Queen Kenna witnessed the wedding ceremony of King Raven and his concubine, Celine, firsthand. Queen Kenna tried to hold back her emotions because King Raven had not invited her to such a grand and important event.

“Unbelievable! King Raven didn’t invite me?”

“King Raven said that you would be shocked if you knew he was going to marry a concubine, especially since you’ve just given birth—it would be too risky. That’s why I didn’t tell you, Queen Kenna. Forgive me.” said Assistant Alvin. Queen Kenna clenched her fists tighter.

“Alright, then… arrange a meeting with King Raven immediately. I will speak with him alone tonight!”

“Alright, Queen Kenna.”

Shortly after that, King Raven truly arrived in Kenna’s room, where she was holding her baby.

“Why did you want to meet me? Are you angry because I didn’t invite you to the important event this morning?” asked King Raven. Meanwhile, Kenna gave a dismissive smile.

“Why would I be angry over something unimportant? I invited you here because I was hoping you could name this child, King Raven. After all, this child is also your heir’s blood,” King Raven slammed the table in front of him.

CRASH!!

“You’re wasting my time! I will never acknowledge a child who doesn’t have golden hair!”

“You can refuse to acknowledge him, but at least give him a name.”

“Aria Borja, that’s the baby’s name now. I don’t want to give the child my family name; it’s better if he uses your last name instead, do you understand, Queen Kenna?”

BRAK!

King Raven slammed the door shut with such force it made a loud noise, causing Kenna to flinch, especially since the baby in her arms also started crying.

“Alright, Aria Borja. That’s your name now, dear. Even though your father doesn’t love you, your mother will always love you, no matter what.” Kenna said, trying not to cry.

“Have you confirmed that the child of King Raven’s concubine is the baby with golden hair, Kenna?” Zyra asked as she entered Kenna’s room.

“Not yet, but I don't think it's necessary anymore. From now on, the only thing I care about is Aria,”

“Wow, your child has been named by King Raven? Princess Aria, that's such a beautiful name, just like this baby's face,” Zyra said, touching the baby's cheek, who smiled happily at Zyra.

“But... I feel suspicious, Kenna. When did King Raven become involved with Concubine Celine? And Concubine Celine suddenly became pregnant and gave birth? The timing of her delivery was also close to yours, just a few weeks or months apart. Strange, isn't it?” Zyra began to suspect something.

“That is indeed suspicious, but keep quiet for now. The first thing I want to resolve is uncovering how King Raven killed my parents,”

“But that might not be true, Kenna,”

“I will investigate it, Zyra.”

Meanwhile, in Celine's room, King Raven joyfully celebrated the birth of the baby boy with golden hair.

“I'm so happy that it was you, not Kenna, who gave birth to the baby I wanted. Our meeting in the forest wasn't in vain. I've decided that this baby will be the heir to my throne,” said King Raven. Queen Celine smiled happily upon hearing this. She, who had been found in the forest, now wanted more attention from King Raven.

“I also never expected to become your wife, King Raven. I don’t regret our first meeting in the Blackwood Forest back then. Then, what name will our first child be given, Your Majesty?” King Raven stroked the baby boy’s hair.

“What about the name Axton Goldwyn?” King Raven glanced at Concubine Cekine’s eyes.

“We will call him ‘Ax’ and ‘Goldwyn’ because of his golden hair,” continued Rana Raven.

“That’s a good name, Your Majesty! I’m very happy to hear it. But…”

“But why, Celine?”

“I want to be your first wife. I mean… since I managed to give birth to the child you desired, don’t you intend to make me Queen?” The question made King Raven think.

“I will consider it.” King Raven said, then left immediately after his second wife’s request.

“You must make me the first, King Raven, you must!”

In Queen Kenna’s chamber, the girl was investigating the deaths of her parents by secretly meeting two men outside the palace while disguised.

“How about it? Have you found any other evidence?”

“I don’t think King Raven is the culprit. There’s something odd about how your parents were attacked,”

“Where exactly?”

“The Blackwood Forest, we have to go there now!”

They went there and found something suspicious—the ground was indeed burned near a dense tree covered in dried leaves.

“Here, I found the object you were holding here when Mr. Vino was still holding it.” Queen Kenna examined it by taking a small sample of the charred soil.

“I'm sure they used a very powerful wolf's strength. Did my parents burn here? Where are their bodies, Kevin?”

“At that time… I only found their bodies intact. I don't know who took them. I'll use my power to remember.” Kevin still couldn't recall.

“This area is protected by something beyond my power. I think tonight is the right time to uncover everything, Queen Kenna.”

“Alright, we'll come back here tonight.”

They returned to King Raven's Palace, and it turned out someone had noticed them.

“Who is with Queen Kenna?”

“I think I know what I need to do to drive Queen Kenna out of this palace, hahaha.” A sly smile appeared on the woman’s face.

On that cold night, Queen Kenna left the palace with the stranger to confirm something in the middle of the Blackwood Forest.

Along the way, they were startled by a warm glow that turned out not to be from one person, but many.

“Look over there!”

“Queen Kenna? Are you here? With another man?” It turned out to be King Raven's army.

“No, King Raven, I...”

“It's not just once or twice, King Raven. I often see Queen Kenna leaving the palace with another man. Maybe there is something between them, oops!” Celine covered her mouth, deliberately so that King Raven would trust her more.

“Everyone, bring them to the palace, quickly!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“No! We just want to investigate something, King Raven! You have to trust me!”.

Upon arriving at the palace, there were only King Raven, Queen Kenna, Concubine Celine, and several important palace officials, including the maidservant tasked with watching over Queen Kenna and Concubine Celine’s children.

“You’ve truly disappointed me, Queen Kenna! You asked me to marry you and ensure you could give birth to a golden-haired wolf cub, but it turns out you can’t. You liar! Second, you dared to cheat on me with this man outside the palace?”

“No, we were just trying to find out about the death of my parents, King Raven.”

“Excuses! I’m no longer sure if Aria is my child. She must be this man’s child, right?”

“No, Your Majesty King Raven. There’s no way Queen Kenna and I would go that far.” Kevin protested while bowing his head.

“Of course, the child of King Raven must have golden hair because the blood of King Raven flows through them,” Celine replied arrogantly.

“Shut up! You know nothing! All of that is slander, King Raven!” Kenna replied emotionally every time she saw Celine influencing King Raven negatively.

“I can no longer trust you, Queen Kenna. As punishment, you are forbidden from seeing Aria for five years!”

Kenna was shaken; the sun that had just risen seemed obscured by dark clouds.

She looked at her baby, Aria, who had just been born and was still being held by Zyra.

Suddenly, King Raven took Aria from Zyra and handed her to Concubine Celine.

“Let Concubine Celine care for her,” King Raven said in a cold voice.

Kenna felt as though her heart had been torn out.

“Imprison Queen Kenna in her palace! And imprison this man!” King Raven ordered.

“No! It’s all a lie! Kevin, you must tell the truth!” Kenna exclaimed angrily, as Kevin had remained silent all along.

‘Damn it! Why was she separated from her child? I thought Kenna would be deposed from her position as Queen!’ Celine the Concubine thought to herself.

“Ensure Aria grows up healthy and strong, Consort Celine. The future of the kingdom may depend on her.” King Raven said, fully entrusting Aria to Celine.

Consort Celine smiled and nodded, but her eyes hid other plans.
