Myron bit his tongue in embarrassment. He now remembered that he had asked the two men to report to him all that happened at Commander Aylin's manor. But he had not mentioned the date or the timing and had cited it casually in front of all the people, to show his kind side to everyone and create an even more favorable impression of him in their minds.

He had never expected the men to arrive the moment he had gathered his courage to speak to the Alpha of Ideni about his daughter and the men had arrived right on time to interrupt him. What impeccable timing!

Myron's fury surfaced when he heard the men and he glanced at the young Alpha who had a stronger presence than he did and felt insulted to see the mirth in his eyes. They were gleaming in strange cunningness, one which he could not understand and he pursed his lips in dismay.

"Sir Gregory, Sir Erik, I am currently entertaining a guest. I would speak to you about this matter later." Myron controlled his rage and donned an amicable expression. 

But Azimir saw right through his facade. The man was being careful in front of him so as to not raise suspicions. Moreover, the warriors were not ordinary humans. They were the Knight Commanders in the army and were just below the Commander. Insulting them or punishing them for a no fault of theirs would only destroy the image he had created over the years.

In just one day, Azimir's had learned the truth, one that the world had no idea about. Just like others, he too had assumed the royal family to be generous and just. Who knew that it was all a facade they had put up in front of the world?

Azimir sneered and folded his hands, making a decision to deal with him after the contest. Alpha King Myron was now the most powerful man in the world and even if he had the ability to handle him and punish him for all that he had done, Azimir was nothing but an Alpha and King of a small kingdom and unless he got the support of the other Alphas, he could not dethrone the man.

'I am sure no one would agree to unmask the man's true character in front of the world.' Azimir eyed the man, starting to conspire against him in his mind. 'Moreover, it would only delay the contest and until his crimes are proven, nobody would be allowed to rule over Aranill and occupy the throne.'

Azimir's brows deepened as he placed his hand below his chin, his gaze deep in thought. Erik had been sneaking glances at the young man and he noticed him in a daze. Yet, there was anger radiating off him and he wondered what had irked the man now.

Since the time he had joined the royal army, he had met a lot of Alphas and Betas and even the previous Alpha King who had been on the throne then. But none among them had the temperament the young man on the couch had. He could sense a strong aura of formidability from him. His imposing eyes, commanding stature and daunting personality made him the best man to be on the throne.

Erik suddenly wanted the time to reach the day when Alpha Azimir would be coronated as the King, the King of the Alphas as well as the world. It would be a sight to behold and Erik promised to dedicate his life and loyalty to him if that were to happen.

Unlike Myron who was greedy and vile, the young Alpha of Ideni was a rightful king. Though he was cold and imposing, he still cared for his subjects and treated them well. All the people of Ideni genuinely respected him from the bottom of their hearts and their admiration was never superficial.

Erik took another glance at Azimir before he returned his attention to the Alpha King who was still glaring at them for reasons unknown. But what annoyed him more was that they were still kneeling and the man was yet to accept their greetings.

Gregory too was done respecting the man. He had never felt this disgusted by anyone till then and he did not wish to stay in the same room as the man who did know how to respect others. So what if he was the Alpha King? Time was changing and soon he would have to abdicate the throne.

Gregory only wished for a better man to occupy the throne, one who was not as selfish as the man in front of him.

"Your Majesty, we apologize for interrupting your conversation." Gregory bowed at him and stood up at once and Erik followed suit. Neither man cared that their behavior was utterly discourteous to the throne nor did they care if they had appeared mannerless.

Their King had humiliated them and the two upright and prideful men could not tolerate it. Moreover, this time he had crossed his lines first for shouting at them in front of their guest. 

"Do you think we will be implicated, Sir Erik?" Gregory only realized what he had done after leaving the palace and returned to the arena. All of a sudden, he started to regret what he had done in a fit of his anger. If not for him, Erik would not have fallen in trouble.

"I am not sure, Sir Gregory. Even if we do, I do not care. You were amazing." Erik praised and Gregory let out a chuckle in awkwardness.

"I thought you would be furious, Erik."

"Why? Did you do something that would infuriate me?"

Gregory stayed silent and Erik perceived what he was trying to say. 

"If you talking about what transpired in the main hall, then you are not at fault. You never were. It was the mad king who was rude to us first." Erik reasoned and Gregory beamed at him, glad that his friend had not misunderstood his intentions.

"Why is His Majesty so vexed today? Though he has never respected us, he at least maintained a cordial smile when he was with us. What happened for him to lose control?" Erik continued to walk towards the arena while Gregory accompanied him as he started to contemplate the reason behind the old king's outburst.

"Does it have anything to do with the young Alpha of Ideni?"

"Why do you think so, Gregory?" Erik halted in his place and recalled the strange expression on Alpha Azimir's face back then.

"Did you not notice how His Majesty was being all jittery in front of the young man? Was he trying to speak something to him when we interrupted him right at this time?"

"This might be the reason. Otherwise, why would His Majesty lose his temper and lash out at us for no fault of ours?"

"Erik, I had always felt that our Alpha King was the most intimidating man in the world. But.." Gregory stopped suddenly and his expression changed.

"But?"

"Nothing. Sir Erik, Commander Aylin has assigned us to overlook the safety of all the guests during the contest. We need to start assigning the warriors their positions. Shall we leave?"

Erik could not fathom why Gregory had changed the topic all of a sudden. Yet, he did not question him for the palace was not a safe place and they had to be wary of their surroundings.

The two men quietly left the place and immediately after, a young man peeked from behind the pillar. His lips formed a thin line before he came to stand in the front.

"What was Sir Gregory trying to say? Why did he change the topic?" He wondered. "Did he find out I was here?"His frown deepened before his face relaxed. "That cannot be. I made sure to stay hidden from his sight." The man eventually gave up thinking about it and clutched his scabbard tight, his eyes flashing in evilness and greed.

"I need to find out what they were speaking. This is my only chance to get promoted and once the Alpha King changes, I will have to start from the bottom again." He shook his head at the thought and gazed with determination in his eyes. "I will not give up all that I have achieved and let my efforts go into vain.. I need to find a way to get my wish fulfilled."
