MainNovelThe Abandoned Lycan Queen 133 CHpater 133 Deacon's POV As soon as I got back to the palace, my Beta, Tyson, rushed to my side. "What's with the hurry?" I asked as we walked side by side toward Iny office.
With long strides to keep up with me, he reported, "I've been looking at the auspicious days this week and I think the day after tomorrow is particularly favourable for officially proposing a marriage." A smile spread to my lips as I entered my office and sat in my chair.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Then we'll do it the day after tomorrow," I replied without hesitation, pulling out my phone to send a message to Elena about it.
Tyson nodded while starting to tweak things from his table. "Then, I'll notify the Irontail pack, about it and prepare sof our gifts for the visit." Swiping through his tablet to check on his calendar, his brows furrowed. Looking up atwith worry, he cautiously said, "By the way, it's the Grand Princess Geline's birthday tomorrow. She sent invitations, hoping you'd attend." A frown immediately formed on my lips as I wasn't really a great fan of her. "Decline it and just send a gift on my behalf." He nodded his head, but he looked like he was contemplating something. After a while, he sighed and reported, As you wish... but... Princess Elena also received an invitation, and she might attend..." My eyes narrowed immediately, and my face darkened as I leaned back in my chair and clasped my hands together, feeling my temple pulse with the incoming headache.
I shook my head as I uttered in disdain, "Grand Princess Geline is cunning. Her sweet appearance is nothing but a mask to hide her cruelty..." Reminded of the past when she'd secretly and severely punish the lower-ranked members just because she felt like it, and how she would manipulate everyone around her like a puppet... bitterness and anger crashed within 1. me.
"She's done far worse than what anyone dares to speak about..." I whispered under my breath.
Knowing what I was speaking about so well, Tyson nodded with eyes glitning with worry, "That one thing is right She's a woman of many faces. Her parties and banquets are nothing more than power plays. Forming alliances... and building up her connections." My gaze hardened as I couldn't help but speak, "One of her hobbies is taking noblewomen as a mistress of her husband, but she'll treat them like cattle and will murder their newborns... I can even remember one of those girls daring to argue with her, but she ended up being severely punished for defying her and killing more." Shocked, Tyson's face churned with disgust while his eyes glinted with anger. "No one is sad with her. Not even her own family. She's the definition of cruel." Despite our rank, with her connections and strong foothold even my brother couldn't handle her easily. Everyone saw her as a sweet girl. Blinded by the mask she was putting on in front of everyone, no one saw the real her. After all, there was no evidence, and no one knew about it except for a handful of people who wouldn't dare to speak. And those who could speak like my brother and me, we didn't have enough to put her out and bring justice.
My fist slammed on my desk in anger. "If I didn't see my uncle drink and crying a few years back, I wouldn't have CHpater 133 heard and learn all his dark deeds." Tyson was left in a momentary trance before he slowly nodded his head in understanding. "Your uncle is known for being a man of honor... I can't imagine what he witnessed or went through that he can't handle it any longer to voice it all out." Rubbing my temples, I signed. "This is why I find it so difficult to believe that this invitation is anything but another manipulation." "Are you worried for Princess Elena?" he asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI paused for a while, lost in my own thoughts. Yes, I'm without a doubt worried.
But that's no surprise. I'd always be worried about her, no matter what the situation she might be in.
But along with my worry was my confidence in my knowledge of who she was. Elena's no ordinary girl. She had been through heaven and hell. She went through a lot of things, and she's one of the finest warriors.
"Elena's no fool. She'll see through Strust my aunt's games... I trust hero"m That's all I said as I tapped my fingers on the table, thinking deeply. "Do you think she should attend? With everything at stake..."
"I can't decide for her. It's her choice, after all. I can only watch and wait," I said, leaning forward to my desk. And seriously adding, "But I will not allow her to walk blindly into any danger. I need to know if she plans to attend... and if so, why." Nodding at him, I ordered, "Go and confirm her plans." Hiding his tablet, he nodded, understanding the weight of the task. "Understood. I'll go immediately." 'Good. We must stay one step ahead of the Grand Princess, no matter how subtle her moves may seem."
