Chapter 220: Our room
[Scorpion tribe]
The scorpion guards patrolling around their tribe became alert as soon as they sensed a familiar ambiance arriving towards them. One of the guards left his post and entered the castle to inform the king about their prince’s arrival.
’’Your highness’’ the guards near the entrance respectfully bowed as Demir strode inside his tribe while Lyra was still buried in his chest.
The beastmen curiously peeked at the female in their prince’s arms with twinkling gazes. They were obviously relieved as it seemed like their prince had finally found his beloved.
When Demir reached the castle, he caught sight of his father standing regally at the entrance together with the tribe elders. He briefly informed his mate about their presence before putting her down on the ground. Then he helped her in straightening her long skirt receiving a soft ’Thank you’ from her. Following that, a gentle smile bloomed on his face making everyone excluding Lyra freeze. They were yet again surprised by their prince’s change of behavior in front of his beloved.
Whereas, the scorpion king had a satisfied smile on his face as he gazed at his son and daughter-in-law. It bought him so much comfort knowing that his son was in safe hands unlike himself....he lightly shook his head trying to erase the negative thoughts.
’’Your majesty’’ Lyra greeted the scorpion king gaining his attention.
The latter smiled at her before turning toward his son, ’’Take your mate inside and let her rest. We can discuss everything else later’’ then he glanced at the tribe elders who were curiously looking at their tribe’s supposed queen, well future queen in this case because the current scorpion king’s mate was still alive and more importantly, they did not find their prince’s mating mark on the female’s body unless it was covered by her clothing.
’’Let’s leave’’ the scorpion king’s voice boomed inside the castle bringing the elders out of their thoughts. With thier prince’s menacing glare accompanied by the king’s urging, they left Lyra and Demir on thier own.
