one eye to another one
"You must bow probably and even if he says something odd you mustn't oppose it" she said while slightly squeezing my shoulders
"Look honey...whatever he says, it doesn't matter what you mustn't talk back to him"
"Whatever he says just nod your head...do not smile more than necessary and don't get angry"
The king is not only greedy but he is also very dangerous, if a werewolf is murdered inside the empire then his family would be given ten gold coins, but if they dies in the battlefield or outside the empire then it will taken as they have made a sacrifice to protect their homeland. And there is nothing,...absolutely nothing else.
The laws he made are absurd.
I don't have any personal feelings for the werewolves since I have never even seen one before, but listen this unfair law, I could only imagine how much of a devil that man is.
"Just remember the less you talk the better it is" dad said while tightening his grip on the table and keeping his head down.
After looking at both of them I took a long inhale with a smile "okay, okay I got it" I moved my index finger from one corner to the other "my lips are sealed...is that enough" I said with a smile showing my full teeth.
Looking at my smile mom and dad both took a long inhale and then finally gave me a smile.
This is first time in my life that I am dealing with such things
From childhood to now I have only seen my parents smile and laugh with me but from the moment we gave got the news of Daveis asking for my hand in marriage, even a ordinary news will make the room temperature drop.
I am not good at consoling people so rather than using complicated words I should just agree with what they want to say.

I was standing in my room facing the mirror "ARRRHHHH OUCH OUCH OUCH" I screamed while crying with hands tightly grabbing on the corner of the dressing table "you are going to kill me Lila..you are going to kill me"
Lila was holding the strings of the corset which was crushing my body to death and she pulls it again with her full might, making me scream in pain again.
I hate it....I hate this thing
