Chapter 152: No Compromises, Not This Time
[KAWAI]
The return of Tamiko to the Lycan lands did not go unnoticed as the morning was filled with whispers and murmurs of who Tamiko could really be to the king, for his majesty to go to all those lengths just to make sure Tamiko was okay or perhaps held a smile on his face.
It had gone past the Lycans that Tamiko was the outcast of Grealor, not to mention the fact that by the Kawai laws, Tamiko was a rogue and needed to face the consequences of being one upon his return home.
But that didn’t seem to be the case.
For a king who had women to punish deserters, he had grown awfully close to the boy who had nothing other than a history of slavery in the Grealor pack. And somehow, even with all the whispers, none of them was courageous enough to let the king know to his face.
"The people are talking, Zaffuto," Lord Sadako said at the breakfast table in the palace. They were currently in the king’s dining room, the one place that was reserved for the king and his family.
Hell, not even acquaintances of the king ever got to use that room and for the near-thirty years that the king had been out of touch with everyone, none of them had tried to look at it.
They knew more than anyone what it meant to go against the king and whether he was back as a nice joke or just the mad king, they didn’t want to risk their lives for nothing.
"Let them," King Zaffuto said as he looked at his son. It was no secret that the only thing the whispers would be about was the return of a rogue Lycan and a beta wolf from Grealor.
