Chapter 291: Pressure
Chapter Two Hundred-Ninety-One – Pressure
Laurel didn’t expect to be attacked by motherly warmth, a hearty compliment to her Beta and herself, and then being offered a meal with the King and Queen.
It stunned her how these people treated her like a famous Princess, and it felt weird because she never experienced it before. She hoped her actions wouldn’t show that fact.
The Queen placed a piece of steak in her plate and Laurel stared at it quizzically. She looked at the Queen who smiled brightly. Laurel smiled back.
This was probably how mothers act, she wouldn’t know.
Zeldris watched the two maidens literally feed the Beta, who only had to open his mouth to receive the food.
And the maidens did it like it was the greatest honor. Zeldris hid his embarrassed face. Couldn’t the spoiled child not act spoiled at the time?
"Can I know your name, young man?" the Queen asked as she dropped her utensils on the table. Servants took her almost finished plate away. She was handed a glass wine which she gulped down immediately.
Zeldris looked from himself to the Beta causally eating. Did the Queen refer to him? He noticed that the Queen hadn’t reacted to the Beta nor he to her.
He knew the Beta walked in when the Princess and the Queen were hugging but he expected them to have a little interaction afterwards.

Zeldris exhaled softly. "Zena Cauldron, your highness."
