Just as Aylin had predicted, as soon as the truth about Alpha Alexis' disappearance was brought up before him, his calm facade cracked and he stood up from his throne immediately. All his ministers who were watching the scene from behind took a step back instinctively in fear. Though it was quite rare of their King to lose his cool in the palace and in front of them, they could not help but be wary of him.
Their bodies stiffened and their faces paled. The veins in their hands popped as they clenched their fists while waiting to see what would happen next.
However, unlike them, Aylin was oddly calm and she stood in her place as she stared at her King without backing off. He had all the reasons to be angry. But he had no reasons to be angry at her or her men, especially when neither among them knew where the Alpha of Renada had gone nor did they know who had abducted him.
She was calm and utterly in control and Louis, who had been stunned to see the change his Alpha King, turned towards his Commander. But when he saw her standing calmly and at peace, he too stood still, putting all his trust on his Commander just like he always did.
"Would you mind repeating what you just said, Commander?" Myron asked, his tone oddly normal. Yet, nobody missed the way his eyes were changing colors. His wolf was fighting him and the Commander was in grave danger. Yet, there was no reaction from the woman whatsoever and she faced the furious Alpha King head-on.
"Your Majesty, I have already revealed the truth to you and now, I am here to seek your permission to start investigating this matter." She replied, her tone devoid of any reaction. She did not even panic when the man near the throne narrowed his eyes at her. And her courage impressed all the other men in the room.
Even though she was just a human and was facing the Alpha King who right now was incensed, she was still able to keep her cool and this was not a feat many people could achieve. The Commander of Aranill was surely a woman worthy of her post and the men, despite hating to be led by a lady, still applauded her silently in their minds.
"Commander Aylin," Myron gritted his teeth and his son, Caelan tilted his head in wonder. His father had never lost his composure in the throne room before. His odd behavior did not sit well with him and he stared at him curiously. But did not stop him from rebuking the Commander who did not show any traces of fear.
"This is a grave mistake from your side. It was your men who neglected your duties due to which the Alpha of Renada has gone missing." Myron shouted and the people in the room shivered.
Aylin just gazed at them coldly before her eyes fell on her King again. Though she had expected his behavior and anger, she did not envision him to conduct this way in front of everyone. It was peculiar and Aylin felt something amiss but could not point out what.
"Do you have any idea how much trouble we will be in when the matter spreads far and wide?" he continued to shout and Aylin continued to observe him.
"Your Majesty." Louis stepped forward, unable to see his Commander being condemned in front of everyone when it was he who had failed to protect the Alpha of Renada. Even though he was a sinner, he was still an Alpha and any danger to his life would bring only trouble to them, especially when it was under their sight he had gone missing.
However, before he could speak another word, Aylin held his hand discreetly, forcing him to stop speaking. Anything he said at this moment would be used against him as well anybody else who tried to defend and support them.
Though aggrieved, Louis stopped himself in time. He understood why his Commander had stopped him but to him, it was just like pushing all the blame meant for him on her and this rendered his heart highly unsettled.
"Commander Aylin," Myron ignored Louis' attempt to interrupt his conversation with his Commander. To him, he was just an insignificant person and Aylin narrowed his eyes when she saw the disdain for the man beside her in the King's eyes. He did not even hide it and this was enough for him to fall lower than he already was in her eyes.
Myron had already lost his respects long ago when she had seen his two-faced behavior. He was highly unworthy of occupying the throne, let alone rule over the world and protect everyone. However, she was not formidable enough to fight him and revolt against him and the other people did not dare go against him when his wolf was considered to be the strongest in the world. She was waiting for the right moment to handle the man who only cared about his desires.
Yet, she could not disrespect the throne. So, tolerated him, waiting for the day when she could revolt against him and punish him for the sins he had committed.
Taking a deep breath, she looked at the man who was glaring at her.
"You will be held responsible for all that happened and until you provide me with a reasonable explanation, you will not be able to escape your punishment. And..." He stopped suddenly as he glanced at his son who was already looking at him. "I want you to find Alpha Alexis at all costs. We need him and we need him alive. Otherwise...." He threatened her and everyone understood that not only was her position as the Commander of Aranill was at jeopardy, even her life was at stake.
Audible murmurs erupted in the room, stunned by the Alpha King's warning. But what surprised them more was the woman. Even after being admonished and threatened in front of everyone, she did not react much. Her face remained impassive as always.
Other than a strange glint in her eyes, there was no other emotion on her face and even Myron was taken aback by her indifferent attitude. He was annoyed and uneasy. Her reaction was not what he had expected and he could not help feel an unknown premonition rising in his heart. He could not ease the uncomfortable feeling in his heart and Myron felt defeated all of a sudden.
"I accept my mistake, Your Majesty. Now, if you will permit us, we will start with the investigation." Aylin stated gently and the cunning Alpha Kind had no reason to criticize his Commander, not when she had readily agreed to her mistake and shown her willingness to accept her punishment.
Utterly frustrated, Myron wave his hand not knowing what else to do and the two people who had created chaos in the courtroom left the place immediately. His Commander's mysterious behavior only irked him all the more and a stunned silence ensued in the room, nobody willing to provoke the man who was just short of losing his mind completely.
The moment Aylin left the throne room, she let out a breath. When she saw the man beside her about to speak to her, she shook her finger at him, forcing him to swallow his words.
'Not here.' She mouthed and Louis nodded at her and the two left the palace. It was not until they departed from the palace premises completely with Phillips and the other warriors accompanying them that Louis started speaking again.
"Please forgive me, Commander. I...I..."
"I have already told you, Knight Commander Louis, that there is no need for you to plead for forgiveness. You were not at fault and I do not blame you for what happened. No way did you know that such a mishap would happen on your journey to Aranill." Aylin claimed and Louis could not help but feel touched. Her trust in him astounded him. But her willingness to trust him astounded him all the more.
"Now, please lead us to the spot, Sir Louis. We will have to trouble you to help us find the culprit behind this." Though Aylin was smiling at him, her eyes were stern and compelling and Louis forgot about everything else. With a nod, he tapped his feet and the horse started to gallop faster. He took the lead as he guided the group towards the spot where the mishap had happened.
Meanwhile, back at the palace, the throne room was utterly silent. Even Caelan himself did not step forward to ease the tension in the air. His father was irate and provoking him at such a time would only be invoking his own demise and Caelan was wise enough to stay silent. None of the ministers too spoke up, not even daring to breathe louder lest they should unleash the beast.
Thye just stood still as they waited for the man to calm down. All they wanted was to leave the place for now until the Alpha King returned to his placid self. Yet, nobody moved as they stood in their places with their eyes lowered.
Caelan ran his eyes across the eyes and unable to tolerate the killing silence anymore, his face scrunched up.
'What cowards!' He mocked the people in his mind. 'Commander Aylin was far better than them.' He sighed lightly and closed his eyes. 'Father.' He mind linked the man who still seemed furious.
'Please calm down.' He tried to appease his father and magically, his words worked on him.
Myron came out of his daze and his eyes returned to normal. Even his anger vanished and he glimpsed at his son who was already looking at him questioningly. There was a myriad of questions swirling in his and Myron was in his eyes. But he was in no mood to answer them.
"That is all for today." He stated and walked out of the room, leaving everyone baffled behind him. Myron did not even care about the looks his men were giving him. He even ignored the whispers that only kept increasing as he proceeded towards the throne room. All he had in mind was what he had heard from his Commander. He could not shake off her words and the familiar chills went down his spine.
Just like the other, even Caelan who was waiting for him to explain his behavior could not help but be surprised. His father's behavior was too abnormal. Without considering the other men in the room, he chased after him.. He now had to find out what his father knew and was hiding from everyone, including him.
