"If I were to win the contest and become the Alpha King, neither you nor I will have to give up on what we both love." Azimir declared with such resolve that Aylin was in awe of his confidence. She gaped at him with her lips parted while her eyes held the affection she had for him.
Aylin had gone through the names of all the alphas who were contesting to be the Alpha King and she had met most of them. Despite not meeting Azimir until now, she had deemed him to be the strongest Alpha among the others and the man with the highest possibility to be the next Alpha King.
Though Aylin had not witnessed his abilities herself, she had heard about his formidability and his powers, especially while dealing with his enemies. Along with his intelligence and the viciousness necessary for a king to rule his kingdom, Azimir would make a perfect Alpha King.
"If I were to occupy the throne, I will be to get what I want and what I desire the most." Azimir continued.
"And what is it that you desire the most?" Aylin blurted out instinctively before the realization hit her and she bit her lip in embarrassment.
Azimir stayed silent this time, a wicked light flashing through his eyes. His face hardened when he recalled his other motive behind his intentions for the throne. His excitement dimmed and a glimmer of despair settled on his face. But it was all ephemeral.
Before Aylin could sense something to be amiss in him, he returned to his composed self and he smiled at her mischievously.
"Will you believe me if I were to say that I desire you?" He stated, not at all guilty of hiding the truth from her. The truth had to remain hidden as long as possible, not until he occupied the throne at least and he had to make sure no one learned about it, not even Aylin. He was uncertain if she would agree with what he had in mind for the future but Azimir was determined.
Neither would he give up on his intentions, nor would he let her go. The moment she had confessed her feelings for him, Azimir had promised in his mind to never let her go. She was destined to be with him for life and considering Aylin's character, he had an inkling that she would support him instead when she would learn his cruel truth and in turn, assist him in the process.
However, he did not trust her, not yet. He did not trust anyone, not when he had seen the cruel acts of betrayal from people who he had trusted the most.
Aylin's blush intensified on hearing him and she lowered her head as she tried to avoid her gaze. Her heart was humming in joy while butterflies fluttered in her stomach, sending waves of excitement through her body. She was beyond jubilant to have met a man like Azimir and more so because she had decided to be with him for life.
"Would you be surprised if I were to say that I desire you too?" She questioned back. Her face was now crimson red, just like a blooming rose and Azimir snapped out of his thoughts after listening to her unexpected reply.
His smirk widened, amusement dancing in his eyes and he pulled her close until Aylin's chest hit him and they were pressing on each other. A gasp left her lips at his sudden actions and she placed her palms on his chest as she stared at him.
"Am I to say that I have successfully invaded your heart and it would not be long before I would occupy it completely?"
Aylin was abashed by Azimir's shamelessness. Until then, she had never envisioned the upright and intimidating man to have such a side to him. But she did not find him despicable whatsoever. His brashness only made her heart thump madly and she was attracted to him more than she already was.
Azimir did not mind Aylin's silence for he had seen her reply in her eyes and he let out of sigh of contentment. She was truly a gorgeous woman, one who he wished to protect and love for life. He pecked her forehead before he embraced her again, allowing the woman to snuggle closer to him, his ears now on alert as he waited for the two people who were observing him to reveal their intentions in doing so.
Louis smiled at seeing the couple embracing each other. Though the man's back was facing him and he was hidden from Aylin's line of sight, he had an inkling that the young Alpha of Ideni had already sensed his presence, given his abilities. Yet, he did not stop watching them silently until Travis interrupted him loudly.
"Sir Louis, when are we leaving for Renada?" He queried, oblivious to the old man's thoughts. He did not even notice where his gaze was focused as he started to wipe his sword with a clean cloth.
"Say, Travis, what do you think of the Alpha of Ideni?"
Travis halted his movements and he gave the man beside him a perplexed look, not knowing that the moment Louis questioned him, Azimir, who had his ears on them, stiffened slightly.
"Why are you asking me this, Sir Louis? Is something the matter?" Travis was still baffled and he lowered his sword before facing the man.
"Just answer me." Louis did not avert his gaze away from the couple, his smile widening while his expression turned soft and kind, stupefying Travis utterly.
"Alpha Azimir is a terrifying man. He is the only other person after our Alpha King to intimidate me and he did not even have to do anything."
"Continue please."
Travis could not understand why Louis was asking him this. Nevertheless, he thought for a while before he started to speak again.
"Even though he is frightening, he is a just man and a wise king. It is evident from the way the people of Ideni treat him. All I have heard are praises and respect for him."
"What do you think of him as a man?" Louis interrupted him and Travis' eyes widened slightly in surprise. He remained silent as he pondered over Louis' peculiar behavior.
When he did not get any response, Louis glanced at him and let out a chuckle, his eyes twinkling in mirth. The young man's confused face was a sight to behold.
"Say, if my daughter were to ever love a man like him, should I give my blessings to them?" Louis changed his words, his smile not leaving his face.
"But you do not have a daughter."
Azimir's brow shot up immediately and he realized at once that Louis knew he was listening to them. Yet, he did not stop and kept his ears on them, waiting to see what the two men were up to.
"I am just asking. Answer me, Travis."
"Maybe." Travis bit his lips as he thought it.
"Would you mind elaborating?"
"Sir Travis, Alpha Azimir is a powerful man and he is capable enough to keep his people protected and safe all the time. Among all the kingdoms under Aranill, we have the least requests for help from Ideni." Travis explained as he stared at the lawn from the balcony. "It shows that the man is capable enough to solve all the problems himself."
"What if the man himself is a problem?"
Travis understood the meaning behind his words and he shook his head in denial. "It cannot be, Sir Louis. I have heard what the people of Ideni speak about their King and they have nothing but praises towards him. If I were you, I would not worry if my daughter were to marry him. He would surely treasure her and love her more than his life. A king who treats his subject with love would definitely treasure his queen and love her for eternity."
"I see."
Louis did not speak further and Travis frowned lightly on noticing his strange behavior.
"Why did you ask me about Alpha Azimir, Sir Louis?"
"It is nothing important. I just wanted to know your opinion of him."
"Then, what is your opinion of him?" Travis lifted his sword again and started to wipe it gently.
"I agree with you. If my daughter were to marry him, she would surely be happy and adored."
Azimir's body relaxed the moment he heard Louis' reply and he perceived what the man was trying to do.. He was giving them his acceptance and blessing them, albeit using a strange method to state his thoughts.
