Chapter 124: The Legend
I should have known that something like this or something very similar to this was the case; however, it just didn’t seem possible. Humans cannot be wolves. As far as I was aware, the king, Prince Darius, Prince Leonard, and Prince Florian, all of them are human.
Being told so seriously and so suddenly that they were wolves was just insane.
“It can’t be...” I replied with the only conclusion that my mind could bring itself to believe.
There is no way that members of the royal family are wolves. Despite all the strange things that I’ve seen and experienced with them, it still cannot be. There’s got to be some kind of explanation for this although I had no idea what it was.
“Well, I guess I can’t really blame you for having that kind of reaction. Perhaps, after hearing the history of this kingdom you will come to understand more...” she said before trailing off.
My eyes shifted to focus on the large projector screen that had morphed into an illustration of a wolf sitting on a throne with many other wolves surrounding it. Madame Sand cleared her throat again and began telling the story right from the beginning.
“A long time ago, a princess was born in a very rich and flourishing kingdom...” she began in a voice that intrigued me beyond measure.
As the story goes, a long long time ago a princess was born to a very generous king and a very loving queen. The kingdom was flourishing after many years of war, and everything seemed to have settled down. The arrival of the princess filled everyone’s heart with joy. Everything was supposed to progress smoothly for the princes; however, a stormy night changed all of that.
The storm came unexpectedly, and it rained all night long. Lighting streaked the sky and thunder roared everywhere. No one really knew what happened or how it happened or who was at fault for what happened. At the break of dawn, the young princess had disappeared without a trace.
