Maxim reluctantly ordered for the best warriors to go along with the king. He made the necessary arrangements for Eros to travel to the northern borders. "What? His highness is travelling to the north? Is that border under some threat?" Thomas asked Maxim with a worried frown. As a part of making the arrangements, Maxim needed to inform Thomas about the upcoming travel plan of his king, so that he could prepare to accompany his highness. Thomas reacted just as Maxim thought he would. "Yes, he is not willing to change his mind. I am worried. The reports we have been receiving from the borders are not at all good. None of us think that it's a good idea to let our king go. But no one can change his mind once he decided to do something. Apart from lady Iris, we haven't even found a decent archer as well. But lady Iris cannot travel with his highness. This is not good" he murmurred with a frown. Thomas is worried, but neither of them can do anything to change this. So they parted ways

A mile away from the northern borders, near a small village, a group of 6 men can be seen working in a corn field. They are wearing plain cotton clothes streaked with mud and dirt. They are covering their heads with a cotton turban. Despite their plain clothes and unappealing looks, all the men look well built and strong. A little farther away from the field, two men are watering the flower gardens. And a few men are milking the cows. One man among the dozen or so men stood apart. He is working in the corn fields along with the other five men. Even though they look like they are busy with their work, their eyes and ears are noticing everything, not missing even a small sound. Other villagers are working in and around the huge farm. No one suspected that their king is among them under the guise of a farm worker along with his warriors. He sent one of his spies to survey the situation near the northern borders. Just like he predicted, every one of his warriors has gone missing. He

Iris is now closer to the scary-looking strangers. All four of them are looking at her with blank faces. Their olive-coloured skin tone and the black streaks on their faces is making them scary and intimidating. But she cannot let them take Thomas away. She reached the northern borders four days ago. Despite searching everywhere, she didn't find Eros or his men. She didn't find anyone suspiciously roaming near the borders either. When she began to get anxious and worried for Eros, she stumbled upon Thomas who accompanied Eros on this journey.Upon inquiring about the king, she found out that Eros asked his assistant to wait for him in an Inn near the northern borders. Thomas insisted to accompany his king, but Eros refused. Unable to do anything to change his king's mind, Thomas agreed to stay in the Inn. But he began to get worried when Eros didn't return even after a couple of days. So he decided to come to the borders to see what is going on there. But upon reaching the borders, h

"He is my father" she lied smoothly.Eros bit back his laughter when he heard her. 'Thomas would be horrified to find out that he now has a daughter ' he thought with mirth. Thomas is not mated yet. He dedicated his life only to serving Eros till now. He is loyal to Eros.Morris looked at Iris with a narrowed gaze filled with distrust."What? He is a werewolf and you are a human. How can you be his daughter? Are you lying to us human?" he asked Iris sceptically.Iris already expected this question. Initially, she doubted that they might be dangerous, but the longer she is in their presence, the more unsettled she is feeling. "Why will I even lie to you? I don't know who you are and why you are kidnapping my father. We are not rich to give money to you. You look like you have a lot of money of your own. You might not need anything from peasants like us. So why do I have to lie to you about my father?" She retorted confidently.She can see that they are not convinced. Nazar took a st

Iris is waiting for Morris near the same place where she met him. Her palms are sweaty and she is tensed. Eros explained who Morris is and to which race he belongs. She doesn't know much about the people of this world. But based on what she understood, they can be dangerous. Before knowing who Morris was, she was not this scared. But now, their mere thought makes her shiver with fear. Even though Eros wanted her to agree to go out with Morris, he was not at all willing to let her go when the time came for her to come here. She doesn't want to come either. But the lives of hundreds of Were warriors are hanging in the air. So she pretended as if she is completely fine with the idea of going on a date with a Golem man. One thing that is giving her a little solace is a fact that she is not affected by the Golem gas. She doesn't know why that is, but she is grateful nonetheless. "Hey" she is so lost in her head that she didn't notice Morris until the moment he came and stood right in fro
