Erik's lips twitched in wonder when the Alpha King was rendered speechless by the young man in front of him. It was the first time that he was seeing someone handle his arrogant King this brilliantly and for this alone, Erik had an intense urge to kneel in front of the young Alpha and praise him.

Erik had seen King Myron exhibiting his dominance at every possible attempt, showing the people who held the absolute power. Though he did not ill-treat his people like his daughter, Princess Josephine who was rude to everyone who she deemed to be unworthy of her attention, he did not hesitate to instill fear for himself in the minds of the people either. 

Now that there was someone who did not cower in his presence nor did he hesitate to speak his mind to him, Erik was more than impressed and he appreciated Azimir in his mind. The man was really a wonder and he was delighted that he was with Aylin in such a critical situation. He sure was worthy of being the most feared Alpha in the world.

"You humor me, Alpha Azimir." Myron chuckled all of a sudden and Erik stifled a smile on seeing his King failing to hide his embarrassment and humiliation.

Though Erik respected his King, it was the power he held over him that he admired more. If not for the throne the man had occupied, Erik would not have cared much about him. 

Azimir remained silent, allowing the Alpha King to hide his embarrassment behind his smile.

"Where you are residing currently, Alpha?" Myron changed the topic deftly and none of the men missed the strange gleam in his eyes. 

"I am staying at Sir Erik's house, Your Majesty," Azimir replied and Erik had the sudden urge to run away from the room when he saw the look the Alpha King had given him. It was as though the man wanted to rip his head off for even thinking of providing residence to Alpha Azimir.

"Why did you not visit us the moment you arrived in Aranill, Alpha?" Myron looked at him keenly. Again, he did not notice any sense of dread or worry in Azimir and he scowled in his mind for his failed attempt.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I arrived here some time late at night and I did not wish to disturb you or anyone in the royal family at such a time. So, I stayed at Sir Erik's manor." Azimir conveniently twisted the truth, making Erik shake his head internally.

'Why did I not know that Alpha Azimir was this brazen and wicked?' He wondered. 

"Well, I am glad that you were able to find a place to stay for the night. Sir Erik," King Myron's daunting voice brought Erik out of his thoughts. But oddly, he did not fear him. Instead, he gazed at him calmly as he waited for his orders.

"You will be rewarded pleasantly for taking good care of our guest." Myron forced the words out and Azimir's lips curved up. Erik too was exhilarated and he kneeled on one knee at once.

"Your Majesty, thank you very much for your graciousness. Alpha Azimir is our important guest and it is my duty to cater to his needs." 

Erik was still in disbelief to think that his King had decided to reward him for this had never happened before with anyone. He had not praised anyone wholeheartedly, let alone reward them. Now that he was being generous with him, Erik did not hesitate to grab the opportunity to be rewarded. Alpha Azimir had truly stunned again.

Myron was taken aback by Erik's words and he sneered in his mind. But he did not show his thoughts on his face. He stood up suddenly and pushed his robes behind him, adjusting his attire for a moment.

"Would you mind having a walk with me, Alpha Azimir? I have an important matter to discuss with you in private." Myron glanced at Erik, who understood his intentions right away and he took a step back immediately. 

"I will take my leave now, Your Majesty." Erik bowed at his King before he turned to the young man beside him.  "I will be in the arena behind the palace if you need me, Alpha Azimir."

"Thank you, Sir Erik." Azimir smiled at him in gratitude before he followed the old King Myron out of the courtroom.

Nobody spoke a word as Myron led Azimir out of the palace towards the garden and Azimir followed him quietly, keeping his eyes and ears open for danger. He had sensed hostility from the Alpha King and he realized that his previous words had irked him more than he had thought. 

'The Alpha King is too easy to agitate.' Azimir thought to himself, surprised at how easy the man was. He was wise but foolish at the same time and Azimir wondered how he was able to defeat everyone before he ascended the throne. He certainly was unworthy of it.

The guards bowed at their King and their guest as soon as they saw them. While Myron continued walking without any expression, Azimir nodded at them curtly, surprising them by accepting their silent greetings. In an instant, his impression in their minds turned favorable and they smiled to themselves, honored by his kind and thoughtful gesture.

Myron led Azimir towards the farther end of the lawn where not many guards were present. When he did not sense anyone's presence he stopped walking and faced Azimir, his scrunched up, lost in thoughts.

"Alpha Azimir, I have always wanted to meet you." He started and Azimir narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering where this was going. "Your formidability is not a secret and everyone who meets you sings praises about you. I have always wondered if it was an exaggeration. But now I realized that it was the truth. You sure are worthy of the praises."

Azimir raised an eyebrow, finding the situation to be ridiculous. He should have been flattered by the King's praises. But all he felt was suspicions. He had only met the King today and just based on his short observation, King Myron had concluded him to be praiseworthy when Azimir had not shown his skills in front of him at all. 

'How strange!' He wondered and waited for the man to get to the actual point. He had to be harboring some intentions behind bringing him here.

"Father," Before he could put forth his words, Myron was interrupted and he almost glared at his daughter who had stopped him suddenly.

Azimir stifled a laugh on seeing the man's hilarious expression. But soon, his brows narrowed as he stared at the man.

'Definitely, whatever Alpha King wanted to speak must not be a pleasant matter, one that would be unfavorable to me. Otherwise, he would not have been this unsettled and annoyed at being uninterrupted. But what does he want of me?' Azimir pondered.

'I need to be careful of him too. He has cruel intentions in mind and I just hope he will not use me to achieve what he wants.. Else, Alpha King or not, I will not let him go.'
