"King Brian, it's great to see you again,"Killian said with a serious look on his face but deep down, he wanted to run away and hide.He knew he was stronger than KingBrian but he knew that when it came to their emotions clashing, Killian would surely lose because he knew that it was his fault. Everything is his fault.King Brian looked at Killian while standing up to greet him along the way.King Brian didn't know what he should be feeling at the moment. The person in front of him is the reason why his daughter is gone."King Killian , you look well." He replied while shaking his hand.Black gulped because he could clearly feel the tension between them but he was doing his best not to show any kind of emotions that might be used against him or Killian." have been busy but I'm doing well,"Killian replied while motioning for them to take a seat.King Brian nodded and went back to his seat which was in front of Killian."You know my son, Elliot. I guess you can still remember him."
Amaya looked at Killian 's hesitation and she knew why but she wanted to show her possession. She wanted Ginni's family to know that Killian belongs to another now."I'm Killian 's fiance or soon to be mate. My name is Amaya ." Amaya said without a care in the world, proud and high.She doesn't even know what problem she caused by saying such things in front of Grayon's deceased mate's family."Mate? You're planning on mating again after what happened to my daughter?" King Brians asked after a few minutes of silence.Both father and son couldn't believe that Killian would even think about mating another woman after what happened. He must be crazy or he was obsessed with making women fall in love with him as some kind of pastime.Either way, they were not happy with this news."Yes, Killian and I will mate soon. In fact, you're invited King Briand and Prince Elliot." Amaya replied instead of Killian who was frozen in shock at Amaya 's sudden announcement.What the hell is she thinking?
"What the hell were you thinking?!"Killian shouted at the woman who was sitting down in front of him.He glared down at Amaya . Even if he didn't want to do it, he was so angry at the way she acted and behaved!"Do you know what you did?! All that talking led to nothing because you thought it was a good idea to run your mouth!" Killian continued while pacing continuously due to stress and anger."Gray, I didn't know that they would react that way. For all I know, they would be happy for you." Amaya said calmly but Killian and Black could tell that there was fear and regret in her voice."Happy? How the hell did you think that they would be happy knowing that I have replaced their daughter?"Killian asked incredulously.He truly couldn't understand why Amaya thought it was alright to tell all of that information to Ginni 's family knowing that they hated him for what happened to Ginni."Replaced? She died, Killian ! Of course, you can't continue longing for someone that's gone!" Amaya
"I mean, Ginni is not here anymore.So, if they attack us, they have nothing to lose. They won't even have to pay the debt if they place war on us." Killian said.His mind was running a mile per minute now. He was about to go crazy because this is something that he definitely did not expect to happen when he approached them to talk.Black nodded in agreement, "You're right about that. So, what do you suggest? Should we contact them again?"Killian looked at Black before nodding, "That would be the best idea but I'm scared that he won't accept our invitation to communicate.""I know they won't but the least we could do is try and hopefully, we will be lucky and they'll say yes," Black said while shaking his head.Killian sighed tiredly before looking back at Black , "Well, let me know when you get through them. I will make sure to go through it as soon as I can."Black nodded, "As you wish, Your Highness. What will we do if they say no?""I honestly don't know because I know that if th
"Don't you think you should tell your father about this?" Yifa asked with concern.Even if Killian decided not to tell him, it would be impossible to hide something so big.'I know I can't hide it forever but until I can, I don't want him knowing anything.1 don't want him to worry about it because it will only lead to a deterioration in his health." Killian replied.He knew that Yifa was right, he should tell his father about it but he was scared that if he said something, he might regret it.It was scary and uncertain which made it difficult for Killian to decide.Yifa nodded in understanding,"understand, Your Highness. But if you'd allow me to give you some advice, it would be better if it would come from you directly instead of hearing it from another person.""You're right. Right now, I'm just hoping that the people involved will know how to keep their mouth shut." Killian said while silently sending a wish to whoever is out there.Yifa giggled suddenly which caused Killian to lo
"Gray, what are you doing?" Amaya asked as soon as she entered the office where Killian was currently doing some work.Killian sighed tiredly because he was getting a headache from all the thinking he was doing. The event that happened a few days ago wouldn't leave his mind and it was the major cause of his stress.''m working. Do you need anything?"Killian asked while continuing to look at the paper in front of him.The fact that he was angry at Amaya is still there but he also felt guilty because it was his own action that led Amaya to say and do what she did.He assumed that Amaya said what she did because she was showing Ginni 's family that he was taken and that he had moved on from Ginni . Maybe, that was one of the ways Amaya was assuring her own self because of her insecurities.If Killian did better, Amaya will have no reasons to be insecure but at the same time, Killian can't give her what she wants.Killian feels scared that no matter how much he tries, it will never happe
"Black , make sure everything is settled within the day I don't want anybody working throughout the whole evening. That is not why we hired them." Killian ordered Black who was standing right in front of Killian.They were trying to establish the right time for each member of the royal knights to patrol the surrounding area for any suspicious identities or scents."Yes, Your Highness," Black said while nodding his head in agreement.Killian sighed tiredly, 'I'm sorry for being too harsh on this. I just... I can't get it out of my mind."Black stayed silent because he was the same. It's like every time he closes his eyes, he can see the body.The dead body of the wolf who was slaughtered on the outskirts of the kingdom.It was very sudden because the wolves were patrolling the area as usual when they suddenly smelt a scent that was gut-wrenching.A scent that they have never smelt before prompted them to look for the source, only to find the body of a little girl.Her body was ripped
"What's tomorrow?" Killian asked while trying to keep the conversation going because he can tell that Yifa wants to leave after declining her offer to go out.He would really love to go out with her but there is only so little time that he can spend doing something else aside from work.And he knew that this will not be the only time he can go out with her, there will be another time.Yifa looked up from her hands which were in her lap, "No, it's nothing. I just wanted to buy something."Killian tilted his head, "Buy something? You can tell me and III let someone buy it for you."Yifa smiled at Killian 's kind offer but she shook her head in disagreement, "No need, Your Highness. It's nothing too big.""If you're asking me to go out with you, it must be something important," Killian replied while looking at Yifa expectantly.Yifa looked away, "It's not that important. I just really wanted to go out."Killian pursued his lips because there it was again, the pinch in his heart while loo
