Chapter 27: His Mother’s Prince
[TAMIKO]
"He's Lord Sadako, but he likes to pretend he isn't. And we're lycan warriors," one of them said and Tamiko choked on his food as he looked at the man who was Lord Sadako.
Lord Sadako was almost a myth just like the lycan king, Zaffuto. He was the enforcer of the lycan kingdom and the king's confidant. Tamiko had read a lot about the dangerous yet ever-happy enforcer.
He was a force to be reckoned with and seeing him this close made Tamiko wonder if the man knew he wasn't from there.
His run across the woods had surely masked Tamiko's scent, but had it been enough to hide from the nose of a lycan enforcer and the second most powerful person in Kawai?
Tamiko stared at Lord Sadako, like he was trying to come to terms with the reality that he was sharing the same space as a legend. It all felt like an illusion and Tamiko could tell that something was not right here.
Tamiko had learned that all the lycans knew of Lord Sadako, so asking the man what his name was, was something else. What the hell was he supposed to do now and how was he to get himself out of this?
"What?" Tamiko managed out, all his appetite leaving him, even though he hadn't eaten for several days.
He was considering making a run for it, and just act as if Grealor was one happy home, but he had a feeling that these warriors would scratch him even before he reached the door. He was once again fucked, so he sighed, as he looked at the food before him once again.
