Chapter 83: Oh The Coffee Prince
[KAWAI]
The feast that the King had thrown for his people had gone by without any hitches, despite the lighting strikes earlier. It was almost like the universe had suddenly decided to be peaceful at a time when there wasn’t anything pleasing.
Tamiko had noticed how tense the king and Lord Sadako were, and he could only hope that they didn’t get on each other’s throats, because truth be told, the Lycans would be the ones to pay the highest price of all.
"Tamiko—" the Lycan King called once everyone had dispersed.
Time had gone by so fast but to the King, it had dragged on. He had spent the entire feat looking at his brother and at the same time, stealing glances at the kid he had just been informed was his.
King Zaffuto had so many questions, but those answers were not as important as the kid before him. He would find the answers alright, but right now, with the kid and on their way back to the palace, he couldn’t help but want the kid’s attention.
’Oh, my Liana, our child lives,’ the King said as he looked at Tamiko. He and his Liana’s son. His Kaito. He loved the idea, perhaps that was also why he was desperate to make sure that this wasn’t just the reality that he was being thrust into by his depression.
Granted, King Zaffuto was certain that Sadako would never lie to him, but staring at the kid, who was walking beside him, the King couldn’t help but wonder what the hell had happened to him.
"Don’t tell me you didn’t like the food at the feast," Tamiko teased, even though he had also seen the change in atmosphere earlier.
There was something about the King that had changed. His aura had grown darker and at the same time, there was a beautiful brightness to it, one that hadn’t been there originally.
Maybe Tamiko was hallucinating, but he had done his homework on the King and right now, he could swear on his life that there wasn’t a page in the old books that mentioned the contracting bright aura that the Lycan King was having at the moment.
