Chapter 89: Moonlight Festival (1)
The New Year quickly passed, and in the blink of an eye, almost two weeks had passed, which meant the Moonlight Festival was coming up in a few days. This festival was actually more like the New Year of the Empire, when most people celebrated grandiosely.
It was also a weeklong celebration, and the capital or even the whole empire was in a festive atmosphere. It was also one of the most celebrated occasions at the Katz Mansion.
Some of the relatives from the Katz domain would visit the main house to celebrate, and his father would host a banquet for the festival. So, Arren also had to help, and this time his tricks from last time to leave wouldn’t work anymore. The Duke was especially strict at this time.
As the Katz Mansion was getting busier and livelier with the arrival of the side branches, Arren was also getting busy, not to help decorate the mansion with lanterns but to rack his brains on how to inform Spade of what was going to happen.
He still would never forget what was the most important plot point that would happen in the opening of the Moonlight Festival in the Capital square. That was next Monday, January 17. It was already Wednesday, January 12.
That meant Arren only had five days to prepare. However, he had yet to think about how to reveal it to the alpha. Could he say: "The organization was plotting on this day, and a lot of alphas would go berserk, you have to prepare?"
Arren was afraid his alpha would not only look at him suspiciously but would also ask him if he was dreaming. Although Spade would never ask him directly about it for fear of hurting his feelings, the best-case scenario was for the alpha to trust him unconditionally without asking him any questions.
However, how would he explain it soon after? His brain cells were in full force again; this was too troubling. Should he hint at Spade about it, like adding some security at the venue for immediate response?
Arren could only cross that plan out; that might be the best option so he wouldn’t be suspected too much, but the problem was still there. There would still be chaos that would happen, which would be the biggest scandal of the Empire to date. And the fact that it happened in the middle of Spade’s speech too meant that Arren couldn’t accept it happening.
