The lunch turned awkward all of a sudden with Caelan's departure and everyone lost their appetite. Even though Caelan had given the excuse of his work for him to leave midway, everyone understood that it was something else that had caused him to leave.
However, Azimir did not mind him leaving the table and he kept eating to his heart's content. He wanted to savor all his time with Aylin for he would be meeting her next after a long time. Just the thought of leaving Aylin all alone during this time when there was a masked man who was after her was enough to make him lose his temper.
Despite being assured that he would not hurt Aylin irrespective of the situation, he was still worried for her. Since the ability to appear and disappear any time he wanted, Azimir realized how unguarded Aylin was in front of the man. He could easily enter her room when she was asleep and could do anything to her.
Azimir's eyes blazed in fury when he thought about it and recalled the previous time when he had eavesdropped on her from his room. The man had conveniently entered her room and had spoken to her. Azimir did not know what else he had done and he did not wish to imagine it for he knew that he would only unleash his wrath right after.
Shaking his disturbing thoughts out of his mind, he started to enjoy his meal again and only stopped eating when all the food on his plate had been [rushed down his throat.
Aylin stood when the royal couple stood and deeming it was for her to leave, she kneeled in front of him, making Azimir scowl in annoyance again.
"Your Majesties, I will take my leave now. I have important matters to attend to."
Aylin had been sure that she could leave now and was prepared to flee from the place. But her plan failed completely the next instant.
"May I speak to you in private, Commander? I have something important to say."
Myron did not sense anything unusual from her words and he stood silently behind them.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Aylin reluctantly agreed and she followed the old woman, not daring to glance at Azimir who was still looking at her.
"Shall we move to the main hall, Alpha Azimir?" Myron waited until the two women were out of sight and the three remaining people in the dining hall returned to the main hall.
Now that they were all alone with the young Alpha, Josephine hinted at her father to bring up the matter. She had seen the look of appreciation her father had on his face after conversing to the young Alpha of Ideni and she understood that she had now gained his approval, unlike the previous day when he had strongly rejected her desire to marry him.
When Josephine had put forth her desire before him, her father had rejected it in an instant. He had not listened to any of her requests, nor did he budge when she had cried pitifully in front of him. He remained unfazed, and it was only when he saw how swollen her eyes had become after crying for a long time, he had finally decided to give her words a thought.
'Thank you, Father.' She beamed at her father and looked at the charming man she had come to like in just a day.
"Josephine, go change your dress. I do not want you to catch a cold and fall sick." Myron gave his daughter a look and Josephine understood him immediately.
"I will be right back, Father." With a nod and flashing a smile at the young Alpha, she left the two men alone, hoping that her father would be able to settle the matter for her.
Azimir did not show anything on his face. But his intuition told him what the wicked King wanted to speak about. Yet, he waited for the man to make a fool of himself. He wanted to see the man humiliate himself and Azimir smiled widely in expectation.
He despised the royal family for their two-faced behavior and he took it as a pleasure to annoy them and infuriate them. There was nothing more satisfying than ripping their arrogant faces and showing them what they truly deserved. It oddly excited him but not more than how he felt when he was with Aylin.
In front of her, all the members of the royal family resembled court jesters, one he kept for his amusement. Given an option, he would not even look at them when he could stare at his beautiful lady all day.
"Alpha, I had something important to speak to you." Myrin started, not knowing how to convey his thoughts.
Previously, it had been the other men who had come to ask for his daughter. Never had he taken the initiative to approach anyone for there had not been anyone his daughter had found herself worthy of. Even he had not found any of those men capable of being with his daughter and had rejected him without seeking his daughter's opinion.
Now that they had someone who both approved, he had to stake a claim on the man before anyone else did. Yet, when the time came for him to express his wishes, he found himself tongue-tied and unable to articulate properly.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Please tell me." Azimir waited for the man to start and folded his hands. Even though he was just an Alpha and the man in front of him was the Alpha King, he looked more intimidating and powerful. The aura around him was stronger than that of the old King's and Erik and Gregory who were making their way inside the hall were beyond stunned to see this situation.
Alpha Azimir looked majestic and the king while King Myron looked like a peasant as he fidgeted in his seat. The difference in their temperament made them realize how much of a failure Alpha King Myron was and they felt insulted to have served such an unworthy man all these years.
Erik cursed their fate and hoped for the situation to change after the contest. They did not have any favorable impression of their prince. Though he was capable, he was no way as formidable as the young Alpha of Ideni.
Azimir was the first to notice the two men and he let out a sigh. They had come right at the time when the old King was about to reveal his intentions.
'What impeccable timing! I wonder how Sir Erik and Sir Gregory found out that their King is about to humiliate himself. Are they here to join the fun?' Azimir mocked the old King in his mind. 'Too bad. The King now would not speak his mind in the presence of an audience. How disappointing!'
Azimir leaned back on the couch, losing all his interest. 'On second thought, it is not bad to have been interrupted either. The more I delay this matter, the more anxious the royal family will become. It would be worth the wait if the impact would be huge and brilliant. Alpha Myron, I hope you will live up to my expectations when we face the same situation in the future. I will anticipate it.'
Azimir hid his evil smile and turned towards the two men who were still standing in their places.
"Sir Erik and Sir Gregory. Are you here to meet His Majesty?" Azimir's loud voice brought the three men out of their thoughts and Myron had finally, mustered all his courage was startled to find the two men gawking at him.
Even Gregory and Erik were startled at being addressed so loudly. They could not understand the meaning behind the smile the young Alpha of Ideni was giving them as they started to walk towards their King.
But what shocked them more was how their King's face blackened in fury as he glared at them and the two men frowned at him, not caring how rude their behavior was. The moment they had seen the difference in the aura around the two men, they had already given up respecting their King. The man was undeserving of it anyway.
Nevertheless, they still kneeled on one knee in front of him and offered their greetings.
Again, Azimir was dissatisfied and he frowned on seeing the two capable men kneeling in front of such an unworthy man. Yet, he could do nothing about it.
The first rule he decided to implement when he became the Alpha King was to abolish this practice. he loathed such practices which depicted subordination. He did not mind people bowing at him in respect. But kneeling was not something he could tolerate.
"Why are you two here?" Myron spat at the two men who had interrupted his chance to speak to the young Alpha. This was his opportunity and once the man departed for Ideni, he could only wait until the contest formally started before he could speak to him again.
Stunned by his outburst, the two men gave their King a suspicious look. Even Azimir was surprised to hear him shout and gave him a satirical look. The man did not know how to control his emotions. Nevertheless, his children are so outrageous. He thought.
He glanced at the two men who had no idea why the King had even lost his temper with them and pitied them for being at the receiving end of the King's wrath.
"Speak." Myron almost roared and Gregory started speaking, trying to ignore the man's unfair treatment. Anyway, he would soon not be the Alpha King.
"Your Majesty, we are here on your orders to report the gruesome incident that happened at Commander Aylin's manor."
