Silence filled the room as everyone was shocked by Azimir's brazenness. Not only had he indirectly mocked the Alpha King, but he had also declared himself to be his successor to the throne, even before the contest had actually started. No one could fathom what the man was thinking while he had revealed his intentions out in the open, challenging everyone to defeat him.

Myron scowled when he realized what the man was doing. But he did not doubt him at all. The Alpha of Ideni was one of the two Alphas who he deemed was capable of winning the contest. Instinctively, he glanced at his son who had his eyes narrowed as he stared at Azimir and he shook his head. Caelan was not the one among the two and just the thought of him losing his authority over the throne completely made Myron kill someone.

Since his wishes to see his son occupying the throne after him would never be fulfilled, especially when a man like Azimir was contesting with him, he had to choose another path to be in power and immediately after, his eyes turned to his daughter, Josephine, who just like his son, had her eyes fixed on the man beside her.

However, unlike Caelan, Josephine's eyes were sparkling with intense admiration and obsession and Myron found the sight to be oddly comforting.

'Why did I not realize before that the young Alpha of Ideni and Josephine look so compatible with each other?' He wondered and darted his eyes back and forth at them, visualizing the future in front of him.

Myron smiled widely, satisfied with his daughter's choice. 'So what if I cannot be the father of the next Alpha King? Being the father-in-law of the next Alpha King does not sound bad either.' He thought and nodded to himself, conjuring a plan to bring the young Alpha of Ideni and his daughter together.

Azimir sensed the wicked King's strange eyes on him and he turned to him with his brows raised. The old man's face was quite expressive and Azimir could decipher what he was plotting just by one look. He glimpsed at Josephine before his eyes went back to Aylin and his lips arched up faintly, amused by the misconception the father and the daughter were having. Yet, he did not break their fantasy and sat still, allowing them to fall deeper into their delusion. They would only make it easier for him to deal with them when the time was correct.

Aylin fidgeted in her seat, unable to stand Azimir's intense gaze on her. It was too strong to ignore and she pushed back a strand of her hair in her nervousness. She lowered her eyes and bent her body until she was almost slouching. But the moment she did so, she realized how meek and timid she looked, contradicting her character. 

'Aylin, what are you doing?' She scolded herself and frowned lightly, unable to believe the effect Azimir was having on her. 'This is not you. You do not have to be nervous in his presence. Be yourself, he cannot influence you.' She thought and closed her eyes.

Taking a deep breath, she opened her eyes, this time not at all jittery or uncomfortable. She pushed her body back and leaned on the chair, exuding a sense of independence and superiority. She did not even budge when she saw Azimir raising his eyes at her as stared back at him with challenging eyes.

'Ah, what do I do?' Azimir sighed lightly. 'Now I want to kiss Aylin all the more.' His eyes dropped to her lips, and right at this moment as though she was trying to tempt him, Aylin licked her lips, moistening them and making them resemble rose petals covered in droplets of water.

Azimir's eyes darkened in desire and he clenched his fists as he controlled himself from storming over and claiming those supple lips that were too irresistible and capable of evoking strong waves of desire in him.

Dorothy had not missed the obvious attraction between the Alpha of Ideni and Aylin and she blinked at them in surprise. Since the time they had taken their seats, the young Alpha's gaze had been fixed on Aylin. She had seen his fondness for her in his grey eyes, not once trying to suppress them. 

Meanwhile, though Aylin did not look at him in the eye until a few moments ago, she could still notice her strange behavior and Dorothy smiled faintly when she understood all that was happening here.

Dorothy had already seen how beautiful the couple looked when they stood together and now that they had feelings for each other, she was happy for them and blessed them sincerely in her heart.

"Alpha Azimir, it must have been tough to take over Ideni at such a young age immediately after your parents passed away." Caelan started as he twisted the ring on his left index finger. "It truly is commendable that you were able to handle the matters with such finesse and poise. Do you not think so, Mother?"

While Myron did not find anything odd in his son's question, Dorothy frowned at her son in displeasure. She could not comprehend what he was trying to do by bringing up old wounds, especially when more than a decade had passed since Azimir took over the throne of Ideni.

Though she wanted to reprimand her son, she bit her lip, unable to scold him in front of Aylin and Azimir. She glared at him which Caelan completely ignored and smiled at Azimir as though he was praising him sincerely.

"I appreciate you for your kind words, Prince Caelan. It was all thanks to my father that I was able to take over Ideni and handle all the matters easily. Since I was destined to be the Alpha and King of Ideni, he had made sure to train me well and instill in me the knowledge and wisdom required of me to be the King." Though Azimir was discreet, nobody missed the meaning behind his words and Caelan's smile faltered. He almost glared at him for his blunt remarks. 

Even Myron could not maintain his composure and his face darkened when he heard the pride in Azimir's tone. He realized that the young man was rebuking him indirectly for not teaching his son well and the thought of Azimir insulting him in front of his family and an outsider, did not sit well with him. But he could not lose his temper either. For his daughter and his dream, he had to bear with him for the time being.

"Your father, Alpha Roland was an honorable man, Alpha Azimir. It was my luck that I was able to meet him once." Dorothy eased the tension a little and again, Azimir questioned in his mind how this kind woman ended up with a man like Myron. 

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am honored too to be able to meet a lady like you." He made sure only to praise the Queen, sparing the other three members of the royal family. Azimir was not a man who fawned over others, even if he was the Alpha King himself. He had nothing to do with him and since he had not insulted them openly, they could not get back at him either. 

Myron could only smile stiffly while Caelan's eyes were blazing with rage. Even Josephine felt disheartened by his behavior.

"Well, thank you. Your parents have taught you well, Alpha."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Azimir decided to give them some time to breathe and focus on Aylin. She had been sitting silent for a long time and Azimir wanted to hear her a pleasing voice.

"Commander Aylin, I have a question to ask you. May I?" Azimir directed everyone's attention on her and Aylin who was getting bored by the mind game the others were playing stiffened on hearing him address her. 

Wondering what the man was up to now, she nodded at him. She did not have any choice either. 

"What is your opinion about marriage?"
