Cursed Daughter Looking for a Mate
Chapter 61 Seeking Rest

Ian clenched his hands tightly. Just now Leroy cared about Julliane, more precisely the King cared when his daughter was not cursed. Selfish parents like Leroy don't deserve to be called parents. Ian didn't want Julliane to live with such parents.

Ian was about to advance against Leroy, but was blocked by Julliane's hand. Julliane nodded her head giving her a sign of handing the matter over to him. Appreciating his lover's decision, Ian retreated. 

Julliane smiled without the slightest anger at Leroy. "I know Father and Mother love me, the proof is that I am still fed or needed when locked up. Maybe the way to express the affection of Father and Mother is different from other parents, such as buying luxury items, expensive dresses and good food. For all of you it's enough, but you're forgetting something that's caring."

"We care about you too, Julliane. We'll love you more than ever, so don't leave us." Ophelia's tears were flowing.

Julliane shook her head slowly. "I, Elle, and Ed were placed on the second priority after the Kingdom, it was not wrong but I preferred the person who put me on his first priority. I'm sorry, thank you for all this time, Dad, Mom."

Dismissed Leroy's hopes. He intends to open a new page by loving his children more but it is too late. His hand was embracing Ophelia who was as shattered as him. 

"I will visit Yuvinere Kingdom once in a while. I'm not leaving forever." Julliane hugged her parents to calm them down.

He looked at Ellaine and Edgar in tears. He quickly embraced both.

"I will miss you my brothers."

"Take care of yourself, Sister Juli" Ellaine said, burying her face into her brother's shoulder.

Edgar returned Julliane's embrace. "I'll miss Juli too."

"You can stop by the Kingdom of Constain if you want, is that okay, Ian?" Julliane turned her face towards Ian.

"What's not for my Crown Princess" Ian replied with a smile.

Edgar took off Julliane's embrace and went to Ian with a chest. "Never hurt Juli again, otherwise you will deal with me."

Ian brushed it off staring at Edgar. "What are you so strong as to dare to challenge me like this?"

The two looked fierce, but Julliane soon broke before further commotion. Julliane said goodbye to everyone there.

"I'll go first."

These lovers set foot together for their future. Leroy stared at the back of his now-adult daughter and dared to live life without her intervention. He will support all his children, starting from the small things first.

"What's your ascension to the Kingdom of Constain?" ask Leroy.

Julliane and Ian turned around. 

Ian opened his mouth. "We're on a horse, I'll make sure your daughter rests on the way, Your Majesty."

Leroy approached the two of them touching both of their shoulders. "No need, I will prepare a horse carriage for you. Julliane take your stuff there."

Ian turned towards the smiling Julliane towards him. Their relationship was accepted by the King and Queen Yuvinere. Now just looking for the blessing of both Ian's parents.

***

A week passed in the Kingdom of Constain. The arrival of Julliane and Ian was greeted kindly by the King and Raty. However, it was only a mere formality. The judging gazes from both of Ian's parents could be felt by Julliane.

In her room, Julliane pressed her head with both hands. The curse had been broken but a new problem had befallen him. He did not expect Mother Ian's attitude to be very hostile to him. Although the Queen accepted Julliane as the Crown Princess but not as a future daughter-in-law. 

"The right way!"

"If you eat, you must be upright!"

"Greet me every time you meet!"

Every reprimand the Queen received with a chest of air, although in fact the mother Ian one was just looking for fault Julliane.

So this is how people who live with in-laws feel.

Julliane's gaze was distracted by the sound of a door slam. Ian entered full of joy like a child. He sat next to Julliane and kept smiling at her. His hand pointed to his scar.

A long sigh escaped from Julliane's mouth. "This morning you've asked me to decorate you, now again? Can't you cover it yourself, Ian?"

"My hand was injured from practicing the sword yesterday. If I do it myself the results are not satisfactory. I need your help, Olivia," Ian asked with teary eyes.

It was all a lie. Julliane knew Ian was just pretending. But, there was no harm in spending time with Ian.

"Alright, close your eyes." 

Ian closed his eyes. Julliane grabs the undercover and rubs it on Ian's scar.

"What do you think, Olivia?" asked Ian on the sidelines of himself still.

"Your mother hasn't accepted me yet." Julliane flattened the masquerader.

"Don't worry, I'll take you sooner or later."

The powder was spread on Ian's face. The makeup is done. Ian opened his eyes slowly.

His face was only a few centimetres away from Julliane's. Julliane's heart was pounding, although almost every day with Ian, she was still not used to it. 

Ian's lips were getting closer to Julliane's. Julliane closed her eyes, wrapping her arms around Ian's neck. They can feel both their breaths and...

"You are not married! Can't kiss!" exclaims Ian's Mother.

Ian and Julliane stay away. Ian grumbled at his mother. "Mom don't bother me with Julliane anymore."

"Mom doesn't want you to be tempted by this cunning girl."

"When Mom supported me when she brought Julliane here."

"That's because her life is threatened, mother still has not approved of your relationship" the Queen replied as she passed.

Ian and Julliane looked at each other with heavy sighs. Getting the blessing of parents who have been disappointed is not easy.
