Azimir stared at himself in the mirror as he buttoned his coat. A noticeable smirk was dancing on his lips as he adjusted his attire. Though Aylin's words had hurt him, it was her indifferent conduct towards him that had surprised him more, arising his suspicions in the meanwhile.
Every word she had said, every look she had given him was meant to drive him away from her. If not for her secret apology in the end after he departed from her room, Azimir certainly would be still dejected by her sudden cold and rude actions.
Her soft apology had smothered all his grievances and he was now determined to find the truth behind her sudden shift in personality. Aylin was strong and confident and had always been this way. But in just one night, she had turned reticent, isolating herself from everyone who cared about her. Though she was polite with everyone, she kept a distance from them as though she was wary about something.
"Aylin," He smiled widely, his eyes gleaming in cunning delight. "You may try as much as you want. But I, Azimir, Alpha of Ideni, will never allow you to leave me." He lifted his head, faith and courage dripping in his eyes. "I can sense your true feelings behind your mask and I will unveil them one day. You will just have to wait for me."
Aylin was in no state to listen to him and Azimir understood that it would be a futile attempt to speak to her. He had to think of other ways to coax her and force her to let go of her inhibitions. If she needed time, time was what he would give her along with his sincerity and devotion.
The appearance of the Alpha of Ideni had spread all over Aranill and everyone was speaking about him. While the ones who had seen him in the morning, discussed how intimidating yet charming he was, the others who did not know how he looked kept contemplating it secretly. Everybody wanted to see him and find out if he was as exactly as others described him to be.
Erik accompanied Azimir as they rode towards the palace to greet the Alpha King. Since the man had resided in his house the previous night, it now came upon him to introduce him to his King. On his way, Erik observed the way the people were trying to peek at the man beside him.
Erik smiled at their inquisitive nature and since the Alpha himself had not stopped them, he stayed silent as well. Every few moments, he kept glancing at the young man beside him, observing his expressions with questioning eyes. He did not realize how strange he was behaving, just like how the people on the streets had come out to see the man who had appeared in Aranill unannounced.
"Is something the matter, Sir Erik?" Azimir queried when he could not tolerate the man's gaze on him anymore. He did not mind the curious eyes of the people on him but the old man's odd actions made him uncomfortable.
"Yes, Alpha." Erik blurted out without thinking before the realization hit him and he averted his gaze away in embarrassment. He bit his tongue, cursing himself for his lack of attention.
"What is troubling you, Sir Erik?" Azimir ignored his awkward manners and took his acceptance seriously. "Is it something about me?"
"Please pardon me for my impudence, Alpha, but I would wish to know the reason behind your change in demeanor." Erik did not hold back, his curiosity getting the best of him. He wanted to know what had transpired for the young Alpha to be in such a cordial mood when just the previous night he seemed too overwhelmed with grief and anxiety.
Azimir flashed a mysterious smile at him, baffling the old man all the more. "Let us just say it is a good day today."
Azimir raised his head and stared at the pleasant sky and Erik followed suit, not understanding what the man was trying to convey. It sure was a great day. The sun was shining brightly in the sky and the cool breeze kept one refreshed at all times. The weather was perfect but the situation was not.
No one was in the mood to enjoy the delightful morning for they were still terrified. The aftermath of the horrifying incident was too strong to forget about it this quickly.
Erik wanted him to elaborate. But to his dismay, they had reached the palace gates and he could not speak about the matter anymore for the time being.
The two men rode their horses inside the palace premises and stopped when they were right at the entrance. The stableman helped them with their horses while Erik and Azimir entered the palace.
While Erik approached one of the guards, Azimir looked around, taking in the elegance and magnificence of the place. Every part of the palace depicted glory and grandness and Azimir smiled to himself when he recalled what he had promised to Aylin before she had departed to Aranill.
Azimir studied the paintings of the Alpha Kings who had ruled over the world over the years and he smiled when he recognized one man he was familiar with, his great grandfather, one whose painting was still hung in his castle.
"Alpha Azimir, please follow me to the throne room." Erik interrupted his thoughts and Azimir glanced at his great grandfather's portrait before he followed him. On his way, he examined the palace, admiring the grandeur to his heart's content.
The throne room was empty and two guards were standing behind the throne motionlessly. Azimir and Erik did not have to wait long for King Myron entered the throne room barely a few moments after. He occupied his throne with pride and vigor and he smiled at Azimir, concealing his true self expertly.
"I, Azimir, Alpha of Ideni offer you my greetings, Your Majesty." Azimir bowed at him and Myron's smile widened.
"Your Majesty," Erik kneeled on one knee as he waited for the man to accept his greeting.
"Alpha Azimir, welcome to Aranill and you may rise Sir Erik." Myron nodded at Erik before he turned his gaze to Azimir. "I never knew you would be coming here, Alpha. I never received a message about it."
"Please forgive me for my impertinence and for arriving here unannounced. If not matters that required my immediate attention, I would not have hurried here without informing about it." Azimir was calm, too calm for Myron's liking and he leaned forward as he scrutinized the young Alpha of Ideni.
"May I know what the reason for your sudden visit is?" Myron probed, not caring that he was crossing his boundaries by asking a personal question. "If I am not wrong and my mind has not failed me, you do not have anyone here for you to come here in a haste."
Azimir stifled a smile, expecting such a question from the cunning old man. He had already prepared himself for what was about to come the moment he entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, I did not have anyone I was familiar with in Aranill a few days ago. But now I do." Azimir twisted his words, not answering the man directly, making him raise his brows in interest.
"Please enlighten me, Alpha Azimir."
"I have Sir Erik. I have known him for a few days and we now get along quite well." Azimir glanced at the man who was standing a step behind him. He did not miss the expression of shock on his face and his lips ached up for a moment, enjoying the plight he had put the two men into.
"Besides, I am also familiar with Sir Gregory." Azimir continued and Myron blinked at him, wondering what the young Alpha was doing.
"I am yet to find out the reason why you were here, Alpha." He picked up the initial topic again and smiled in triumph when Azimir remained silent for a few moments. An odd sensation of achievement replaced his annoyance when he trapped Azimir successfully.
Unlike the other Alphas who feared him every time in his presence, the young Alpha of Ideni did show any traces of panic in front of him. He could not even detect any signs of being cautious or terrified from his temperament. Azimir was composed and placid, his calmness irking Myron to no extent and wounding his pride as the Alpha King.
"This is a matter I would like to keep a secret for the time being, Your Majesty. When the time is right, you will find out on your own."
Azimir did not wish to malign Aylin's name by revealing his actual reasons for being here. She was already in distress and he did not desire to add more to her misery. Moreover, other than the two warriors who had accompanied Aylin in the graveyard and the lady who had catered for Aylin, nobody knew his intentions, and from their actions the past few days, Azimir discerned that they too would not want to harm Aylin by disclosing the truth. He was certain about it.
"I assure you, Your Majesty. My matters are not of much importance."
Myron narrowed his gaze as he stared at Azimir who was looking at him confidently. He could not discern the young man's thoughts whatsoever, frustrating him as time passed. But he could not probe further into it either. He had his right to privacy and Aranill was free land. There was no rule that Azimir had to report his reasons for his visit. Being a subject under him, Azimir had to liberty to visit the kingdom any time he wanted.
For the first time in his life, Myron felt defeated. Azimir had rendered him speechless by twisting his words on him, making him feel like a loser.. An intense hatred filled his heart and despite this being their first time meeting each other, he found the man irritating and resentful.
