Chapter 197: The new fox king
After staying in the beast world for so long and getting kidnapped multiple times, Lyra managed to hone a skill. And that was a better instinct. Maybe not as much as her mates but at best, she could sense when someone approached her or someone’s eyes on her.
And this was a similar situation where she felt a smoldering gaze directed at her. She was immersed in looking at her handsome mates on the plaza when she sensed someone’s eyes on her, making her look toward them.
Two distinct colored pupils with onyx in one and crimson in another gazed at her. Lyra thought she was confused and turned behind her but no one was behind her. So the prince...No the King of the fox tribe was indeed looking at her.
’But why?’ she didn’t get why he was seeing her with such a gaze. Like he wanted to rush towards her. ’Does he have something that he has to say to me?’ she inwardly thought while tilting her head to the side. He was staring at her without even blinking his eyes and that made Lyra squirm in her place. She was worried that he might tear up in front of such a large audience and as though affirming her guess Xavier recoiled in his place while rubbing his eyes when one of the witch masters directed a flame torch towards him.
’’What the hell are you doing!?’’ Xavier growled and glared at the witch master. He was not paying attention because he was busy looking at that pretty female and failed to hear the witch master beside him.
And the clueless witch master didn’t know this and proceeded to continue the rite of handing over the fire torch to the new king but shrunk in his place when he received a stern glare from his king.
’’Are you alright, your majesty?’’ asked one of the fox tribe’s elders when he noticed their king’s discomfort. The new king harshly rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand but still continued to glare at the now trembling witch master.
’’Take that damn thing away from me!’’ Xavier yelled lowly when the witch master stood still in his place without moving. His eyes were literally burning and he had to suppress his urge from rushing away from the plaza. This was not the time for him to do something so reckless. Without any other choice left, he beckoned the witch master and took hold of the fire torch before walking towards his throne.
’’Get this over with’’ he said and the other witch masters fervently nodded their heads before continuing the ceremony.
