"Father," Josephine greeted her father before her gaze fell on the unfamiliar man and her eyes sparkled on seeing him. He was one of the most charming men she had ever seen and her heart skipped a beat immediately. Her cheeks flushed pink in excitement and she lowered her head bashfully.

But neither man noticed her dazed expression. While Myron was annoyed at his daughter for interrupting his talk with Azimir, Azimir was more involved in finding his amusement in catching the myriad of mirthful expressions that kept passing on the Alpha King's face.

To Azimir, he did not look like a dignified Alpha King at all. Instead, he resembled the court jester who was here to make everyone laugh. The man did not have the aura of the King at all, not in front of his at least and Azimir started to doubt his credibility as the King again. 

Josephine turned to her father, hoping for him to introduce the dazzling man to her. But all she saw was him glowering at her, his eyes blazing in fury. She took a step back in apprehension, stunned by the ferocious look on her father for the first time. 

Josephine had never been on the receiving end of such an expression and her first thoughts were to run away from her father, who seemed to be on the verge of unleashing his wrath on her. But she stopped herself when she saw the unfamiliar man again. His presence assured her slightly. With him around, her father would never reprimand her openly.

'But what was my mistake?' She wondered and bit her lip, putting on a pitiful expression and Myron's gaze softened on seeing his beloved daughter's saddening face. He realized immediately what he had done and he closed his eyes to suppress his fury. When he finally calmed down, he opened his eyes again and smiled at his daughter fondly.

Nothing missed Azimir's eyes. Yet, he did not show any emotion on his face, waiting for the Alpha King to start with his act. He tilted his head, mirth brimming in his eyes when he saw the man turn to him with pride.

"Alpha Azimir, this is my daughter, Josephine." He introduced. "And Josephine, this is Azimir Bhaltiar, the Alpha of Ideni."

"Greetings, Princess Josephine." 

Josephine held out her glove clad hand and Azimir accepted it with a smile. Nobody noticed that he did not actually kiss her hand and it was all an act.

Josephine was too lost in admiring Azimir that she did not sense anything amiss while her father was smiling widely in pride. He was more focused on his daughter than anything else.

Josephine's heart fluttered in excitement and reluctantly, she retrieved her hand. She smiled brightly at him, putting on a coy expression. But Azimir ignored her and focused on the Alpha King.

"Your Majesty, you were speaking something." He prompted and glanced at the lady beside him, only to find her flashing her smile at him.

Azimir frowned at her expression. Yet, he did not comment about it and waited for the King to speak. But all he got was silence. King Myron's smile faltered and he pursed his lips slightly.

"We can speak about it some other time, Alpha Azimir."

'As expected, he is unwilling to speak in front of his daughter. But why?' He wondered and look back and forth between the father and the daughter with a mysterious smile on his family.

"How long will you be staying here, Alpha Azimir?"

Myron inquired and Josephine looked at the young Alpha expectantly as they waited for his reply, each having different reasons behind finding the answer to the question. 

"I am not sure, Your Majesty. I will leave the moment my work is done."

When they did not get a definite answer from him, both the father and the daughter gave him a look, one which Azimir was all too familiar with. While Josephine wanted him to stay longer in Aranill, Myron wanted him gone as quickly as possible. The young Alpha's presence was a threat to him and he had no idea why he felt this way.

"Alpha Azimir, since you are a guest at Aranill, it is our duty to take care of you."

Azimir discerned what she was going to say next and he folded his hands behind his back, not even caring that this action of his made him more intimidating than the Alpha King. Even though he a mere Alpha, in the eyes of others, he was more striking and domineering than Alpha King Myron. The young man's temperament was too intense and compelling.

Myron was oblivious to the man's effect but Josephine was not. She had sensed the difference long ago and her heart thumped madly when the desire to make him hers erupted in her mind. 

"Yes, yes, Alpha Azimir." Myron continued, stopping his daughter from speaking any further. He did not clarify what he wanted of him, allowing Azimir to conjure the meaning behind his words on his own.

Josephine's idea did not seem bad to him. If Azimir were to stay in the palace, he could keep an eye on him and find out the reason behind his unexpected visit. 

"I am honored the have His Majesty and Princess Josephine caring for me. I find myself fortunate to have the royal family care for me." Though he was flattering them with praises, he was secretly hiding the disgust he felt for them. It did not take him long to realize what their intentions were.

"But who told I am a guest here, Princess Josephine?" Azimir questioned and an ominous feeling emerged in Myron's heart.

"I am King Myron's subject. He is my King. Does that not mean that I am free to do as I please here? Does Aranill not belong to me?"

"Yes, Alpha Azimir. You are right. Aranill is yours." Josephine nodded at him before Myron could stop her. This was the second time he was furious with her.

Myron gave Azimir an observant eye. He could not comprehend the underlying meaning behind his words and he felt himself at a loss.

Again, Azimir controlled his laughter on seeing the confused expression on King Myron's face. 

'As expected of an idiot.. Ignorant and foolish.'
