Lillian's POV
I stared at this handsome face in front of me that made everyone drool, and the sense of fear quickly moved away from me. I did not expect that I would see him again so soon. This is just like a dream.
I dare not speak or even blink, for fear that my dream will break.
"Yes, Prince Carden." Helen's voice broke the silence.
The brown wolf changed his previous ferocious attitude and prostrate oneself on the ground, expressing his surrender to the man. Afterwards, she quickly left my bedroom with her tail clamped.
"Are you okay? Sorry, I should have restrained these rude guys earlier."
The handsome man stared at me closely, his blue eyes filled with concern.
"P... Prince Carden?" I captured the most important information and repeated it blankly.
"Yes. I am Carden Jackson Alexander, the prince of the Blue Moon Pack, the future king of Alpha."
He spoke out a series of titles proudly, then he paused, with a charming smile that was a little shy, "And, Princess Lucia's future husband."
In his loving eyes, I felt for a moment that I really became Princess Lucia. But soon I woke up, and my stomach twitched violently, making me feel pain all over.
I am so happy, he seems to like me. But at the same time, I am really sad, why would I meet him in this capacity? I have to deceive him— I am full of lies, not worthy of his love at all!
"Do not cry, please." He said suddenly.
I realized that my face was wet. Argh! He must think I am a weirdo!
I was about to break free of his embrace, but he suddenly lowered his head, making me subconsciously stop all movements and closed my eyes. My eyelids felt a gentle, moist touch. The masculine breath sprayed on my face.
BUMP.
BUMP.
BUMP.
My heart beats faster and faster as if to break free of my body and jump out of my mouth.
After a while, I opened my eyes timidly. Carden is still staring at me, his sight is too hot. I could not control my gaze, and looked at his full lips—he just kissed away my tears with his lips.
Oh, my Gosh! Why do those people say Prince Carden is indifferent? He is so good at seducing women!
"I think you must be terrified by the wolf just now. Your face is so red, do you feel sick?"
Hearing his serious inquiries, I wanted to cover my face with my hand.
Well, what they said was right, if Prince Carden was not deliberately teasing me, then he really did not understand girls.
"I am a little tired." I brace my forehead and pretend to be exhausted.
"Okay, see you later."
After he said this, he did not do anything. I could not help but look up at him, did not he mean to leave?
"Take a good rest, I will give you a surprise later." He touched my head, reluctantly let go of me, and then left the bedroom with big strides like a gust of wind.
As soon as he left, I felt the surrounding air lighten up. The temperature on my face also gradually decreased.
Prince Carden did not seem to be surprised at my appearance in the palace. So when he met him at the lake that day, did he already know that I was "Princess Lucia"?
But my dress that day was simple and crude, and I was washing dirty clothes, these are not what a princess would do.
If he has doubts about my identity, what reason should I use to fool him?
It seems that my situation has become more difficult. I can not help sighing. But I was shamelessly delighted by the fact that Prince Carden was the man I wanted to meet.
I understand, I understand it all. If I immerse myself in feelings and let myself be immersed in the wedding brought by the false identity of "Lucia", once my true identity is revealed, I will suffer twice as much damage.
Lillian, can not fall in love with him.

Under the guidance of the servant, I changed into a loose and comfortable skirt. Then she helped me untie my hair bun and turned my hair into a long braid, hanging over my shoulders. It made me look soft, but beautiful all the same.
I prefer my current outfit, which gives me a little bit of my original look back.
Dinner time will come soon. My bedroom was on the third floor. The servant led the way ahead, with me behind her, down the long revolving staircase.
"Lucia, are you feeling better now?" Prince Carden was standing at the stairway on the first floor.
Is he waiting for me?
I nodded to him, "I feel good now. Thank you for your concern."
"You go down first, I will take Lucia to the restaurant."
"Yes, Prince Carden."
The servant left, and Carden and I were left here. I felt nervous and unconsciously grasped the hem of the skirt.
"Please do not be afraid of me." Carden walked up to me.
"I did not." I denied, staring at his shoes. Once he gets closer, I will have to duck back.
"I know it is generally difficult for humans to accept werewolves, especially after we transform. I have already punished Helen. I promise that nothing similar will happen in the future." He took a step forward.
I took a step back. "But Helen was right. I have never seen a human marry a werewolf. So, it is only right that she thinks I am not good enough for you."
"In fact, in our tribe, there have been several human and werewolf couples. They lived happily. Just because these deeds have not reached the kingdom of man does not mean they do not exist." He took a step forward again.
I took a step back again. "But that is one of the few... Ah!"
Damn it! I was tripped by the stairs!
A sturdy arm wrapped around my waist, and my body was carried back with a rush of strength.
*Snapped*
The smell of warm sunlight exploded around my nose.
"You are always so careless."
Once again, I was lost in his affectionate blue eyes.
It took a while before I found my voice. "Although I am a princess, my country is not strong. You should know why the king wants me to marry you. Do you really think we... you know I mean, is the marriage between werewolves and humans good? " My voice sounded a little dry, even incoherent.
Ah god! I do not know why I want to ask this?
Perhaps the chagrin in my heart was not well hidden and it was captured by Carden. He smiled, his laughter was low and full of magnetism.
"I can understand your worries. But my answer is that When a werewolf falls in love with a human, he will hide the sharp teeth he is proud of, and the sharp claws that can tear everything apart. He is willing to change for his lover, become a human being."
Carden lowered his head and approached me.
And I have nowhere to hide.
"As long as you don't fear me anymore."
