Chapter 136: Front-Row Seat To The Messiest Show
[TAMIKO]
The king was no longer in sight, but the stench that he had come with was still lingering in the air. It was somewhat disappointing what the king had been reduced to, but then it was reassuring to some extent, knowing that he had done all of this for the sake of his son.
He had traveled away from Kawai, without considering the dangers and the possibilities of treaties getting broken outside of Kawai. He had risked it all and clearly, if he had to do it again, the man would choose his son over everything.
And perhaps that was the first thing that gave the realm and the enemies within, a pointer, a reminder of what it felt like to have the king back or maybe a reminder that once again, the big bad cruel mad king had something to lose.
Something he loved more than the precious Kawai to him. Someone he adored more than he would ever adore his late wife. Someone whose existence he wasn’t scared of screaming out to the world, despite the ripple effect that would follow.
The mighty king had someone to lose, someone just as crazy and funnily enough, someone that he would burn his precious Kawai down for. The enemies lingering in the realm knew that.
THEY knew.
The letter in the Lycan chief’s hands was proof of it, and as the young prince of hearts found his way to his erasthai, his constant whines of his father’s stench dissipated in the air, while the Lycan chief braced himself for war.
"He really should learn some hygiene along the way, don’t you think?" Tamiko whined and his erasthai who was still staring at the letter in his hands wondered what the fuck he was supposed to tell Tamiko.
