Chapter 701: Going Home

Yarin's POV:

Lily did not come to see us off on the day we left. Her injury did not allow her to move around.

Looking at the window on the roof, I saw Lily lying behind the moon-white curtain. She met my gaze and smiled as she waved.

"Goodbye, have a safe journey."

She mouthed silently to me.

The royal family rarely traveled by air, except for special missions. Firstly, once an accident occurred, the chances of survival would be extremely slim. Secondly, as werewolves, we are very similar to wolves in nature. In other words, we have a slight fear of heights.

But this time, we had to take a plane home. Time waits for no one. We couldn't let the royal train travel slowly like it did when we came.

We departed in the morning and returned to the palace in the afternoon. Bertha had already brought cleaned the court with the other servants to welcome the Queen's return.

It hadn't been long since I left, but I felt like it was a lifetime ago. Everything in the palace felt familiar yet strange. Too many things happened during this period. They were noisily crowded, stretching out the few days indefinitely as if they had been dreaming for an entire year.

Due to such a significant incident, not only did my grandfather receive orders to wait in the palace, but even my grandparents, who had returned to Europe to live in seclusion, also rushed back.

Of course, the elders were concerned about Heller and me. However, their heartache turned into reproach before their master because Heller and I were the only ones who suffered all the damages after this trip.

My parents were lectured by the three elders one after another. Grandma even proposed to take Heller and me away for some time.

"Before the children reach adulthood, why don't they follow me and their grandfather to live in Europe? Of course, Cynthia can't be left behind."

Grandma hugged us and grumbled unhappily, "It happens that the children are of school age. Many private schools in Europe are very good. From what your father and I have seen, many royal families like to send their children here."

They said that because my parents didn't tell them about me and the demon. Otherwise, forget about taking me to Europe; my grandmother would make me stay in the temple and never take a step out.

"Let's talk about this later. At least in middle school, Aldrich and I hope the children can stay in the werewolf pack. They still need to shape their understanding of the world. It's not good for them to enter an unfamiliar environment too early."

My mom always spoke coaxingly when facing my grandmother, who was like an old child. "It's not easy for you and Father to come back. Why don't you stay for a while longer before going back?"

Grandma nodded. "Of course, you and Aldrich will be very busy. I can't let my babies be left alone."

She had selectively forgotten about the servants in the palace.

My mom nodded with a bitter smile. Grandpa also smiled helplessly. Grandma loves us very much, but sometimes she was too nervous.

After settling the old people, my mom told Heller and me to rest first. She would devote herself to endless work again, and the fatigue in her eyes was heartbreaking.

Only my dad could accompany her. As for Heller, Cynthia, and I, we still had much to learn about government affairs.

"Welcome back. I heard that this was a very soul-stirring journey?" Cynthia asked curiously in the game room.

Thinking back to what happened in the Silver Moon Pack, I couldn't help but feel glad. "It's a good thing you didn't go, Cynthia. If it weren't for the fact that I met someone, it would be enough to make me never want to set foot in the land of the Silver Moon Pack again.

"You met someone? Who?" Cynthia immediately perked up at the mention of this. "Isn't it too soon? However, who could guess the goddess' thoughts? So who is it? Did you confess to her? Are you guys official? Do I get to meet her?"

I pushed her face away and whispered, "Calm down. My love life is not like an opera. It's not that melodramatic. The marriage situation of the werewolves is not enough for the goddess to be anxious enough to arrange a blind date for a junior high school student."

"So, she's your chosen mate?"

"You can't say that. After all, only when you're together can you be considered a chosen mate..."

Hearing my words, Cynthia's expression immediately turned pitiful. With her many years of experience in opera, she could tell at a glance that I was a 'loser'.

"So, you were spun off, my poor brother. Don't be too sad, my dear, you know first love is always sour like green plum, you are heartbroken for its fragrance, but it always returns you with a sour ending."

She patted my shoulder sympathetically, but I didn't think I couldn't see that she was gloating. This mean girl!

"So, what's her name?"

"... Lily."

"Oh, I see. I know her. She's Aunt Teresa's youngest daughter, right? Let me think. She should be about our age... Four years older?" Cynthia shrieked in surprise. "Goddess, I really couldn't tell that you were into older women!"
