The Cursed Prince's Strange Bride

Everyone at the table directed their attention to the door when it opened and Alicia walked in. If she had thought the dress she had worn during her wedding ceremony with Harold was suffocating, this was even worse. She had thought the royal dinner was going to be a small dinner, but she was wrong. There were at least thirty people inside the hall. But what caught her attention was the dishes on the table. About 90 percent of the dish was made up of meat.

Harold watched as Alicia's eyes lit up the moment it fell on the table. He couldn't believe that the first thing that captured her attention when she walked inside the hall was the food on the table. He shook his head in mild disappointment, and his gaze met Tyra's amused gaze.

"Ahem!" The queen cleared her throat to get Alicia's attention, and she snapped her head up to look at the direction it had come from.

Alicia was slightly taken aback by the beauty and elegance of the woman who was staring directly at her. The woman looked like she was in her mid or late twenties. She had some similarities with Princess Tyra and guessed that she was Tyra's older sister. But she hadn't heard them mention another sister, and why hadn't she been at their wedding? So who was she?

Alicia observed the table's structure. If the woman was sitting in that position, it meant she had some kind of power. She looked at the other end of the table and found a set of blue eyes staring directly at her and involuntarily took a step back. She would have thought he was the king if he didn't look that young. He looked like he was in his thirties, and it was impossible for him to be Harold's father. So he was probably the first son?

He was very good looking and had a lot of similar features to Harold. But what made him stand out wasn't just his kingly robes, but the kind of aura around him that made him seem superior and unapproachable. It was the same way she felt when she first saw Harold. But the difference between Harold and this man was... this guy was her type. Deciding that a wink might be too much for a first encounter, she flashed him a smile instead.

Her eyes then fell on Harold, who was glaring at her, and she suddenly realized she had been staring too much when she was supposed to introduce herself. But one thing she had noticed in this kingdom was the fact that they were all blessed with good looks. Now, she wondered what the king and queen looked like.

"Uhm, hello!" She said with a weak smile, raising a hand to wave at everyone on the table before remembering that they were royalty, so she dropped her hand quickly and curtsied instead.

Harold bowed his head as though he was feeling embarrassed by his bride's action, but Tyra, who had seen the barely noticeable twitch of his lips, could tell that he was amused.

"Hello?" The Queen asked, turning to look at Harold, whose head was bowed before looking at Alicia once again.

"I mean, how do you do your... Majesty? Or majesties?" Alicia asked with a polite smile as she approached the table. Seeing as there was just one empty seat left on the table beside Harold, she could tell that it was her seat, so she made her way towards it.

Prince Ivan tried not to chuckle as he exchanged a glance with his wife, and they both turned to look at Harold, who was now looking at his bride with an expression akin to disdain.

Apart from Tyra, the royals on the table concluded that Alicia was unfit to be royalty, and if anything, it made both the Queen and Ivan even more happy that she was Harold's bride. With a bride like that, no one would push for him to become the king. Alpha or not. There were already too many odds against him. Not only was he born of a filthy Omega slave, he was the second son who had killed his brother, was cursed by the moon goddess, and had also married a human girl. An obviously stupid human girl.

Alicia didn't mind being the centre of attention since she was an actress. But all these eyes and the atmosphere were very uncomfortable for her. Something about this place felt strange. But she wasn't ready to know what it was. She wanted to eat a lot and have enough strength for when she would run away tonight.

"I had no idea Princess Tyra had an older sister," Alicia commented to the Queen after she sat down. Now, she regretted not taking some time to ask about the structure of the palace instead of planning an escape that didn't happen.

"Older sister?" The queen asked, looking a little confused.

"Uh... aren't you princess Tyra's older sister? That would make you Prince Harold's older sister too, I guess?" Alicia said before looking at Harold, who had one hand on his temple.

Everybody watched in confusion, wondering why she assumed that. Plus, they were also surprised at her attitude. Humans were usually meek and humble, especially when they were in front of them. Plus, all humans feared themrumoursse of all the rumors about the moon kingdom, most of which were true. But this girl didn't look anything meek or humble. She didn't seem affected by the Alpha King's presence either.

Tyra, who was sitting across from her, cleared her throat a little, getting Alicia's attention.

'That's my mother.' Tyra mouthed to her.

,m "I should not bother?" Alicia asked in a whisper, trying to get what she was saying.

'My mother.'

"Other? Like your other sister?" Alicia asked in confusion.

"Does she think she is whispering right now?" One of the Queen's nephews asked his younger sister, who was seated beside him.

"I think she is weird," His younger sister whispered back.

"She is my mother." Harold said to Alicia, saving Tyra the stress of whispering to the idiot.

"Your mother? Who is your moth—"

Alicia's eyes widened, and she turned to look at the queen.

"YOU ARE THEIR MOTHER?!"

Alicia asked in shock. How did that make any sense? She looked very young!

Queen Arya seemed affected by the compliment. All women liked to be complimented, werewolves or not. The people from Moon Kingdom were tactful and always mind what they said. Therefore, no one would dare openly compliment the royals like this, especially the Queen mother, when they all knew how stupidly possessive the King would get.

Queen Arya sent her a smile, causing Alicia to gasp, "Oh my goodness! You looked so young and pretty, I assumed you were their sister. I am so—" She stopped talking and faced the King.

"Does that mean... you are... the... KING?" She asked with wide unbelieving eyes.
