Chapter 193: _Making History
"Sir, we’ve successfully connected with the World Alliance Television Network." Layla walked into the throne room and announced with a solemn tone, holding her tablet close to her body.
We hadn’t even had the chance to recover from the trial with Lucinda and the witches but we needed to be quick. I glanced at Odessa who stood below my throne, staring at me with uncertainty.
After a few seconds, I tore my gaze away from her and fixed it on Layla. "Get the cameras rolling for my speech to the world in five minutes. The other Alpha Kings need to know about how the truce is coming and also about some... Recent changes."
I felt tense about taking this next step but watched as Layla gave me a nod and walked out of the throne room.
I used that opportunity to get up from the throne and step down under the watchful gaze of Odessa and Althea.
It seemed Althea noticed the change in atmosphere as she cleared her throat before getting up. "I’ll take my leave now. Odessa, we can continue magic training later today."
Althea glanced at Odessa with a knowing smile before she turned around and walked away, her dark purple robes flowing elegantly behind her and her high heels echoing on the marble floor.
Odessa watched her with a speechless pout before she sighed and turned her gaze back to me. We stood only a few inches away, her breath hitting my face when she looked up.
"What... What are we going to tell the people?" She finally found the strength to ask, seemingly out of breath. "Also, the World Alliance Television Network? Isn’t that an independent—"
"An independent World News channel that works outside the control of the witches, werewolves, and humans?" I chimed in with a light sigh.
"Yeah, they are. And I got word that the United States president is having a press briefing through that channel from the white house, addressing the incident at the Charity Ball."
