Chapter 315: Important
Hearing kyrell’s conviction-filled words made the Eagle tribesmen bewildered. The elders glanced at each other with pale faces while the witch masters started to panic. After what felt like an eternity, the witch master that had been treating Lyra opened his mouth, "Your majesty, aren’t you already mated?"
That was it. That was the question that swirled in the minds of everyone present but no one had courage to ask. Some of them were glad that at least someone asked what was important. King Kyrell already had a mate. Queen Alice was his mate or that was what they believed till now.
"What are you talking about?" Like everyone else, Kyrell had a confused look on his face but his reason differed from the others. His tribesmen waited with bated breath which made Kyrell answer, "I think you are mistaken, I have not yet marked, Lyra"
"Not queen Lyra, your Majesty" a frustrated Elder from the crowd stepped forward. He had enough of talking in circles, "It’s about, Lady Alice"
"What about her?" Kyrell still didn’t get it. Why were they getting so worked up? And what is this about Alice? But he was definitely not ready for what he heard next. It left him completely speechless.
"Aren’t you mated to Lady Alice, Your Majesty?" as soon as those words were told, Kyrell became blank. He took a good minute to comprehend what he just heard. Then he questioned himself thinking he had heard something wrong. It was a possibility. With thoughts all over the place, it was feasible to have lost his mind.
"What?" then an amused laugh left his mouth as he looked at his tribesmen, "Who....told you that?"
The tribesmen were baffled, "The entire tribe knows about it, Your Majesty. Lady Alice herself told us that you two mated with each other"
Kyrell’s face fell. He glared at the one that talked, "What nonsense are you spouting right now!? Why would I mate with Alice? Are you out of your mind?" He couldn’t understand what the hell was going on inside his tribe. For the past few weeks, he had been busy with matters regarding Lyra and Nathan going missing. He had no time to attend anything else. That felt like the biggest mistake now.
