Chapter 300: This Is Where We Come Alive
*Cheers to 300 Chapters!!
[TAMIKO]
The evening stroll with the king had done a lot of good to Tamiko. He looked very happy when he walked back into the palace, smiling at his subjects like he had grown a new head.
His happiness was somewhat contagious because even the two Lycan lords were smiling at him. He loved how the day had gone by and eventually, with the sundown and dinner fast approaching, he wanted to be with his Erasthai.
"Where’s Kosta?" Tamiko asked as he looked at his uncle and Danny who were staring at him like they had just figured out the very first thing about the prince of doom. They were happy for him; and glad that his relationship with his father had changed.
It was always a beautiful sight because breakfast was never as tense as it had been before. Honestly, it felt like they were all a part of a big happy family determined to do whatever it took to make ends meet. And it was admirable from every point of view.
"He went out with the barbarians a while ago... he should be back before dinner," Lord Sadako said and Tamiko just nodded. He knew better than to be worried about Igor when the barbarian could handle himself.
He had proven it time and again, but he couldn’t help but worry to an extent. He didn’t want his Erasthai out there fighting on his own, but at the same time, he didn’t want to make Kosta feel like he never truly had a choice in their relationship.
Freedom was key for omegas and as hard as it was for Tamiko to lean into it after ever that had happened, he had to try for the sake of his Erasthai. He had to trust Kosta because without trust, then all of this was useless and even he knew it.
Perhaps it was also why Tamiko just smiled at his uncle and best friend and walked away chirpily toward his chambers.
"What did you feed him?" Sadako asked King Zaffuto who was still watching his son rush up the stairs like this was the best day of his life. He could still feel the weight of this son’s thoughts, but he had to be patient.
