Chapter 224: Good or Bad Luck
Alexa shrugged as she watched the chaos inside the throne hall.
In truth, this was actually not an official meeting requested by the King. These officials simply gathered here to ask for the King’s presence. Unfortunately for them, Nikolai didn’t arrive with Gregory saying that he was busy making a baby. Despite that, the officials pushed back by simply pushing Gregory to inform the king that they would wait in the throne room for their important discussion.
Every official was voicing out their opinions, and the hot topics at hand were the facts that their Queen was a Nephilim as well as Dahlia’s return.
"Is he planning to take her as a mistress?" Sage Wagner questioned beside her. "She was his first love, after all."
Alexa inwardly sighed. From what she recalled, the Wagner Clan was the same as the Rossi Clan in that they strongly opposed Nikolai’s rule. While the former wasn’t as vulgar as the latter, she knew that Sage already had something cooking up her sleeve for years.
It was unavoidable. The power struggles within the kingdom were real after all, and some powerful Clans in their kingdom wanted the throne for themselves. However, it was only unfortunate for them that their clan, the Ichor, held enough power to ensure stability for the throne. Her brother Arturo was a good ruler. While he wasn’t perfect since he loved women far too much, he was still good at his job. It was only a good thing that Nikolai didn’t inherit that bad trait from his father.
"I know Nikolai. He will only have one woman in his life, and that’s our Queen alone," Alexa proudly answered. "He’s a one-woman man, Sage."
"But Dahlia is the love of his life," Sage scoffed. "Everyone knew what happened to him when Dahlia died. He was so devastated that he wanted to die with her..."
"Of all, you should’ve known better, Sage. It’s not about who’s the first love, but who currently holds Nikolai’s heart right now," Alexa pointed out with an obvious eye-roll at Sage’s face. "Obviously, our Queen has fully conquered our King’s heart. Didn’t you hear what Gregory just said? He’s already busy attending to the Queen and making children despite knowing Dahlia is around!"
