Chapter 4: Ultimate Alpha Heir
“You seem distracted and moody. Still having problem sleeping?” Darius asked with concern.
“Yeah...sort of...” Leonard mumbled in reply.
He had been taking pills to help him go to sleep at night, although it didn’t seem to help much. He glanced at Darius’s worried face and decided his brother didn’t need to know that.
“Back to the topic. We can’t send Florian. The reason is simple: he turns up to that event often enough of his own will that it doesn’t make sense to make him represent the nation,” Darius explained smoothly.
“Well...fuck...” Leonard cursed under his breath.
Suddenly, a few knocks sounded from the other side of the door to the room. The two men heard it at the same time. Prince Leonard rolled his eyes before throwing his head back and closing his eyes. If he could choose, he would decide to disappear into thin air without a second thought. Darius shook his head slightly before he got up from his seat and approached the door.
“It’s me. The King’s senior advisor, Callum,” a low and stern voice, introduced himself from the other side of the door.
Wordlessly, Darius opened the door and gestured for the older man to enter the room. He knew that Leonard also knew who was at the door, which explained his reaction. Leonard still had his hands covering his face when the two men approached the table.
“You won’t succeed in hiding behind your hands, Prince Leonard,” Callum said without mercy.
