Chapter 103: Temporary Curtain Call
After their extreme showings of affection for each other, Spade and Arren had become so close that no one was letting go of each other. Even when Spade was instructing and ordering his subordinates to handle the aftermath, his arms were still around Arren.
While Arren was also clinging tightly to the alpha, he didn’t let go even when his father was already talking to the alpha and they discussed something.
No one commented on this behavior of theirs, and no one even dared to notice it. As for the Duke, he also understood that the two of them, after what happened, needed time for each other.
Spade also solemnly bowed that he would pursue those that escape and the individuals that were still hiding in the capital, and even the entire empire. It wasn’t only for Arren, but for those fallen royal guards who did their duty.
In his opinion, this incident not only related to Arren and the attempt to kidnap him, but it was already about the safety and order of the Empire and the world. The organization showed its fangs on the Empire boldly; they couldn’t be ignored anymore and they must take action.
The incident had a temporary curtain call for now; neither side was willing to start a full-scale war yet this early. However, with the ambition and disrespect they showed, war was imminent. Spade would not back down either; whether it was the empire’s destruction or the organization’s, surrender was never an option.
Spade was prepared to fight until the end.
However, there was something more important for him to focus on. He glanced at the omega in his arms, who was clutching tightly to him, and he couldn’t help but be distressed.
What happened today would undoubtedly leave a scar on Arren, and he couldn’t do anything about it. He knew that this was only the beginning; when the war started between them, the omega would be exposed again to this kind of battlefield. In this case, he and Duke Evan had similar opinions.
