Semua Bab The Alpha King's Human Queen: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Hyacinth's POVThe Human settlement was far better than I thought it'd be. It beat every mental projection I had of it. I honestly imagined that it'd look like an IDP camp with several people screaming for help, barely surviving, but it was quite the opposite. Although it wasn't as good as most of the villages we passed by, it was neat. The structures were beautiful. “Your Highness.” Liora tapped me. Their leader was standing before me with a straight face. Some of his people were still wary of me. “Your Highness.” He unexpectedly said, bowing before me. “What is your name?” I asked, helping him up, and signalling at everyone else to raise their heads. “Williams. Williams Anaether.” He responded. “What brings you here?” “Can we discuss somewhere private?” I asked, and he stretched out his hand to lead the way. “Liora, make sure they offload the food wherever they want to…” I said, leaning close to her to whisper, “and you can go see your man. Don't be late though.” “Yes , you

Hyacinth's POV “Kael, what unhinged plan do you have now?” I asked, unable to look into his eyes after the dirty vision I had the previous night. “Unhinged or not, it's a plan.” Kael said. Williams came in with a bottle of wine, and a cup. Kael poured himself a cup, and was about to drink it.“You're not even scared that we’d try to poison you.” Williams scoffed. “You wouldn't dare.” Kael answered, taking a sip.“Everyone in the settlement would die, and you'd experience the full wrath of the North. And that'd extend to the South.” Dacian added. “And I doubt any poison would be effective on someone who has been poisoned more times since he became regent than you have harvested your crops.”“We have harvested more than 83 times.” Williams boasted. “Exactly.” Dacian scoffed.“What he said.” Kael added, taking another sip. I gasped, looking at Kael. Goodness heavens knows how many times they've tried to kill him. Williams left the room in defeat, leaving me with Kael. “Kael, don'

Hyacinth's POV Kael and I were immediately crowned as King and Queen with no special ceremony. The kingdom couldn't be left without a supreme leader. Kael hadn't spoken about it since we arrived from the Human Settlement. He was usually quiet unless I said something to force his speech, but this quietness was grief. We arrived at the King's Palace after the quick coronation to see the dead body of the King. The King's eunuchs were weeping profusely as I walked past. “Was there a special reason for his death?” I asked the doctor who knelt beside the King with his head touching the ground.“Your Majesties.” He greeted fearfully. “No, it's just that the sickness had taken over his system completely. And in the past days… he … he… made peace with death.” The doctor said, bursting into tears. I looked up at Kael in his black mourning clothes. Unlike the South where we wear all white attires during mourning, the North went all black. Kael's face was straight like he wasn't grieving, or

Kael's POV “Those are standing rules that have been since the era of the first Human Queen.” Aunt Lois said, educating me. “The five humans are in a sense to cleanse the King since he married a human.”“That's just totally stupid by the way.” I vehemently refused. “If he's not going to have peace or a safe passage into wherever, then he should not have it. He's dead already! No need to add to the list!” “Permit me to speak freely, your Majesty.” She asked, facing the floor. “Like you don't already speak freely.” “What is wrong with you?!” She snapped. “A few months ago, you wouldn't have objected to this. And now, a human leaves your room so early into the day, and you're beginning to lose tradition because of that human?!” “Look, any tradition that has to involve the deaths of people that shouldn't be involved should be abolished.” I stated. “In fact, no tradition should have to involve death.” “But this has to be done for the final burial rites!” She snapped. “No, it doesn't.

Hyacinth's POV I swallowed hard, composing myself as I wouldn't have expected the visit in a million years. “I'll meet him in the visitation room.” I said to Liora who went out to deliver my message. Liora was back in the room in no time. “Your Majesty, he's waiting.” She said, breathing hard. “He's just a man, Liora. I'll speak with him, and we can hopefully call a truce.” I answered, and she immediately nodded. I looked into a mirror, taking a deep breath, making sure I wasn't scared of him. “He's not tougher than Kael. He's not madder than him. You'll be fine.” I assured myself, walking out. “Lord Corvyn.” I called, walking into the visitation room where every man that wasn't the King would have to see me. “Your Majesty.” He bowed slightly, and raised his head as I sat. “You may have your seat.” He looked at me with a smirk on his face. His presence was domineering. His white moustache and beards would make one think he was outgoing, but the scars on his face says otherw
