Chapter 159: Queen Of The Underworld Palace Part 2

The crowd automatically split apart as Ramose walked past them with a dark expression on his face. His frosty eyes swept over the Gold Blood, the cold aura exuding off his figure sending chills down the spectators' spines.

"Olsen, your mate has become quite daring." The wolf gave an icy glance to the Beta.

Olsen lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to say a word. What else could he say? The whole King's Pack had heard his mate publicly curse and call the Werewolf King's mate names. Her boldness and fearlessness made even Olsen tremble in trepidation.

If King Ramose desired to severely punish her, then she would more than deserve it.

"Ramose...?" Da**! Why is Ramose here?

Versailles was astounded on hearing her mate's voice. She instinctively raised her hand to her face and found her hood still in place. Her brows furrowed as she frowned in confusion. Her hood was still up and her face covered. So how did the wolf recognize her?

Was her voice that memorable?

Versailles was still thinking of how Ramose recognized her when the wolf in question appeared beside her and fixed his cold gaze on the serpentine before him.

"Werewolf King!"

The wolves behind Luciana immediately bent on their knees, their eyes flickering with surprise and astonishment as they wandered from Versailles to Ramose. 

The female was the Werewolf King's mate?

The two wolves exchanged glances and both saw the relief in the other's eyes.

Thankfully, they didn't take action when the female commanded them to.

The spectating beasts were staring dazedly at the intimidating pack when they heard the two wolves address. Wide-eyed and open-mouthed, they mechanically followed the two's lead and greeted the Werewolf King on their knees.

"Werewolf King!"

Luciana felt her body turn cold. Her mind went blank and she dazedly stared at the cold-faced Werewolf King arrive beside the cloaked female. 

Queen of the Underworld Palace...?

"King Ramose...this...this woman..."

She felt she was hearing wrong and turned to the Werewolf King in desperation. How could the wretched female that humiliated her be the Queen of the Underworld Palace? How could she be the Queen of the Underworld Palace? If she turned out to be the Queen...then her earlier remarks...

As she recalled everything she said, Luciana shivered and stepped back.

King Ramose had clearly heard her curse his mate in public...

Ramose ignored the shivering beasts and turned to his mate with a disapproving look.

"You left the palace without informing me. What if something had happened to you?"

"Ah...that...I wanted to see the Underworld City." Under his reproachful gaze, Versailles lost her earlier nonchalance and nervously came clean.

He won't be mad at her for leaving the palace, would he?

This was something she hadn't considered before leaving...

"If you wanted to see the Underworld Palace, you could've told me. I would've personally taken you out to sightsee. Why did you leave on your own? Do you know how worried I was?"

"Sorry for worrying. It just...if you brought me out, then it wouldn't be as fun and secretive anymore. Every beast in the city would know who I am."

"So, you came out to be secretive and have fun. Then why are you standing before a crowd of beasts and allowing yourself to be called names?"

That was his problem?

Versailles raised a brow and glanced sideways at the beast. So, his dark expression and frosty eyes were aimed at her! The wolf was obviously displeased at her for failing to live up to his expectations.

A teasing smirk appeared on her lips as she innocently asked him.

"Names? What names? You're angry because they called me some names?"

"No, I'm angry because you sneaked out of the palace without protection and allowed yourself to be cursed at."

"Oh..." What else was she supposed to say? 

I'm sorry I allowed myself to be called names...? 

Ramose crossed his arms and glared down at his mate, her unrepentant and lost expression made him feel helpless.

How was he to rebuke and scold her, when she didn't even seem to understand what he was upset about?

When he returned and found her missing, his heart dropped and all sorts of incidents popped into his mind. He even thought the Ruling Wolf Pack might've pulled a kidnapping scheme to coerce him into fulfilling their wish.

Her absence from the Purple-Radiance Palace had shaken him to the core, to the point where he felt close to losing his mind.

But he saw the female he was desperately searching for engaged in an argument with another beast on the streets of the Underworld City...

Head hot with anger, Ramose had walked towards her with the intention of scolding and publicly reprimanding to teach her a lesson.

However, as if a bubble before a sharp thorn, the moment he stood beside her and looked into her sparkling violet eyes, all of his anger and displeasure burst dispersed. And with his anger gone, Ramose couldn't summon any rage to severely scold her.

Without even lifting a hand, his mate had managed to subdue him with just a glance.

"Aye...you think I wanted to allow myself to be called names as well? Isn't it because the female is your Beta's mate that I remained silent?" The serpentine crossed her arms in a similar manner and stared back as solemnly.

"What does her being my Beta's mate have anything to do with your silence?"

"Of course, it has everything to do with it. I don't want you and Olsen to have any differences because of us females."

Ramose smiled and his whole expression turned tender within a matter of seconds.

"Light, that's very considerate of you. But if anyone calls you names, even if the beast doing the naming is the mate of my Beta, you're not to remain silent. You're the Queen of the Underworld Palace and your position is no lower than that of mine. Your silence will be perceived as weakness, and the Queen of the Underworld Palace is anything but weak. Every beast of the Werewolf Clan is yours to command and punish as you see fit. Even if she's the mate of a Beta."

Huuuuuu!

The crowd gasped in astonishment at their King's words. The Werewolf King was publicly giving his mate the permission to command and punish the mates of his Beta wolves.

And from the look of things, even if the serpentine beat the females out of their minds, King Ramose wasn't going to reprimand her?

Was this still their King? Didn't he care about his Betas' feelings?

Their gazes immediately turned to the silent Betas standing behind the King. However, the wolves' expressions remained stoic and indifferent, making it difficult to read their emotions.

The spectating crowd exchanged another round of secret glances and sighed. They wondered whether the Beta wolves even cared for their mates...

"Ah..." Versailles was speechless. She blinked twice and looked at her mate as if he were an anomaly. 

Didn't he see how hard she had to control her emotions so there wouldn't be any differences between him and his pack?

Why was he acting so...tactless?

Wasn't he afraid of losing his King's Pack loyalty by behaving so coldly and indifferently?

As a newcomer in the Werewolf Clan, she didn't want to cause a rift between Ramose and his Betas. The Ruling Wolf Pack was already there to fulfill such a role.

That's why she hadn't raised a hand on Olsen's mate, even when she felt like beating the life out of disgusting female.

And yet, here was her mate.

Disregarding everything and publicly giving her permission to beat the same Betas' mates...

Versailles gave her mate a disappointed glance and sensing the strange tension in the air, immediately changed the topic.

"Ramose, how did you recognize me? I covered myself from head to toe."

"Hmph! You're just wearing a robe. Even if you changed your physical appearance and physical body, I would still recognize you. Do you know how?"

"How?" The serpentine blinked, her violet orbs burning with curiosity.

"My heart beats faster whenever you're close by."

"..." Da**! He was flirting with her in public!

Ramose smirked and raised his hands to remove the hood from her head. Her flame-kissed hair and snow-white complexion were immediately exposed before the public.

"Hiss! That's the Serpentine Queen? She is so...so....so beautiful."

"No wonder our King treats her like a treasure. I would do it too if I had a mate like that."

"Heh...can you even compare the Serpentine Queen with your lousy mate? They're realm's apart."

"But this explains the female's fearlessness. Why would she need to fear Olsen, the right-hand commander of the Werewolf King, when she's the Werewolf King's mate?"

The spectators were in an uproar. The Serpentine Queen's outstanding beauty took their breath away. Compared to the other females in the vicinity, she was like a beautiful, dignified flower in a field of rotten goods.

Luciana gashed her teeth as the Serpentine Queen's flawless appearance entered her sight.

These were the same radiant flame-locks and bright violet eyes that had haunted her dream after her return from the banquet.

When she woke up the next warm morning, she felt an urge to look better than serpentine. And feeling she had discovered the secret behind the Werewolf King's obsession with the serpentine, Luciana had rushed out of the east gate to the public market.

She wanted to find a spell or charm that would enhance her beauty and gain the males' admiration as well.

But instead of getting the item she wanted, she encountered the female she desired to surpass! And as if that wasn't enough...the serpentine insulted and humiliated her in public...

But there was nothing she could do to retaliate because the Werewolf King stood beside her like a hawk guarding its fledgling.

Fearfully taking another step back, Luciana stared at the couple with envy and resentment.

Versailles stepped back from her mate and cleared her throat.

"Ahem! Well, forget about that. Ramose, as the Queen of the Underworld Palace, I want to make an announcement, can I?"

"Of course. As the Queen of the Underworld Palace, you can do anything you want in the Underworld Palace."

"Hmm..." Let's hope you won't regret giving me such rights later. 

Giving the wolf a cunning smirk, she turned to the beasts still huddled behind her and sighed.

Calling their plight pitiful was too crude of a word to describe their condition. Covered in blistering burns and bleeding tears, the creatures had a haunted look in their eyes as they kept their heads bowed.

As lesser races with a status lower than the Omegas of the Werewolf Clan, they held no hope of getting help, and as such, made no effort to seek one as well.

The serpentine knelt on one knee and gently grabbed the beasts' arms, supporting them to their feet.

"Are you guys okay?"

"Ah...? Ah! Yes...We're oaky. Thank you!" Flattered and flustered by her attention, the lesser beasts scuffled back in fear as if burnt by a hot iron.

They didn't want to dirty the female that saved them. They also hadn't forgotten their place.

The Werewolf King secretly nodded in approval, satisfied with their behavior.

His Serpentine Queen wasn't just anyone to be bending and touching lesser creatures...

They had to take the initiative and step back when she acted out of kindness. 

"Ramose, these beasts got here before the Gold Blood did. They also selected the beauty-enhancing charm before she did. But the Gold Blood snatched it away from them. I know lesser races don't have any right or power in the higher ranking clans. But these beasts were only carrying out their duty as slaves by buying the item their mistress requested." Turning to the Gold Blood, Versailles gave the beast once over and scoffed.

"But because they encountered a vicious female, they failed to accomplish the task assigned to them. Not only that, but they also suffered unjust beatings and curses. Ramose, I want this Gold Blood to apologize and return what she snatched. I also want to declare that from now on, the buying and selling of trade items, should be first come first serve and not higher status has first say."

So what if the female was Olsen's mate? Versailles not slapping her was already giving the Beta face. As for the rest, she wasn't going to let her leave without properly apologizing. 

"What!? What did the Serpentine say?"

"She wants the Gold Beast to apologize to lesser race beasts!"

"Shhhh! Speak too loud and the Werewolf King will be onto us!"

Ramose deeply looked at his mate before a dotting smile spread across his lips. If the words had come from any other beast's mouth, he would've kicked them for putting on such an act.

But since the words came from her mouth, Ramose didn't need to hear anything else. Whatever she said was right and just.

As for everyone else? Before his mate's words, they were nothing but mutes!

"What!? Apologize!?" The Gold Blood felt disbelief at the Serpentine Queen's proposal.

Her...

Her...apologize to lowly beasts?

She stepped and trampled on such creatures on daily basis.

Since when had she ever apologized for committing such atrocities on them and fulfilling a regular practice?
