Chapter 270: Arren and Spade (2)
Arren’s 18th birthday wasn’t as extravagant as his coming-of-age ceremony, but they still hosted a large party. Arren’s friends attended, and it came out to be more of an informal event as he indulged himself by finally having to taste the alcohol!
Of course, he still couldn’t drink alcohol every time, but it was his birthday, so his father didn’t reprimand him.
There weren’t too many elderly nobles, so the second part of the party was them having fun. All in all, it was an unforgettable birthday, perhaps second only to his 15th birthday.
"Your Majesty!" Arren’s smile dazzled on his lips as the light seemed to focus on him; his hand waved enthusiastically.
No one could deny that Arren was such a blossoming and enchanting flower. For some reason, as the emperor met his gaze, he momentarily halted his movements, and his eyes stared at Arren as though in a daze. Before Arren could notice, this change disappeared in a split second, as though it had never happened.
Arren waited for the emperor to come closer. He only watched the emperor, his eyes feasting on his figure. Years had passed since he first saw the emperor, but his appearance seemed to become more and more to his liking.
The emperor was definitely his type. Such a hot alpha, Arren’s mindset over the years had also changed from being an innocent crush to one that held desire within.
Of course, he liked the emperor for who he was, not only his appearance.
His sheepish smile grew once the emperor was closer to him, and he took the initiative to open the conversation. Recently, Arren had no time to visit the palace since he was preparing for college, and even as a noble, he didn’t want to attend a university knowing he only paid his way in.
So, this was his first time seeing the emperor again for about a month. Well, after he came of age, Arren had become more cautious in his approach, and he wasn’t as hungry to visit the emperor as when he was younger.
"You’re early," the emperor’s calm voice soothed his nerves in an instant and tickled his heart.
