Chapter 318: The truth
It was easy for Alice to slip inside the castle going unnoticed by the guards who were currently busy controlling the riot outside the gates. She couldn’t help but send a mocking smile toward Kyrell and his ever-so-visible arrogance. His status as an immortal beastman and his position as a King made him think he was invincible. He acted like he couldn’t care less about the beings that he thought as beneath him.
And that worked perfectly well to Alice’s advantage. With the deliberate distraction made by her males back in the crowd, it was leisurely roaming the palace and at last reaching the King’s quarters.
Golden blonde hair sprawled across the white pillow followed by a serenely sleeping figure caught Alice’s eyes as soon as stepped inside Kyrell’s room. Her ’Mates’ were already busy taking care of the lone witch master who was guarding Lyra. To be just sure, they killed the former to clear all the evidence that might implicate Alice in the future. It was not like she cared for the outcome of her actions in the first place. After doing this....after achieving her goal, it wouldn’t matter if she lived or died.
Kyrell could torture her all he wanted but Alice would make sure to take all of it with a big smile on her face. In fact, seeing him lose himself with anger and regret after his beloved’ death would bring her nothing but satisfaction and happiness.
But to complete her dream, she first had to do something else. Turning to her mates and suitors, she parted her lips, "You can leave now" Then she shifted her attention to Lyra’s sleeping figure, "I have something important to discuss with, Her Majesty" Alice was generous enough to give the respect Lyra deserved before her death. Her animosity was towards Kyrell and Kyrell alone, Lyra had done nothing to Alice. But it didn’t matter. Loving, caring, and entering Kyrell’s wretched life in the first place was her mistake. And as a punishment for this mistake, Lyra has to die. At least she was dying a Queen. It was the last consolation Alice could grant the one she was about to kill.
Everything would go by her wishes or so she thought until she turned around to find her males still standing inside the room instead of doing as she had told.
"What are you doing?" a nerve ticked along the side of her face, she glared at the disobedient males before asking, "Didn’t you hear me? I asked you to leave"
The males fidgeted in their places. After a lot of hesitation, one of them decided to speak his mind, "I don’t think this is right, Alice. We don’t feel comfortable leaving you alone. What if you get hurt?"
Alice smirked, "It’s true that someone will indeed get hurt today but I doubt it will be me"
