The Werewolf King's Bride

(From Blue's Perspective)

Our date went pretty smoothly. After returning, it was just as usual. As expected, I could not sleep that night.

The next morning, my office was already finished. It was done before I thought it would be. The workers surely worked very hard. I had a feeling that Dem was giving them pressure since when I asked him when my office would be ready, he said that as soon as possible with so much confidence.

"Doesn't Your Highness want to see your new office?" Ruby asked.

"I will go after practicing," I said.

I was almost done with my swordsmanship training when Ruby called me. She was there as well with my towels.

"Your Highness!"

"Yes?" I asked, looking back at her. "Ah, Reece..."

"I did not have anything to do this morning. So, I thought of meeting Your Highness just like you said," he mumbled.

"That's great!" I smiled. "I am done with my training anyway. Ruby, lead Reece to my office. I will be there in a moment."

"Please take your time, Your Highness," Reece said.

"He is fast," Perita said.

"Let's end this here for today," I said. "Take me to my room. I will freshen up a bit. At least, I need to change my clothes. I am sweaty as hell..."

I washed up a bit and then wore a white gown. Because it was too hot today and I was not going out, I did not wear black.

"Shouldn't Your Highness at least dry your hair?" Ruby asked.

"No, it's fine," I said. "By the way, I am quite excited to see the office."

"It's really magnificent! Your Highness will love it," she said.

Ruby led me to my office. But she was surprised for not getting the reaction she wanted from me. Rather than being happy, I was shocked. Why was it so big? I had a feeling that it was a bit bigger than Demetrius's office as well which was quite large as well.

I decided to ignore the lavish decoration and made my way to my chair. Even the chair was made of the most expensive and luxurious leather. The whole office was decorated in black and golden color. On the table, there were black roses in a gold vase. Even the pens were made of gold and had my name and signature on them.

"Jesus, lord...," I sighed.

Thankfully, there was no portrait of mine in this room. I was not so confident about my looks that I would be able to have my portrait in my office.

"Why are you standing there, Reece? Please sit down," I said.

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."

'Why are you thanking me?'

"Alright, so let us discuss everything regarding your job as my assistant," I said. I brought out a file and took out some documents. "Your academic results are quite extraordinary. You got over ninety-seven percent in every single subject during your seven years in the academy. That's really amazing!"

Kids could for seven years from age eleven to age eighteen at the academy. They did not need to come from a noble family to go there. Anyone could go there, but they needed to give a test for it. Those who passed the test were permitted to study at the academy.

"I tried my best," he murmured, turning red. At this point, the color of his face was the same as his hair.

Getting ninety-seven percent marks in the academy was really an extraordinary thing. He surely was a genius. Even the top students could not usually pass ninety-two percent, yet Reece never went below ninety-seven percent in all the years he had been there. It was a record in the academy's history.

With this kind of academic education, Reece could get any job he desired in his field. But a lot of people went against the Count's family and wanted them to fall. If too many nobles opposed a family, then it was hard for any of that family members to get a decent job.

"So, let's not delay any more. Can you start working after a week?" I asked.

"After a week?"

"Yes. Can you?"

"S-Sure, I can," he said. He seemed as if he did not expect me to tell him to start working just after a week. I actually wanted to make sure that Ruby's family knew that I was keeping my word.

"Okay, then," I said. "During this week, check this document. It's a demo document for you to check. After this week when you will come again, show me the corrected version of it. Can you do that?"

"Yes, I can," he said confidently as he took the big file from me.

"Good," I smiled. "Also, these two books- read them. You will get all the necessary information you need to know to work as my assistant. Is it too much for you?"

"Not at all, Your Highness. I can do this much," he said.

"Great. Then I will meet you after this week again. Don't lose the permission paper I gave you," I said. "I will get your identification card ready within this week. You can just show it to the guards then."

"Yes."

"You can leave now. And come at nine am next time," I said.

"Alright. I will take my leave then, Your Highness," he bowed and left.

I sighed and leaned against the chair. "Where is the king, Perita?" I asked.

She had been standing by my side all the time. She was supposed to do so when someone was present. But now that no one else was in the office other than the two of us, she took a seat.

"His Highness has gone out. He handed me this letter to give to Your Highness. Since Your Highness was talking to Lord Reece, I thought it would be a good idea to tell you later," she said and handed me an envelope.

"It doesn't matter what I am doing. If Demetrius sends a word for me, then let me know quickly," I said.

"I will keep that in mind, Your Highness."

I opened the envelope by tearing it apart. Ruby told me that it was not okay for me to behave like that. She said that a Queen always behaved gracefully. But since no one was here other than Perita, it was fine to tear open an envelope, right?

I am going out to investigate a few things. I will be back late tonight. Do not wait up and eat your dinner in time. And I heard your office is finished. Do you like it? Well, you can tell me later anyway.

Love you.

Dem sent me notes a few times whenever he needed to leave to do something. I had collected them all in an album for some reason. It should not be something special, but to me, it was.

"He has gone out for work... I was going to go to his office and tell him about my new assistant," I mumbled. I could not tell him the other day since he clearly was not interested. Even though he told me he was not interested in these kinds of matters, I still wanted to tell him about Reece being my assistant since I had a feeling that I should. "Alright, Perita, the designer- bring her to me."

"Should I kidnap her?"

"What are you saying? No, of course not. She should be here already since it's already time. In my letter that I sent her yesterday, I told her to meet me at this time," I said. "Take a look outside. The guards might have made her stay in another room since I told them not to disturb me."

I had forgotten for a moment that the designer was going to come here. So, I had told the guards that I was not available for the time being and that if anyone came to meet me with my permission paper, they should wait.

'I am really something...'

Perita went out to take a look. And I was right. The designer was surely taken to another room to wait. She had waited for thirty minutes. It had not been long since Reece left. It was a good thing I remembered first.

I actually did not think Reece would come this soon. That was the reason my routine was messed up a bit and I had forgotten about the designer.

"I greet Your Majesty, the Queen," she bowed.

"Raise your head and take a seat please," I said.

"Yes..."

"I believe it is the first time we are meeting, is that right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. It is my honor to be able to meet Your Majesty."

"Ms. Noah. I like the office you designed for me. Everything has been extraordinary and I could not have asked for anything better," I said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am glad Your Majesty likes it."

"So, I have a new job for you. It will be a bit tough since the time will be less," I said.

"Please tell me what I have to do."

"You have to prepare another office for me. And that's also in seven days."
