The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408: The Queen’s Smiling Lesson (II)

"Look what you’ve done!" Solene exclaimed as she rushed toward Primrose to make sure the queen was alright. "Your Majesty, are you alright? Should we go?"

Primrose turned her head and winked at Solene, silently telling her that she was only pretending and there was no need to worry.

Solene blinked a few times, completely speechless. She couldn’t believe the queen was putting on an act just to make everyone behave again.

If she had known Primrose could pull something like this from the start, she would never have compared her to a harmless bunny. Then again, she had seen how Primrose outsmarted Dr. Silas before... so why was she still surprised?

How could she keep thinking the queen was innocent and pure? She really was too optimistic for her own good.

Meanwhile, Callen looked completely panicked after hearing Primrose’s complaint. "Y-Your Majesty! We didn’t mean to shout like that!" he stammered.

"You’re shouting again!" another soldier yelled, smacking the back of Callen’s head, only to get smacked himself by someone else for shouting as well.

Primrose sighed softly, lowering her gaze. "Please, don’t fight anymore," she said in a weak, pitiful tone, her eyes glistening as if she might cry. "I gathered you all here to teach you how to get along with humans... but if this keeps happening..."

Her words trailed off as she looked away, her expression so sorrowful that even the rowdiest soldiers fell silent, guilt spreading across their faces.

Callen lowered his head. "We’re sorry, Your Majesty," he muttered softly.

One by one, the others followed. "We’re sorry," they echoed, their voices filled with shame.

Primrose stayed silent for a few seconds, letting the guilt sink in before finally sighing again. Then, she slowly looked up, her lips curling into a sweet smile that made everyone in front of her freeze in surprise.

"Alright," she said gently. "I forgive you."

A collective breath of relief filled the room. Some of the soldiers even straightened their backs, looking like scolded puppies who had just been told they were good boys after all.

Primrose clasped her hands together and said in a brighter tone, "Now, let’s start over. No more shouting, no more arguing. Just smiles, alright?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" they shouted in unison, only to realize that they had just shouted again at the queen. "Ah—sorry!" they quickly said again, this time in hushed voices.

Primrose couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore. She giggled softly before saying, "Alright, let’s try again. This time, don’t think too much. Just imagine something that makes you happy, maybe food, your friends, or the sound of morning bells. Then... smile."

She realized that the reason Edmund’s smile had become so natural day by day was because he always thought of her.

He didn’t even need to force it, just the thought of her was enough to make his lips curve softly, the kind of smile that could melt away every bit of exhaustion from his face.

That was why she thought that maybe if the beasts also focused on something that made them happy, they could learn to smile more naturally.

Unfortunately, theory was always easier than practice. Even though Primrose knew the right way to guide them, it still took a lot of effort and patience.
