Before he went to the castle, he took out a jar from his small bag consisting of a cream that he slathered around his exposed skin. This cream he brought from his new wolf pack was a specialty there. It was an item used to hide the scent of a werewolf for at least three hours. It was useful for assassination, espionage, or even during guerilla battles against another wolf pack.
However, Rock had never used it before, because he was so powerful in his new pack that he could’ve just slaughtered the enemies with ease.
’I am still no match against His Majesty, so I have to be careful right now.’
After covering his exposed skin with the cream, he jumped from the tree branch and dashed through the woods until he reached the castle wall.
He climbed the castle wall with ease, and once he landed at the castle ground, he looked around, only to find there was no guard.
’It seems that everyone is so joyful and relaxed today, to the point no guards are standing around the castle ground,’ Rock thought. ’This is the perfect opportunity to meet with my Princess!’
Rock dashed around the castle ground to find an opening. Of course, it would be dumb of him to just walk through the corridors. There might be no guard, but the servants must’ve been busy inside the castle, and he couldn’t let them spot him.
He found an opening through an open window from the second floor. There was a small light akin to one or two candles from inside, so he suspected there must be someone there.
He remembered that room as a guest room, but he couldn’t help but wonder, ’I don’t think that room has ever been used before. Does His Majesty have a special guest? Or is it Princess’ guest?’
As he stared at the window from below, a woman suddenly poked her head out. She was gazing up at the full moon, and with Rock’s ability to see in the dark, he could clearly see the face of the woman.
She was young, probably around Princess Swan’s age.
She had long, straight black hair, a signature feature for people in the East, and her eye shape only confirmed his assumption. frёewebηovel.cѳm
She had a thin smile while gazing at the moon, as if she was longing for something... or someone.
Rock caught himself staring at this mysterious lady for a long time, and he muttered out of instinct, ’What a beautiful woman...’
Rock usually didn’t have any opinion about the opposite sex. Other than Princess Swan, whom he thought to be extremely beautiful and alluring, this woman was the second one to ever catch his attention.
’Is she a guest from the Eastern Long Dynasty? Is she Princess Swan’s friend? She’s such a kind and sweet person, I’m sure her friend would be just as kind and sweet, right?’ Rock pondered. He went quiet for a while until a question popped into his mind, ’Does she have a man by her side?’
Rock closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He tried to detect any sign of a werewolf or other beastmen in that room, only to find out two other things instead.
