Chapter 37: SHE WAS GOING TO POISON THE KING
Zenith saw this, he could have avoided Dawn’s attempt to expose him, but he didn’t do that. He stood there and let her take off his mask.
Dawn didn’t really look surprised, as if she had expected this, her small lips quivered when she hissed with a thick hint of annoyance. "I know it’s you."
These previous days, she didn’t pick his scent because they were not close enough for her to notice this.
For some people, they might not be able to tell the difference between Zander and Zenith’s scent, because they almost had the same scent, more so, aside from the royal beta and the royal gamma, the other people would keep their distance from the king.
"What now? Are you playing king?" Dawn didn’t know why, but she could feel how hostile her words were.
A few days ago, she was still thinking as to how she would react when she met with Zenith again, but now he was standing in front of her, she felt nothing, but annoyance. He had fooled her for days!
"How long have you been playing the King?" She pressed her lips and when Zenith refused to answer her question, she didn’t have any reason to stay. "I have business with the King, not you." She turned around and was about to leave when Zenith caught her hand and stopped her.
"I am sorry."
Dawn was still holding the golden mask in her hand. "For pretending to be the King?"
"For what I have done the other night," he said.
And at that time, Dawn could see the flicker of sadness in his eyes again, before it disappeared and he hid his emotion.
