TAMING THE BEAST: HER LITTLE PET のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

“So what are you doing so far away from the capital?” Elaina asked again. They were seated together on the floor facing this open sea ahead of them. Mr Jone dug into his bag and brought some wrapped food to eat, he offered some to the couple who politely declined.“I’m heading to Havenwood, I live there now with my family” he answered casually.Elaina's eyes widened in surprise to hear they were both heading in the direction, she was about to point that out when Drake subtly tapped her back and cleared his throat.She turned to him in confusion and he said to the man instead, “Please give us a minute…” Jone nodded respectfully and Drake pulled Elaina to follow him to which she did. She couldn't understand what the fuss was about but she obeyed and they walked to a quiet spot away from Jone's hearing.“What is it? Is something wrong?” She asked unsurely. Did he perhaps see a guard or something suspicious? She wondered. She was hoping the ship might be the peaceful that they continuous

Xavier did not waste a single moment. By the time the palace gates disappeared behind him, the fragile calm he had maintained in the king’s chamber had fully dissolved. The vindication still burned pleasantly in his chest, but beneath it lay something sharper. He was restless and eager to begin demanding action, it had been a while he acted for the king.Power was useless if it was not exercised.The moment his carriage returned to the manor, he summoned the warriors for his first order. A few minutes later they were gathered in the outer courtyard with straightened backs and strict orderliness. They had received the change in leadership order and already anticipated for Xavier to call for a meeting. Xavier stood tall, prideful and composed. He assumed a firm look on his face as his eyes roamed the crowd, looking at anyone who dared to look at him in the eye. Those who did looked away out of respect and fear, Xavier was a rumored strict man of discipline and they didn't want to get o

The revelation did not erase the grief from Davina’s eyes, but it softened something else. She knew Aurora through Reina and she had become a beloved family to her over time. She saw how Reina valued her friend and although she could never match up, she cherished her deeply too. She knew about Aurora's only child and had even tried to foster her instead when Aurora was banished. But unfortunately, she wasn't a baroness then and was in a difficult position to help.It had eaten her up back then and so when she was finally in charge, she tried to find her again but it seemed like she just disappeared. Even Reina didn't know of her whereabouts either. They had exchanged a few letters expressing their worry on how she might be faring. It was surprising to see the child that had given them restless nights now a grown woman.The sharp authority that had ruled Davina’s posture eased, just slightly, as though a window had been cracked open in a long-sealed room. The pain of Reina’s death stil

“Thank you? We actually haven't done anything or rather we haven't done enough for you Elaina. We should be thanking you instead for never relenting on your values despite the difficulties life has thrown at you. You had to fend for yourself all these years but we are here now to help in any way we can. Consider Havenwood and this manor your home, you can stay as long as you like. Do not worry about the bounty for your head, I'll do my best to protect you both… this is the least I can do after not being able to help you all those years ago when you were child” Davina replied genuinely with moist eyes. Elaina nodded, her heart warmed from the kind words and she found herself about to tearing up too. “Alright, that's enough emotional rollercoaster for today. How about we dived into this lovely feast that has been made before it gets cold?” Jone interjected jokingly and they all laughed. They truly had been too distracted by everything to eat properly.His lighthearted comment eased th

Xavier arrived at the palace when dusk was settling in. He was first greeted by loud angry voices as he stepped down from his carriage. Why is the palace premises so noisy? He thought and as soon as he raise his head, he found his answer. The gates were open, far wider than usual, and the courtyard was crowded. People had gathered in clusters, their voices rising into an agitated hum that thickened the air.“This is unacceptable, we will not accept this!”“Why are we being treated like thieves in our own home?”“Is the how the military works? We just want our peace back”***These were a few chants that was heard from the angry crowd. Some shouted openly, others whispered with tight faces and clenched fists. A few even pointed accusingly toward the palace doors as he walked by.Xavier barely spared them a glance. He adjusted his cloak and strode forward, his head and shoulders held high with confidence. Their anger meant nothing to him. If anything, it was proof that his orders had
