Alexander met Damien and Ciara kissing when he entered his room. They pulled away from each other as soon as he entered. "Why are you both in my room kissing by this time of the morning? Aren't you supposed to be at the palace getting ready for the ceremony?" Ciara stood to her feet and walked to the window. Daniel was the one to reply. "Well, we wanted to check up on you. See if you can move around and you're finally okay." Alex spread his arms . "As you can see, I am perfectly okay. I can even walk and talk, thanks for asking." Daniel chuckled. "Where are you coming from though?" "Oh, I took a walk to the cliff. Ciara, I couldn't find traces of blood back at the cliff." Ciara turned from the window. "Does it show that the sacrifice worked?" Alex nodded. He took a seat and poured himself a glass of water, gulping the whole thing down. "I saw that the palace was quite filled with activities." Ciara nodded. "No one is acting like a Wyvern visite

"Don't you think Athena was quite harsh with her judgment this morning?" Daniel asked as he watched his wife change from dress to dress. "No, I don't think so," Ciara said and removed the third dress she had tried on. She had come with a full trunk and was still searching for the best. Daniel was already tired because she kept finding fault even after he told her that the dress was nice. Every dress she had put on was equally beautiful and he had no idea why she was making it a big deal. "I think she put the woman in her rightful place. A lot of women have chosen to take her for granted because she's a crown king. Bitter people." Daniel sighed. "You're right though. No offense but I feel she should have handled it better." Ciara flung the fourth dress on a Chippendale chair before bending over to pick another one. "How so?" "Well, she should have just warned the woman or something. It's that simple." Ciara gave him a stern look. "If you keep giving people the a

Alexander was waiting for the right time to strike. He had been sitting out here for a while, watching people talk about the upcoming ceremony but that wasn't his business. His aim here was to monitor a bunch of men who stood around like they were tourists. These were spies and he was sure of it. They probably came with Zeus. Just as he had that train of thought, Zeus stepped out of the inn and walked to one of the men after looking around. Alexander immediately concealed himself from being seen as he pretended to be reading a newspaper. He could hear their conversation loud and clear and it went thus: "How are things coming?" "We already sent a few of our men to act as guards. They snuck their way in and have successfully entered." "Good. Now, I want you to find one of our guards amongst them. Give this to them. Instructions have been written inside the package. Tell them to make sure it is followed or there will be consequences." "Yes, sir." The guard s

As soon as Alex took his last sip from his cup, he dumped it on the table and slapped the newspaper on the wooden table before leaving his seat. One of the spinsters who had been eating and watching him immediately waved as he walked past her but that's none of his business. He gave her a quick, distracted nod as he entered the inn. "He's so rude." The lady said with a look of disgust as she talked to her friend. Alex slowed down once he saw that Zeus had stopped in front of the counter and was talking to the receptionist. Acting like he was just looking around, he focused his attention on a painting of the moon on his other end and once he saw that Zeus already left the counter, he began his movement again. Climbing up the stairs, he noticed that the inn was quiet. A lot of people had gone into their rooms and were preparing and one of the ladies around had nearly bumped into him as she rushed out of her room with a dress. "I'm sorry!" She exclaimed, eyes bright

"We've finally brought them all out. They've been locked up in the dungeon." To that, Athena sighed in relief. She was in her study. Infact, she had been there all day and had been pensive. Now that Damien had reported a successful extraction, she was relieved. At least, she could enjoy the evening of her coronation without having to worry. But still, she was going to make sure that security was tight. "How about the kitchen?" Athena asked. "We also found him, too." Damien replied and produced a bottle. "He had already taken the bottle out of the parcel when Ciara caught him." "I need to know what's in there. Is he still alive?" "Ciara killed him immediately." "Why?" Damien shrugged. "I have no idea. I could summon her if you want. I'm guessing she had her reasons for killing him." "But I asked that everyone be kept alive for torturing and questioning?" "Yes, you did. I'll call her." Just then, Ciara knocked on the door and poked her h

"Daniel! Quick before our tables get filled up!" Ciara called from outside the door of their room as she waited for her husband to be done. It was a surprise that she had finished getting prepared before her husband but that was because she had asked him to leave the room while a few of the maids worked on her. About an hour and thirty minutes later, she was done and she asked one of the maids to summon her husband in. As soon as he stepped in, his eyes nearly popped out of its sockets. The maids had outdone themselves and transformed his wife into a very beautiful woman. She had always been beautiful but today, she was looking extra. Speaking had been hard for him as he had stumbled over his words, causing the maids to giggle and when Ciara did her twirl for him. "Alright, honey. I'm almost done. I just have to put these on," He said with a strained voice and in no time, he was joining her. He was wearing a pinstripe tuxedo and a white shirt beneath. There was

Alexander was just finishing up his wine when he heard the distinctive voice of Evan, one of his very old friends. Evan was dressed in a cravat. This didn't come as a surprise to him. Evan was someone who didn't live according to societal norms. He hadn't changed much. His hair was still red and touching his shoulders but his beard had overgrown and he had left it that way. It made him look older than he actually was. "Man, it's been a damn long time since we last saw," Evan said and they shook hands. "You look older than before." Alexander rolled his eyes. "The last time you saw me was four years ago. How do you expect me to be the same?" Evan chuckled and clapped his arm. "I get it, man. But damn, every female in here has their eyes on you." As soon as he said this, Alex turned to look around him and indeed, every female within one-eighty degrees around him had their eyes on him or were sneaking looks at him. He wasn't fazed by it. Unconcerned even

"You heard me right, Alexander," Ciara said as she craned her neck to see the people who were ushered to the high table. Alex shook his head and stepped back. "I am not down for this. I told you guys that I don't want to be seen. " Ciara gave Alex a look. "You are running away from Athena?" Alex shrugged. "Not per se. I just don't want to be seen by her." "Why?" Daniel asked. Alex shrugged. "I have no idea. Maybe because I don't want to?" Ciara sighed and retracted her arm from her husband's. She took a few steps towards Alex who stood a few meters away from them. "Look, I understand that she hurt you by rejecting you. I would go crazy. But you're fine, Alex. If she doesn't want you, it's fine! See, she needs to see that you're thriving without her. Have fun tonight." "It's hard." Alex said looking genuinely distressed. "I've never seen Alex this way. It's shocking." Daniel said and chuckled. Alex was listening to all that Ciara was saying
