Elsa received a sudden knock on her door, then stood up to unlock the door. Once she opened the door, a maid lowered her head carrying some fine clothes."What is it?" Elsa requested, still standing at the entrance of her door."The Alpha has requested you step out to have a royal meal with us, your father is also on his way, princess." Elsa smiled, then nodded her head in return. She wanted at first to slam the door against the poor lady's face, but then, she didn't."Alright." She said, and the young lady walked in. "I'll go prepare a bath for you princess."Elsa just sat on her bed and said nothing, and the young maid assumed her silence was absolutely a yes.She walked into the bathroom carrying along some newly bought liquid fresh soaps.Once the bathtub was ready, Elsa walked into the bathroom, and got into the tub after pulling off her clothes. The young maid waited till she brought her left leg out, and then began scrubbing slowly with a soft sponge."Where is the slave pri
Red was standing at the entrance of the door when Ryder approached him."Open the door, I need to speak with the Alpha." He instructed, but Red's legs remained rotted on that spot he stood.Ryder raised his sword, still holding the slave trainer. "Are you deaf?" He yelled.At the Royal table, Lucien could hear the loud voice of Ryder, while Elsa smiled when she also heard it, and began munching faster on her food.Soon, Ryder forced his way in, dragging along the slave trainer. "What the hell is this?" Lucien thundered, staring coldly at Ryder whose head was still lowered."I caught the culprit Alpha, and I also found this." He said, stretching his hands to give him something in a white cloth.Lucien collected it from him, and the strong smell of the poisonous liquid substance he had seen in the arrow filled the air.In anger, his eyes went to that of the slave trainers eyes. "I swear, I have nothing to do with this Alpha, I swear on my life." He begged.Lucien was listening, it was
He kept a dry face when she rushed towards him with an angry face."How could you be easily so deceived?" Lilith questioned, but instead, he pulled her into his right embrace, inhaling her scents and resting his chin on her shoulders.She sighed, hugging him back and rubbing his back slowly and gently at the same time."I don't need you to scold me right now, just hug me alone." He said, more like with a devastated voice."What happened?" Came Lilith's question without pulling out from the hug she knew that he needed."I hate refraining myself, but I'm beginning to do things because of you.""What do you mean? Did someone get you angry?" She asked, and finally pulled out from the hug to stare at his face."No, I won't lose you to anyone, nor will I let anyone hurt you."She smiled and leaned to give him a little peck on his cheek. "My king, the slave trainer is innocent, I think you were fooled by Ryder." Lilith said.Lucien furrowed his forehead when she said such, "What do you mean?
Earlier…The moment Lucien walked away from Lilith, he retired back to his throne room and sat on it to think for a bit.Sooner than he'd expected, Dargak marched in when Red had opened up the door for him.The moment Red opened the door and Dargak walked in, he smiled to himself before shutting the door."Alpha." Dargak greeted, lowering his head and his sword in respect for the king. Lucien then waved his hands in return even though his face wasn't looking at Dargak directly, but elsewhere."Alpha, I believe you heard from the slave princess, an innocent man has been killed to nothing." Dargak really refrained himself from saying more than that, because he was really angry. So angry that Lucien had trusted another person instead of him."If you had assigned that duty to me, maybe I would have gotten the real culprit instead." He bursted out.Lucien shifted his gaze to stare at Dargak, and once Dargak received his cold gaze, he immediately kept his mouth shut and stood upright, lowe
Earlier continues….."How's Dargak Bella?" Lilith asked the moment Bella walked back into her room. Only a loud sigh escaped Bella's lips when she took a seat beside Lilith."He still worries about the Alpha even after what he's going through right now.""Is he badly hurt?" Lilith asked again."Nope, just a few bruises, but he'll be fine soon. And,.we need to find a way to get him out soon, I don't want him staying there for too long." "The Alpha doesn't want to see anyone, he wants to be all alone and no matter how much I knock, he's refusing to let me in." "Bella, haven't you noticed anything weird about Red, he seems so off lately especially his eyes."Bella froze at Lilith's words."Red?" She called."No, I don't think I know what you're talking about, but I'll be sure to look out for anything suspicious."Lilith nodded her head at Bella's response, without suspecting if anything was wrong with Bella."Alright, should I try my luck once again, with the Alpha?"Bella nodded, "Yes
"Princess, princess." Bella called from afar as she ran heading towards Lilith's room while carrying a small bowl of water and a towel along with her It was still very early in the morning. Lilith stood up from the bed and stretched her body properly hearing her name loud and clear from Bella.She didn't give Bella a response, but remained silent on the bed giving a countdown when Bella would slam the door open."3" She counted last, and the door immediately opened with Bella walking in next."Princess." Bella called again.Lilith had to shook her head because Bella never seizes to really amaze her."What is it again Bella?" Lilith asked, still half asleep."Someone, someone was found dead this morning close to the palace gate."Just hearing this, Lilith forced her eyes fully open and rushed out of her bed. Her mind was still really processing what Bella had said, but she didn't bother thinking further, as she only ran behind Bella."Stand back." They both heard the angry voice of so
Chapter 66Baski soon walked into the Alpha's quarter and dropped the tray of food on the table.When Lilith saw her, she rushed towards her and hugged her. "Oh child, I heard you haven't been eating so well."Lilith didn't nod or shook her head to respond, but she only kept Baski in her embrace.""I haven't seen you in a while now." Baski patted her back so softly. "I know, child, I've been busy preparing medicines for future use." Baski replied.When Lilith pulled out of the embrace, she rushed towards where Baski had dropped the food and picked it from the tray. She took a fork, and dug into her meal hungrily."I heard about Dargak." Lilith's mood changed a little when Baski said that, but she still didn't stop eating."I'll talk to the Alpha today. He's down, and I really don't know how to bring up such right now.""You know child, Dargak's the only one capable of finding out the truth behind the guards death.""I know, he'll be out soon, believe me." Baski nodded her head, and
"Find out what happened to Loren, his body was found this morning in his position."Dargak was never told about Loren, and what had happened to him, but he shut his eyes to give a minute of silence to the dead. His hands were curled up into fist already, and his anger was evident in his forehead as he had furrowed it already.Lucien understood him, so he didn't say a word for a minute to Dargak. When it was now more than a minute, he opened up to speak."A spy might be in here as we speak, keep an eye on Lilith just in case." When Lucien turned to face the window, Dargak rose up on his feet."What about Ryder?" He asked."It's sure he's working for someone and not alone, leave him to me, I'll handle him."Dargak smiled, but he thought of not mentioning princess Elsa's name at least for now.He lowered his head again, and finally turned to walk out of the room.Once he was outside the room, and standing at the entrance, he ignored the presence of Red like before and walked away.Red c
