Mother Luna’s POV“Your grace, the chief elder is waiting for you. He has been visiting for a few days now… all in your absence.”My attendant said as soon as I got to the door.“Did he make mention of his reason?”“Not at all. He just said it’s important, hence why we had to send the letter.”I drew in a deep breath, knowing whatever the matter was couldn’t be simple. If victor wanted to see me so urgently, it had to be something very serious.So as I walked into my room, I wasn’t surprised when he jumped up and basically lunged at me.“Where have you been, Celes—,”I gave him a sharp look, causing him to pause immediately as he realized his mistake.“Oh forgive me, your grace.”The bastard. He was literally about to call my name forgetting that my attendants were still in the room with me. What a freaking lunatic.I gave him the stink eye before silently instructing them to leave the room.When we were finally alone, I got into it.“What the hell is wrong with you, Victor? You can

King Kerman’s POV“Wh—what do you mean?” “You heard me. I don’t plan on repeating myself.”She locked eyes with me and we stared in silence.I had things to do. Hell, I just received a report about another missing person’s case. I should be all over the place trying to catch the bastard responsible so he can take me to their master because I know he must have someone behind him. However, no matter how much I wanted to get up off that chair, I couldn’t do it.Her silliness was all I could think of.Lordship?Uhm, hi?I’m the king for goodness sake. Who is the brat trying to get on my nerves?After a while in total silence, she finally opened her mouth.“Well, it depends…If you’re a worthy leader, then of course, I must be ready to put my life on the line for you.”Silence.Ready to put her life on the line for me if she deems me worthy enough.Hmm.I ran my eyes over her one more time before rising to my feet. “Get up, we’re leaving the palace.”“Wait, right now?”“Why? Is there a p

Elle’s POVI lifted my head, staring at him. “I’m so sorry, your majesty. It was a slip of tongue. I’m really not used to this but I promise, I will try to work on it to avoid a repeat of this situation.”I thought I sounded ridiculous but at least, it should be enough to do the work.“And what if I reject your apology?”I paused, confused. Then a smirk escaped my lips. “Uhm, I’m not sure what you mean, your majesty.”“You heard what I said. Lift your head, let me see your face.”My goodness.He sounded like a maniac. A control freak who liked to be worshipped if my observation was being precise.Anyway, I lifted my head.“What if I do not accept your apology?”“I don’t understand,” I followed with a low dry chuckle.“I mean, I don’t think you will do that.”“And why is that?”What?“Well… for starters, I already made it clear that I’m new to town and very new to this…”I looked around me. “…place.”Silence.“And yet you came to look for work here. A place you are not very familiar

Elle’s POVI stopped in the middle of the hallway, my mind going back to the direction I was given by sir Caius.I was still confused but shortly enough, I sighted what I believed to be a guard and walked towards him.“Uhm hi, I don’t mean to bother you, but could you direct me to the King’s office?”He drew his head back, clearly surprised by my question.“What? Are you new to the palace? Who doesn’t know the king’s office?”I swallowed, giving him an awkward laughter and trying to mask my rookieness. “Actually, I had a serious fall recently, and it has kind of messed with my head. If you could just point me in the direction, I would appreciate it.”He ran his eyes over me one more time as if he couldn’t believe the words coming out of my mouth but ultimately lifted his hand, pointing to a direction.“Oh, thanks.”I scurried off before he could say anything again. This was because I instinctively remembered Mara’s warnings. Although it was quite vague, I could tell she didn’t want

King Kerman’s POV“I need your words, chief, silence does nothing.”He swallowed, finally letting go of the tension in the his shoulder.“Forgive me, your majesty. I did not mean to abger you.”His lips said one thing but eyes said another.“You did not anger me, chief. You were only worried about the people, of course it is right to bring it up.”“Err, so why did you say those things a moment ago if you don’t mind me asking.”Exactly. Why did I?I smirked. “I was only pulling your legs. A simple joke if you will.”“Oh,” he muttered, feigning a smile but I caught the crack in his demeanor. Being put on the spot like that must have unnerved him, afterall, usurping the throne was a terrible idea that only brought doom to those involved. Besides he certainly did not expect it. He was used to having the last say in my own meetings. “Well, thank the moon goddess. So can I continue asking about the purpose of the warriors on the street?”“Of course you can and the answer is simple,” I loo

King Kerman’s POV.My mind was still on the discussion I had with my mother a few days earlier so as I stood in front of my mirror, getting dressed for the morning meeting, I still felt a bit of anger. It wasn’t like that was the first time she was rubbing it in my face. Whenever she got the chance, she always reminded me about what she had to go through to secure the throne for me after my horrible past.That was the defense she always used to shut me up.The defense she always used to get me to do her bidding and of course, it’s always worked. However, I couldn’t imagine myself falling for her trap yet again.Not for this. Not for the woman I intended to spend the rest of my life with.I knew if I’m married to Thalia, she and my mother would only end up as a force against me. I would ultimately be alone in my own palace and I couldn’t let that.Besides, her father was another force to reckon with.I knew he had one or two things to say about my reign so naturally, there was no way
