Yarin’s POV:
“Then, we won’t eat it for now,” Lily said. “I’ll help you collect more so other children won’t take away the collection during your parade.” 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨
Heller looked at her with gratitude as his eyes turned soft, “Oh, Lily, you’re so nice!”
He pounced on Lily and hugged her waist. Lily was a little stiff, but she did not push him away.
I looked at her in surprise, but she just shrugged, indicating that it was nothing.
Lily was not as cold as she was when we first met!
This realization made me happier than attending the Moonlight Festival.
The speech began. My mother stood on the high platform in the middle of the square, comforting the people’s uneasiness about the future with a firm tone, encouraging everyone to have hope for a better life.
We sat in our seats, facing the sea of people and countless viewers watching TV or the internet.
It was only then that I felt a little nervous. Only when this moment came did I realize what it felt like to be watched by everyone.
I was a little at a loss, but I remembered the teachings of the old-fashioned old lady in etiquette class. I tried my best to maintain a calm expression and control myself from fidgeting too much. I didn’t want to be the news headline the next day.
After the speech ended, the people cheered loudly. They shouted my mother’s name and prayed for the Moon Goddess to bless the werewolf pack with peace and prosperity.
My mother had always been good at responding to the people’s expectations and working hard to make these expectations a reality in the future.
“How do you feel?” My father’s sudden question startled me.
“What?” I asked.
“What do you think of your mother’s speech, boys?” Our father hugged us, his expression full of love and pride for his wife.
Following his gaze, my mother was standing on the high platform, receiving the cheers of the people. She was graceful and graceful, her mind was filled with wisdom, and her body was filled with power. She was like the incarnation of the legendary Moon Goddess in the human world, just like the ancestors who once led the werewolves, who were about to lead the werewolves to a more glorious future.
At this moment, I realized that my mother was a wise queen.
Just like the stories told to me by the people around her, my mother started as an ordinary girl in a small town. She experienced countless hardships, endured pain that ordinary people could not bear, broke through the difficulties that ordinary people could not, and finally done the crown that belonged to her.
Many people have told me, “Your Royal Highness, you are the first heir to the Queen. In the future, you will have to shoulder the responsibility of the werewolves like the Queen and become the guide for your people.”
It was a task that had been given to me since I was born. It followed me like a shadow, and I often ignored it.
But now, as I listened to the cheers like a tsunami and looked at the figure on the high platform that seemed to be shining brightly, I suddenly felt the weight of this natural destiny. I asked myself, could I be like my mother and bear the hopes of countless werewolves?
My mother made me proud, and I yearned for her, but I didn’t know if I could do it if I were to become her.
My silence caught my father’s attention. He patted my shoulder and rubbed my hair. “Feeling nervous?”
“… Yes.” I nodded.
My father smiled, not caring about the flashes at all.
“It’s nothing, boys. It’s normal to be nervous. Do you know what kind of joke I made when I first attended a social event with your grandfather? I was so nervous that I even forgot my name. When I saw the surprised look on the person opposite me, I realized I had said your grandfather’s name!” “Really?” Heller exclaimed.
“Of course, I was so embarrassed that I refused to see anyone for months.”
Heller giggled, and so did I.
“And your mother, the night before she officially faced the media for the first time, she was so nervous that she couldn’t sleep. She chatted with Dorothy for half the night and finally fell asleep alone, but Dorothy couldn’t sleep!”
“You must be lying to us!” Heller said in disbelief.
I looked at my father and seemed to understand what he meant.
“It’s the truth, Heller. Be it Mother or me, we all have moments when we don’t know what to do. We also have moments when we feel uneasy and even doubt ourselves.” Our father saw through our uneasiness. Heller didn’t smile anymore; instead, he waited for our father’s words.
“What I’m trying to say is, it’s nothing, kids. What you are thinking, what you are afraid of, what you are uncertain about, I have experienced it before. I understand your feelings. When the time comes, even if we are fully prepared, we cannot avoid being affected by it.
“But believe me; this is all temporary. No hurdle cannot be overcome. Perhaps the obstacle to the future is right before us, making us doubt whether we can solve it. But in fact, all we need is time. Through the accumulation of time, when we touch the once unreachable predicament, we will suddenly discover it.
“The seemingly insurmountable difficulties have long been quietly resolved in our growth. All we have to do is to laugh through it and embrace our beautiful future..”
