Chapter 52: YOU CAN STAY OR LEAVE
"Your highness..." Iris said, as she bent her body gracefully. At the very least, Iris learned the basic courtesy one needed to offer to the royal family and knew how to carry herself in front of them.
Even though this was the first time for her to put what she learned into practice.
The king looked pleased when he saw Iris, while the queen was nonchalant with her greeting. Instead, her eyes wandered to the person behind the alpha and Iris knew who she was staring at.
Aderan.
Even though Iris was still unsure what the relationship between the two of them was and whether the queen knew that she saw their intimate moment together that night in the library, it still made her feel uncomfortable.
And while Iris was deep in thought, the king and the alpha continued to talk about something before King Aeon grabbed Iris’ hand, which startled her. She lifted her head and looked at him.
"We will meet again in four months," king Aeon said with a bright smile, which didn’t reach his eyes. Since Iris couldn’t hear voices, when she talked with someone, their eyes spoke volumes, conveying more than they were letting out.
"Yes, my king." Iris nodded politely.
She felt a little bit dizzy and her breathing became irregular under the scorching sunlight, especially since she was wearing this heavy dress. There were a few layers to this dress, which made her feel suffocated.
Afterward, the five alphas came forward to express their gratitude over how Alpha Cane had hosted the meeting gracefully. It was just for an upfront, all of the people that attended the meeting knew the result was way different from what they expected, and none of them were satisfied with it.
For the five alphas and the king, to let Alpha Cane get a big treasure trove of a pack like Blue Moon pack was a great loss. While for Alpha Cane, having his enemy’s daughter as his luna was something unthinkable.
