Chapter 70 Royal Convoy Meeting With Alpha Zion
Seeing that Hue wasn’t saying anything, the Alpha King’s temper was about to flare. But then he reminded himself that Alpha Maxwell’s condition wasn’t his business, and it wouldn’t be wise to meddle in matters that didn’t concern him. After all, he was the one currently in need of their help to learn more about Addison’s condition—so it was better to treat them well.
When Hue noticed the Alpha King had stopped pressing him and instead ordered the healer and doctor to check on Alpha Maxwell, he realized he had been pardoned and didn’t need to explain further.
"Your Majesty, it’s alright. Alpha Maxwell just needs some rest and he’ll be fine. It’s a matter of his constitution—he’s already used to this," Hue explained calmly. When the Alpha King glanced at him, Hue’s expression didn’t show any sign of deceit. The medical staff, seeing this, didn’t intervene further and simply monitored Alpha Maxwell briefly before turning their full attention back to Addison.
Just as the Alpha King was preparing to scold Hue again, he was interrupted by his advisor.
"Your Majesty, you have a secret message," the advisor said through a mindlink, his tone slightly anxious. "It’s from the Midnight River Pack. The royal convoy you sent there is still connected through the magic crystal. Do you wish to receive it?"
Hearing the news, the Alpha King immediately stormed out like the wind. He no longer paid any attention to Alpha Maxwell or Hue—his mind was now consumed with thoughts of his daughter.
Just before leaving the medical ward completely, he cast a brief glance at Addison, then turned sharply and exited with his guards in tow. Behind him, Hue let out a deep sigh of relief, as if he had just escaped an intense interrogation.
Not long after, the Alpha King arrived at the Royal Communication Center, entering his private chamber. This department of the Royal Palace served as the central hub for magical communication—where enchanted crystals were linked across vast distances by spells.
Only trained mages could activate and maintain these connections, and several of them were always on standby, as this center also functioned as the palace’s main intelligence hub where spies submitted their reports. Entry was strictly restricted to authorized personnel.
