Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

“You didn’t do anything wrong. You’re just a poor, innocent girl dragged into the center of the whirlpool. If I really want to settle the score with someone, it will be the Evaria Family who colluded with foreign enemies or your grandfather, the Earl, who turned a blind eye to everything and chose to acquiesce, but it will not be you because you said that I’m a kind and good king, right? A kind and good monarch would never vent her anger on her friends and subjects.

“Now, wipe your tears and calm down. You know that wild beasts are waiting outside to bite you when you’re not focused. You’re not willing to give up. You want freedom. I’ve seen it all. I swear I will help you break free from the family’s restraints and become a truly free and independent person.”

Emma looked at me in a daze. “But this is not your responsibility. I should be the judge myself.”

“This isn’t a matter of responsibility. It’s because I need you, so I have to help you grow and improve. This is what a monarch should do to his subjects and also what a person should do to his friends.” I cupped Emma’s face and said seriously.

“We must support each other and progress hand in hand because we are walking on a difficult and ever-changing path. This path was unpredictable, and it was rare to meet a companion who could walk hand in hand. Any hesitation or letting go will cause us to lose our companions. I don’t want to see such an ending, and you don’t want to either, right?”

Emma nodded.

I helped her tidy up her messy hair and chuckled. “Are you feeling better now? Don’t worry, come to me the next time you feel confused. I’ll always be your solid support.”

With my persuasion, Emma left with vigorous steps. She said she had some internal affairs to deal with, but I knew what she would do.

In the afternoon, my parents invited me to lunch. They told me some things during the meal, and Earl of Marlowe came to find me.

If I rejected him again, would the Evaria Family have to go through it all again?

I thought to myself as Earl of Marlowe entered the room, successfully making myself laugh.

Earl of Marlowe just happened to enter the door. After he saluted me, he asked, “You’re smiling happily. Did something good happen?”

“It’s just a small matter. I waved my hand. Compared to this, the biggest joy I’d encountered recently was that I successfully gave birth to a healthy and lovely child.

Earl of Marlowe calmly congratulated me as if he didn’t hear the hidden meaning behind my words. “I haven’t congratulated you on the birth of your son yet. This great news dominated today’s newspaper. I heard many people talking about this on the way, discussing the child’s gender and future name.”

My child had no gender, so the royal family announced to the public to cover up this matter. It was easy to explain. After all, it was not unusual to use any means to obscure information to protect the child’s safety.

I couldn’t blame the people for discussing the issue of the child’s name. Even I hadn’t thought of one yet. The custom of the werewolves was to name their children three months after they were born on the day of baptism. It was said that it was a tradition derived from an ancient legend that had been lost. I guessed the truth was that the child death rate was too high in ancient times. Many children younger than three months could not live for more than a few days, and the naming was useless.

The royal family usually used traditional names that were more representative. My name was Madeline, just like one of my great-grandaunts.

It was as if Earl of Marlowe really came to chat with me. He suggested several names with good meanings. He seemed even more enthusiastic than my father and Duke Frank, the two real grandfathers.

He was willing to beat around the bush, and I was happy to listen to these mindless words. We’d been going back and forth, and the room atmosphere was uplifting and harmonious.

During this time, Kara came to me and told me that the child was crying and asked me to go and take a look. I originally wanted to use this opportunity to send Earl of Marlowe away, but who would have thought he would say that he could wait for my return? I knew he couldn’t wait to lay his cards on the table with me.

The baby was fine, and it was normal for a baby to cry and fuss. However, because of its unusual body, we should be careful.

I waited for the doctor to examine the child before returning to the living room. It had already been half an hour, but Earl of Marlowe was still waiting. The tea in front of me had already turned cold.

I didn’t mean to ignore him this time. However, after half an hour of waiting, even seasoned politicians couldn’t help but become anxious.

When did a powerful officer who was used to having everything his way ever receive such ‘neglect’? He could put on such a kind expression right now. I wanted to applaud his ability to maintain his composure.

“Sorry to keep you waiting,” I said apologetically. Of course, it was an act. I asked Kara to bring him a cup of hot tea. “It’s difficult with children. You have so many children. I think you can understand my situation.”

“Of course.” Earl of Marlowe calmly took a sip of tea. “Why don’t we get to the main topic immediately? What will it take for you to let the Evaria Family go? ”
