Chapter 244: An Alpha without a mate
Casaio opened the apartment’s door, finding Zilia and Idris right in front of him.
"Your Highness!" Idris smiled brightly, then looked at his sister, who avoided looking at the Alpha Prince.
"Go inside," Casaio said, giving them a way. Both of them walked in while Casaio stepped out to talk with Sanric.
Meanwhile, inside the apartment, Idris first drank water. He filled a glass for Zilia as well and brought it to her. "Sister, drink it," he encouraged, moving the tray toward her.
Zilia smiled and grabbed the glass. While taking slow sips, she thought, ’How did he find out where I was? The innkeeper didn’t know me. Then, how?’
"Sister, I’m sleepy," Idris said, yawning. But he couldn’t go since Casaio was outside. He would shortly come and talk to them. So, it would be disrespectful if Idris went to bed.
"Idris, you can go to the room and sleep. I am sure Prince Casaio wouldn’t mind it," Zilia replied.
"No. I will stay here," Idris refused to go.
Zilia didn’t force him and remained seated on the couch with her hands clasped together. Finally, Casaio entered the apartment and saw both of them waiting for him.
"It’s quite late now. You two should go to bed and sleep," Casaio replied, keeping a softness in his tone. Zilia knew he had buried the anger inside him and would burst out later.
As he turned and left, Zilia rose to her feet. "Idris, go to bed. I’ll return shortly." She rushed after Casaio and caught him in the corridor.
"Why did you do it?" Zilia questioned. "I wasn’t supposed to return, yet you..." She couldn’t finish off as Casaio intervened.
