The Abandoned Lycan Queen 107 Deacon's POV Seating at my desk, surrounded with a mountain pile of papers, the weight of the day's reports started pressing down on me.
Days like here were the reason why I preferred being on the battlefield and a general, than being on the palace working through paperworks. Not only did I had to work on reports about happening in the kingdom as a prince, but I also had to review the strategies, supplies, and safety protocols aroudn the entire kingdom as a general.
I knew it's a bit ironic to wish to be in a war, considering the lives taken from it...
Thinking about that, I sighed and went back to focusing on the reports, knowing that enduring reading through these files of words and working my hands out for signatures were much better than attending a warrior's wake.
I was in the middle of reviewing the safety protocols at the border when a knock cin, which brought a control smile on my lips.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"That means break," I thought to myself.
"Cin," I ordered as I leaned back on my seat.
The relief I felt thinking I'd had a break instantly vanished when my beta, Tyson, cinside with a constipated expression on his face.
"Duchess Diana arrived early this morning. Like you instructed, she'd be staying in your wing of the palace at the biggest room on the ground floor..." The hesitation on his face toldthat everything weren't going as smoothly as it should be.
"But-"I sighed and motioned for him to continue, "I hear a but in there." Heaving a sigh, Tyson continued, "But right after settlign her things down in her room, she started renovating the entire residence and spending quite a huge sum of money." "What?" My head instantly pulsated with impending headache upon hearing that.
My mom always live on the other palace. She and Desmond's mother both cto terms about their setup. Queen Liz was generous enough to accept that my mom was someone important in my father's life and so did my mother.
Being Queen Liz the true love of my father, my mother lived outside which she was completely okay with. She didn't hate it, after all everyone still respected her as a Duchess and she had all the luxury in the world, without needing to work with any Queen responsibility. But most of the times, she just live so lavishly that's it way too much.
She's always been excessive and I got use to it by now, but that didn't mean she could turn my residence upside down when she's only here to visit. Not to mention, it's not her place. She had her own place to waste her wealth 1. in.
"What is she doign now?" I asked through pursed lips, trying to stop myself from getting agitated.
"I just got a word that she just spent a fortune renovating the backyard into a luxurious garden. The entire courtyard looks like a palace from a fairytale now..." With a cautious expression, he continued slowly, "And apparently, Duchess Diana also brought along your sister, Princess Kathleen to stay." "What?" I stood up in shock. "What the hell? A fortune? The last tI checked, we didn't need to throw a lavish garden party." 1/2 Chapter 107 Her bringing back our youngest sister was something I could handle. Kathleen might be a bit spoiled brat as she's a girl and also the youngest of us, but she's adorable and nice when she's not throwing a tantrum.
What I couldn't handlw was how my Mom turn my residence into a lavish place and use my hard-earned money for that, which was soemthing I'll surely turn back after she leave, that's too much.
Motioning at the door, I said with a sigh knowing well that might not change anything anyway. "Tell her to stop wasting money." And it turned out, my Mom's attitude weren't a compelte secret as Tyson read her too well already, making him let out a small grin. Well, you know how she is. Everything she does, she does grandly." He was about to turn around and leave to do as I say and try to control my mother's spending when he halted midway and snapped his fingers. "Right, I almost forgot." Turning to face me, he reported, "I got news that Bryson's mother caused a scat Ironpaw pack today." "Elena's Pack? What happened?" I asked attentively, causing Tsyon to senda teasing look which I wioed off from his face by narrowing my eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShrugging his shoulder, he narrated, "Apparently, she was going around accusing Elena of all sorts of shitty things, claiming she treated Elena like a daughter, gave her everything she needed after her divorce. That she was well compensated and all that."
Shaking my head, I sat down and clenched my jaw at the thougths of Courtney making a fuse. "Bryson's mother really has no shame. She N kept spreading lies every chances she get and think she can continue to play the victim." Raising my head, I asked through gritted teeth, "What happened next? Did she got away with it?"
Amusement glinted on Tyson's eyes and he smirked. "Not exactly. Elena's Beta and her servant stepped inm refuting her every false claim. They narrated the truth that it was all Princess Elena's dowry and how Alpha Bryson disregarded her. Her pack members were about to burst into a fight for her." Lettell you, her members got ssolid loyalty not to mention fearless," he added with interest.
"Just like their Luna," I replied with a smirk.
"I can imagine Luna Courtney fuming mad right now," I added with a small alugh.
Tyson laughed as well. "Tellabout it. Their entire family beca subject of scorn right now. I heard Pricness Elena also heard all of it."
Hearing that brought frown upon me.
"She must be feel awful about it." Shaking my head, I continued m "Courtney is probably doing this to manipulate everyone, especially when her new daughter-in-law turned out not to be as great as she first thought her to be." "That's not all. There's more..." Tyson said cautiously, makinglook up at him with full attention." "What is it?" His next words brought anxiousness in my heart.
"It's about the king's proposal to Princess Elena to be a Queen."
