Chapter 57: Are you fr?

It was a dangerous romance story about a powerful man who treated everyone coldly but secretly cared about the woman he loved. He was feared by many people, had a terrible temper, and could make his enemies tremble with a single look, yet he would do anything to protect his woman.

Hazel opened the book and smiled dreamily. "Ah, this is the kind of love I want." Unfortunately, she had barely read a page when Emily walked into the room and caught her smiling at the book.

"Don’t tell me you’re planning to try those things on His Majesty!" Hazel burst into laughter. "Of course! Those things work on everyone, but to me, he’s my baby."

She hugged the book against her chest and grinned. Emily scoffed and sat on the bed beside her. "I thought you said you didn’t want to bother him anymore."

"Of course, I don’t want to bother him," Hazel replied seriously. "The only thing I’m waiting for now is to admire him from afar and patiently wait for him to reject me."

Emily frowned as she looked at the book in Hazel’s hands. "Then why are you holding that?"

Hazel stared at her for a moment before chuckling. "Do I look like someone who knows what she’s doing?"

Emily slowly nodded in understanding. "Of course you don’t. You’re confusing everyone, including yourself. One part of you wants to chase him badly, while the other part wants to ignore him completely. The problem is that you’re listening to both sides, so you keep changing your mind."

Hazel bit her lower lip and looked down at the book."Then what do you want me to do? The moon goddess gave me twenty-eight days, and I’ve already wasted three or four days without doing anything useful."

Emily’s eyes widened. "Twenty-eight days for what?"

Hazel’s cheeks immediately turned red."I don’t know if she wants me to mate with him or just have a good relationship with him. All I know is that she wants me to stop being afraid of him and somehow make him trust me." She sighed and leaned against the pillows. "I’ve studied him, Emily. That man doesn’t know how to love anyone. I don’t even think he has ever dated a woman before. In fact, if I suddenly took off my clothes in front of him, I think he would just stare at me with that strange expression on his face and ask what I was doing."

Emily’s eyes widened so much that Hazel almost laughed again. "Is he really that bad?" she asked in disbelief. "Are you sure he doesn’t even know how to kiss a woman? Hazel, you should be careful because sometimes the quiet ones are the most dangerous."

"I’m certain!" Hazel insisted, pointing at herself. "Remember the day he was forced to put that silver chain around my neck? He touched me, and I felt sparks all over my body. I’m very sure he felt them too, but he didn’t react at all. He didn’t even pause to think about it. That man doesn’t understand feelings!"

Emily stared at her for a long moment, looking as if she were trying to decide whether Hazel was serious or simply refusing to accept the truth.."Maybe he just doesn’t want to talk about the sparks," she suggested.

Hazel rolled her eyes. "I’ve seen his type before. Remember Leon from school?"

Emily thought for a moment before nodding. "Ohhh, him! Yes, I remember. He’s thirty years old and still doesn’t know how to maintain eye contact with a woman." She looked at Hazel and almost burst into laughter. "So you’re telling me the mighty Werewolf King cannot even look someone in the eyes?"

Hazel blinked, suddenly feeling as if Emily had asked a question she had never considered before. "Must you exaggerate everything?" she complained. "I don’t pay much attention to him, but whenever I’m around, he avoids me."

"Does he avoid you or ignore you, Hazel?" "Ahhh!" Hazel groaned and threw the book onto the bed. "You’re making me feel like you’re more experienced in romance than I am, even though I’ve read so many books and researched these things!"

Emily stood up and shook her head. "I know you’ve read a lot, but I don’t think you understand the Werewolf King at all. He’s the oldest among them, and everyone knows he’s wise and far smarter than most people. Why do you think everyone bows whenever they’re standing in front of him?"

Hazel sat up and folded her arms. "Because he’s their king, of course! Isn’t that normal?"

Emily shook her head."Dad once told me that His Majesty doesn’t care whether people look him in the eyes or speak directly to him. He doesn’t demand that everyone lower their heads, but most people find it difficult to keep looking at his silver eyes for too long. There’s something about them that makes people uncomfortable."

She paused, remembering something else."His eyes are shaped like a fox’s, and I honestly don’t know what foxes have to do with we wolves. we are afraid of foxes, and his eyes are so seductive and frightening at the same time. Even his eyes lines look as if someone carefully designed them with a liner, making the shape sharper. Everything about him is too perfect and too dangerous."

Hazel became quiet as she thought about the previous night. She barely looked at Caius properly because it had been dark, and she had assumed he was too busy thinking about other things to pay attention to her. But when she called his name, she felt his attention settle on her for a few seconds, and the feeling had been unlike anything she had experienced before.

There had been fear, temptation, and several strange feelings she couldn’t explain, but she quickly pushed those thoughts aside. "Well, maybe it was because it was nighttime and I suddenly called his name," she said confidently. "Of course he would be surprised! I’m still certain he knows nothing about dealing with women."

Emily’s mouth fell open. For a moment, she could only stare at Hazel, wondering how someone who had read so many romance novels could misunderstand a man so badly.

Then she slowly shook her head. "Hazel, I think your biggest problem isn’t Caius."

Hazel frowned. "Then what is it madam?"

Emily pointed at the romance novel on the bed."It’s the fact that you’ve learned everything about love from books, and now you’re trying to teach the most dangerous man in the immortal world how to love, are you for real?"
