"No," Lilac rejected his idea immediately. "Don't you have anything else other than killing people?" she crossed her arms.
"We fight the devil and now they come to our door, what else you want to do? Invite her for dinner?" Jedrek walked away toward his chamber and Lilac followed behind him, the guardian angel was not happy at all with the king's statement.
"We can ask her," Lilac spoke hastily. She had to half running only to keep up with Jedrek's pace.
"There is no need to ask, they will not say anything that is how the devil works." Jedrek didn't slow down and let Lilac caught up with him, the guardian angel was panting, as the sound of their footsteps echoed inside the hallway.
"She is not devil, she is human. You said yourself," Lilac retorted. "Have you forgotten?"
"And just like you said, she has something evil inside of her," Jedrek was adamant with his decision.
However, before he could open the door to his study room, where Lyrus and the other generals were waiting for him, Lilac hastened her pace and placed her palms against Jedrek's chest to stop him.
"No, I am still talking to you." Lilac had to crane her neck in order to look at Jedrek's eyes in this close proximity. He was so tall.
"If you are still asking to meet with the human child, we have done talking." Jedrek stopped walking and glared at Lilac. Actually, he could easily shove her away, but this time he waited for her reaction.
"No, I will talk to her. There are a few questions that I want to ask." Lilac was adamant. It was her who had brought Terra to this castle and placed her in the dungeon, but who would have thought Theo had ordered someone to inform Jedrek immediately about this and now the King forbade her to meet with the girl.
"Or?" Jedrek asked rigidly to his defiant mate. "Or what? You will turn this place upside down again?"
The throne room that Lilac had turned into swamp this morning was still in the process of being repaired, because Jedrek didn't grant her wish to go to the city alone, thus the king assumed his mate wanted to make another swamp in one of his castle rooms.
"No, of course not." Lilac avoided Jedrek's eyes and mumbled sheepishly.
"Listen." Jedrek pinched her chin and tilted her head so she could meet with his gaze when he spoke. "I am the king, so stop arguing with me, especially not in front of my subject."
Lilac swatted his hand from her chin and glared at him. "And I am your queen, so stop treating me like I am one of your subjects." Lilac squared her shoulder to look more confident. "We have agreed with this relationship, so as your equal, I want to have a say in matter like this too. If you want this to work, you can't expect me to listen all of your words while you ignoring mine, that's not how it works."
Lilac was determined to put the things between them right. Jedrek had to stop acting like her words were not worthy enough to be heard.
"You want me to treat you as my equal?" Jedrek asked after a moment of silence.
Lilac blinked her eyes, she was on alert about what Jedrek was about to talk. "Yes."
"Come with me," Jedrek spoke as if he was grumbling and he opened the door while taking Lilac with her into the study room.
Meanwhile, the guardian angel was caught off guard by Jedrek's sudden moves and stumbled forward. Fortunately, Jedrek's hold was firm enough to avoid Lilac from embarrassing herself.
Once the two of them were inside, there were five pairs of eyes staring at them curiously, especially at Lilac.
"If you want to be my equal, prove yourself," Jedrek spoke in very low tone, which only Lilac could hear and then let go of her hand as he walked to his plush chair behind his fancy table, leaving Lilac alone, standing at the entrance of the door that left opened.
Being under the hard gazes of the high rank lycanthropes was not a pleasant experience at all, and right now the Lilac was experiencing it.
The room fell into dead silent when Jedrek sat down on his chair. However, no one seemed to be able to take their eyes off Lilac. They didn't have any idea why she was here.
Jedrek left Lilac right on the door step with the door opened, so she could choose, either she walked away and closed the door from outside or she entered the room and proved herself that she was worthy to be his equal.
That was the king's message and Lilac was well aware.
Taking a deep breath, Lilac turned around, closed the door and entered the room with her head held high, but she hoped no one could hear the sound of her heart beating so fast as her stomach churned in discomfort because of her nervousness.
Even though Lilac did not see it, but she could feel those eyes following every movement that the guardian angel made until she reached Jedrek's seat and found there was no extra chair there.
Lilac stared at Jedrek and watched as the corner of the King's lips slightly moved upward, smirked triumphantly.
However, Jedrek had underestimate his mate if he thought that could make the stubborn guardian angel back down and felt sorry for herself.
With the same grin on her lips, Lilac turned and scanned the room. Unfortunately, there were no spare seats here, as if this meeting was meant only for Jedrek and his five trusted people.
"What are you doing here? This meeting does not require your presence." Theo frowned at Lilac.
And that was the time when Lilac decided that this general should learn how to respect her as his future queen.
"You," Lilac nodded at Theo. "Bring me your chair."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"No," Lilac rejected his idea immediately. "Don't you have anything else other than killing people?" she crossed her arms.
