Chapter 227: Waving Troubles Goodbye… Right?
[THE FREE LANDS]
"Have you ever traveled through a portal before, Daniel?" King Zaffuto asked as he looked at his son’s best friend.
He had seen the horrors on the kid’s face and why it had excited him just a little, he had had to remind himself that the kid wasn’t the enemy with him. He was just a boy who cared for his Tamiko and one that his son loved very dearly.
It was the one thing that made the mad king’s heart soften. Maybe he was really changing his antics as the king, but then maybe that was just what life is supposed to be like for him and Danl right?
"I don’t understand," Danny said as he looked at the king who was nonchalantly staring at him, and then at Kosta who was breathing evenly. His omega scent had been unmasked, but the king made certain that Danny would be affected.
He had seen the way the kid had strived to get his son’s happiness black and he didn’t want Tamiko to get all possessive and try to think that Daniel was the one who had taken his Erasthai for him.
Of course, there was the rational part of Tamiko that was certain that Danny wouldn’t betray him, but then it had been a hectic past five days and nothing would make sense to Tamiko for quite some time.
He was allowed a moment or two to crash out because, at the end of the day, life had to go on either way. Maybe that was why life was like this, but would it ever explain the way that shit had happened?
"My portal is unlike any other, and it might suffocate you for a few seconds through the journey. If you are unstable with that, we can walk back home. Whatever you want, young Daniel, we will do it," King Zaffuto said.
Danny looked at the man, his heart breaking for him as he looked at their surroundings.
They had fought through so much, and done things they would probably be judged for the longest time, and yet in the middle of all that, the king had managed to stay kind, even though there was blood on him.
