Chapter 60
Christian sat next to Xandar, and Greg sat next to Lucianne. The alliance and remaining ministers took their seats alongside them. Greg followed Lucianne’s worried gaze and noted the vampires’ freshly beaten-up face.
He then muttered her way, “I have a very good feeling about this meeting, My Queen.”
Lucianne tore her eyes away from the vampires and narrowed her eyes at the duke, who tried hard to press back an amused smirk. Toby sat next to Greg just to make sure that if Lucianne needed a good comeback to silence Greg, he would be there to help. But knowing his best friend, she’d most likely wouldn’t need it. Still, one could never be too careful.
Xandar’s anger was seething again at the sight of Maddock, who had still not got

Octavia was the first to exclaim, “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SUGGESTING?! THAT THE EMPRESS ABDUCTED HER OWN PEOPLE?!”Lucianne asked a little more calmly, “Yes, Duica. What are you suggesting? Was this only detected at the window?”Duica gulped and tried his best not to shake when he said, “No, in fact. It was…” he looked to his comrades for support, who all gave him an ominous nod for him to disclose the whole truth, so he did, “We realized that it was the empress’s scent at the window, but when we sniffed the rest of the castle, we found that the scent was…in every room and corridor.”Before anyone could say anything, Lucianne commented in a pondering manner, “Odd.” She turned to a still-shocked Pe

“NO!” Lucianne didn’t know how many creatures growled that word her way, but their combined volume was enough to make her animal cover its ears in discomfort.Xandar turned Lucianne to face him, and gently shook her by her forearms as he reminded her, “Babe, when we talked about this, we said we’re putting our prisoners there, NOT YOU.”“The prisoners won’t necessarily do things our way or ask what we want, darling.”Juan exclaimed, “Lucy, are you out of your mind?! No one knows how that thing works and you just want to trespass like it was your own territory?”Lucianne argued meekly, “Well, we’re not trespassing if we have the forest&rsqu

With the rising tension in the pindrop silence chamber, the other decipios in the room shrunk further into their seats despite not having anything to do with the attack in Blue Crescent. They simply felt ashamed of sharing that innate power with those who caused the diplomatic conflict.Xandar’s grip on Lucianne’s small hand tightened when he explained, “It was a nightmare. I felt like I was being caged at first then released into a world that is supposed to be real but really isn’t. When the manipulation started taking effect, what I saw around me were only enemies, creatures that we’ve put behind bars and in solitary confinement less than a year ago. My friends and family who were fighting alongside me miraculously disappeared from sight. My wife…was missing.”He paused for a moment

Xandar met Lucianne’s orbs that were sparkling with curiosity before he smiled at the beautiful sight and ran his fingers down her soft hair as he explained, “Bernard IV was the Director-General of the Secret Service that used to exist, sweetheart. The Service started with him, who took in creatures of any species as long as they possessed enough aptitude, attitude, mental stamina, emotional stability and psychological mastery. They operated independent of governments and monarchies, loyal only to civilians but…”He took an uneasy gaze around the room and continued, “His successor didn’t possess the same vision or nobility that he had, and soon, it became evident that politics played a role in how the Secret Service operated.”Lucianne looked around, and then back at her slightly guilty husb

Toby agreed to discuss with Tate about the practice schedules and make arrangements with Rafael. The meeting was dismissed, and everyone went home. Xandar and Lucianne picked Reida up from Christian and Annie’s place and put her into bed before getting into bed themselves. As soon as Lucianne made her space in Xandar’s arms and was about to drift off, Xandar kissed her forehead and muttered, “I am so sorry, Lucy.” She looked up at him with droopy eyes and murmured, “Darling, again, it’s not your fault. It’s not his fault either.” Her hand traced his cheekbone, making his animal coo as it made Xandar pressed his forehead against hers. She continued whispering, “Stop blaming yourselves and each other. Neither of you would have done such a thing. We found a way to s

“I’d like to know more about your father, Pelly. What was the late Emperor Kosh like?” Lucianne asked after she and Pellethia sat down on a wooden bench facing a large pond with a few papilionibus (singular: papilio) - small, blue-colored animals that each had the body of a bee and the wings of spring azure butterflies.“Father was…strict and protective, like most fathers, I suppose. We lost mom when I was three and my governess brought me up after that. Father was often busy with royal duties,” her emerald eyes met Lucianne’s orbs.She continued, “He really liked you, Rosalie I mean, not as an intimate partner, but as a friend or, in his words, a trusted ally. He used to say that Rosalie was someone one could turn to for the cold, hard truth. She was the one who…made him

Pellethia’s self-doubt was not only laced heavy in her voice, but emanated strongly from her bright green eyes. Lucianne wouldn’t have guessed that Pellethia had any problems with leading the empire had the empress not shown this side of herself to her.When Lucianne thought that Pellethia was strict and ferocious to her own people, the empress was actually…scared. The fear she instilled in her governing members was a defense mechanism to shield herself from her own fear of being stepped on, being overlooked, being a puppet to more than willing puppeteers.The fear was also probably another reason why Pellethia never found it in herself to channel the Empress’s Authority. Pellethia probably couldn’t draw out her power because confidence and emotional security wasn’t something that she had pr

Despite having already met her a couple of times and spoken to her, Tate was still nervous about seeing Margaret, who was still kept in a holding unit with her followers. Tate wanted to ask for more leniency in terms of freedom and accommodation by pointing out that Greg’s followers were free to go wherever they pleased and do whatever they wanted.But the difference was that Greg had proven trustworthy when he gave himself up after exposing the Kyltons, pledging loyalty to Lucianne. The duke and his followers even kept her safe during the Blue Crescent attack. Margaret and her people had not done anything close to those things, so there wasn’t a strong enough reason to satisfy granting more leniency than they were already offered.Tate wore a light green shirt and black jeans. Stella was in a white shirt and dark s
