Chapter 118: Trust
Arren shut his eyes and lowered his gaze, not daring to look at her anymore. What was that? Her voice really resembled the one that suddenly overlapped in his ears.
He didn’t know when that was or what its significance was for his fear of her. Arren also couldn’t remember something like that happening before; it couldn’t be a dream as he was certainly awake.
As Arren was immersed in his thoughts, he didn’t answer Princess Noreen yet, which made the air around them somewhat awkward. The elderly yet still beautiful woman looked at a loss to Spade and Mother Empress Liviera. The latter also had no clue and could only look at his son.
Spade, who was staring at his aunt and observing her, blinked, and he politely yet casually spoke for Arren. "Arren wasn’t feeling well,"
"Ah, I see." Princess Noreen nodded and looked at Arren for a moment before having a short talk with Spade.
However, Mother Empress Liviera seemed to notice that something was wrong as he kept silent at the side before shifting his gaze to the three of them and focusing on Arren, who seemed to be still in a daze.
His eyes narrowed before he turned his gaze away.
Arren also snapped out of his thoughts but still kept his mouth shut.
"Royal Mother, Aunt, we’ll head to our seats," Spade said as Arren was dragged to their seat at the center. Arren had no strength in his knees, so all his weight was already transferred to the alpha.
Spade’s face was composed, but as Arren was finally seated, his gaze flickered to the side where Princess Noreen was talking to his omega father. A conflicted emotion flashed across his eyes before he focused on Arren again.
"Are you okay here?" the alpha whispered.
