We looked at each other and smiled.

Dorothy quickly became serious again, saying, “My prophecy is about your love with Sir Aldrich. Unfortunately, I can see that you’re about to embark on a path filled with poison and thorns. Love will be extremely difficult and might even get you killed.”

What?

I never thought that a sweet relationship would bring about a fatal disaster. Dorothy would not lie to me; a witch’s prophecy had never been wrong. I could accept that the road of love was full of thorns, but I did not expect it to lead to death.

“That’s impossible... ” I grabbed my hair unconsciously and muttered to myself, “Even if everyone disapproved of us, even if some of us might have a change of heart in the future, how could we be moving toward death? This doesn’t make sense.”

Dorothy looked at me helplessly. I didn’t expect a small prophecy to bring me so much pain.

I hadn’t been in a relationship with Aldrich for long, but I’d fantasized about our beautiful future countless times at night.

The happiness in a dream should be filled with flowers, laughter, blessings, and gentle love, not rough thorns and death.

I couldn’t accept such an outcome. Without realizing it, tears started flowing from my eyes.

Dorothy panicked and took out a handkerchief to wipe my tears. “Don’t worry, Selma. A prophecy is just a prophecy. The future is not fixed. However, perhaps a careless decision we make right now can completely change the future.”

“Really?” My tears blurred my vision, and I could not see her clearly. “Please don’t lie to me or try to comfort me, Dorothy. You don’t know how important Aldrich is to me.”

If I were to return to my rebellious fourteen-year-old self, if someone told me that I would cry for a man one day, I would have refuted and told him that it was impossible.

However, at the darkest and most despairing moment of my life, my fate suddenly took a 180 degrees turn. I received family and love at the same time. How could I not cherish it when I had nothing?

‘Aldrich, my love, if that day comes, I beg Moon Godness to summon me first, not you.’

After I calmed down, Dorothy said, “From ancient times until now, those famous prophecies seem unbreakable, but those who know the prophecies unconsciously force themselves to walk on the established track.

“In fact, the prophecy is only a reference. It’s based on the current situation and the most likely future, not absolute.

“I can see that the tragedy of fate does not lie with you, and it does not lie with Sir Aldrich.” She said firmly, “It’s just that I’m too weak. The culprit is shrouded in a dark fog. I think he must have used some method to shield himself. I can’t see through him.”

I heaved a sigh of relief upon learning there was still a chance for a turnaround. But, at the same time, I felt ashamed for my childish tears earlier. Was this how the future Queen behave? She was so captivated by a childish romance that she couldn’t even understand the whole story and was already crying out loud in embarrassment.

My blushing was so obvious that Dorothy even awkwardly consoled me, “It’s nothing. When the shift is approaching, our emotions will fluctuate. I’ve been very excited recently. I should’ve noticed the abnormality long ago. If I had prepared earlier, I wouldn’t have dragged down the Academy.”

As she said this, she started to complain to herself.

“How can you say this is your fault?” This time, it was my turn to comfort her. “No one can decide their birth origin. It’s not a mistake to be mixed-blood, and it’s not your fault. To be honest, I think having mixed blood is pretty cool. The love between a werewolf and a wizard is so romantic!”

“Don’t say that... ”

Dorothy did not want to discuss this, so I ended the topic quickly.

We ate some desserts to fill our stomachs. Dorothy seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she said, “Actually, there’s one more thing.”

“What?” I enjoyed the cranberry pastry without looking up.

“You’re not a relative of Her Majesty the Queen, but the real princess, right?”

“What?” I stopped chewing and subconsciously wanted to deny it. “Why do you think so? The Lycan King and the Queen don’t have a daughter. I grew up in Europe, didn’t I?”

Under Dorothy’s ‘I know everything, you don’t have to lie’ gaze, my voice grew softer and softer before finally, I said, “Okay, that’s right. I’m Princess Madeline. For some reason, I have to use a different name.

“And don’t tell anyone about this, okay?” I pleaded, “There are many complicated factors involved in this. I don’t want to cause trouble for my parents. The elders are already enough trouble for them.”

Dorothy swore that she would keep it a secret.

“You will become a great Queen!” She said, “Even greater than your father.”

“Is this what the prophecy said?” I was very curious.

“No.” Dorothy shook her head. “It’s not just a prophecy. I think so too.”

I was a little embarrassed to receive such a direct compliment. “I’m still far from that.”

After we played for a while, my mother came to ask me to go for dinner. After she found out that a classmate was visiting me, she thoughtfully set dinner time for us alone.

“I should go back,” Dorothy said after dinner. “My grandmother is still waiting for me at home.”
