Chapter 304: IN MY DREAM
Apparently, what Cane said to Lou seemed to have left the merchant with a lot to think about. He immediately went back to the palace to think over the matter thoroughly. He didn’t join them for dinner.
It was not like his presence was expected either, thus no one asked why he was not there.
As such, the dinner proceeded in the dining room just like the last time, with no change in their sitting positions whatsoever, as Cane sat on Prince Kellan’s right side while Iris settled beside him.
From the corner of his eye, he could see how uncomfortable Iris was to be close to the Prince. She looked like she was going to flee at any moment, yet Cane did nothing. His eyes flickered with a complicated look.
He had been trying to figure out what was wrong with Iris, at the same time digging deeper into Prince Kellan, yet he found nothing suspicious aside from the incident ten years ago when he was dethroned as the Crown Prince. Aside from that, his image had always been impeccable.
"I am so glad to see you have recovered well!" Prince Kellan said cheerfully, he was smiling at Iris and she was left with no other choice, but to look back at him, since it was not polite to ignore the Prince. "How are you feeling now?"
"Thank you, Prince Kellan, for your concern, I am feeling better now," Iris said softly, as she held Cane’s hand tightly, as if she was holding onto her dear life.
"I am glad. Alpha Cane was very worried about you." Prince Kellan slid a huge chunk of meat onto her plate, which was supposed to be an honor to Iris, but she felt sick just at the sight of the meat. "Here, eat more. You need to gain your energy back."
"Thank you, Prince Kellan."
"I should apologize to you, after all, I forgot that you are allergic to strawberries," Prince Kellan said and then he laughed merrily to see the confused look on Iris’ expression. "I have told you before, we were rather close when you were little, unfortunately, you don’t remember it."
Cane glanced at his mate, who just lowered her head and said nothing.
