AUTHORESS' POV Seneca did as he promised Miquel. He traced Oscar and Demetrius was right. They have secret armies located in the woods. Oscar looked back, perceiving a strange presence in the woods, and Seneca quickly hid behind a tree. “It might have been ages, but you think I won't recognize your scent?” He folded his hands, expecting his old friend to show himself. “Do you have a death wish? You came into these woods alone.” Seneca cleared his throat nervously. “What happened to you? What joy do you deprive in working with someone like that old man?” Seneca raised his voice, but Oscar pinned him to a tree, covering his mouth. “He was the only option I had years ago, and my loyalty is pledged to him. The soldiers here are merciless, you had better keep it down.” He scoffed and released him. “I know, they are merciless wolves like Casino. Wolves trained by you.” “I will let you go today as an old friend. I won't be lenient on you if this happens again.
“Icarus?” I was really astonished. He played the game of framing me up. The fight continued fiercely, and he used his sword to loosen up my impractical and inner robe. I tried to maintain my beating heart and mind linked Demetrius. He became distracted in the process and a sword was slashed into his hands. He groaned softly and pulled me slightly avoiding Icarus from seeing my true identity. We stared at the rest of the swordsmen. Icarus screamed to hit us with the sword, but someone came to our rescue. “Your Majesty, are you alright?” It was Oscar, Demetrius' father. “Get his Majesty to a safe place.” “Yes, Father.” Demetrius nodded, but I stopped him. I hid my face in his chest and tied back my robes. Icarus started running away fearfully. “I need to follow him, he is hiding something.” I moved, but Demetrius stopped me. “I will be fine, you can support your father in fighting the remaining accomplice of Icarus.” I patted his back and started running back
MIQUEL'S POV I stared at the men who were willing to fight for their country. I'm really impressed with their responses. They are not afraid of death, but will fight until their last drop of blood. Demetrius insisted that he would teach them archery today, and I just stood there watching every batch's moves. My ears were bleeding already with the compliments the court ladies were giving Demetrius. “He is so hot, just look at his accurate movements,” “His body is so well built and his voice, oh my goodness.”"I should join the afternoon shift from now on." I sighed and pulled an arrow with a bow, directing it to where they were standing. The bowed fearfully. “You all should disperse!” I commanded, and they left hurriedly.. “You do know how to let ladies hearts flutter for you, don't you? They even call you the 'hottie' huh.” He cracked in laughter and I frowned at him. “What? That's not true, Your Majesty.” He cleared his throat. “You just finished w
MIQUEL'S POV “How I wish all this was just a terrible nightmare I could wake up from!” I blew a fuse. How can bad people end up being part of my family? Am I that unfortunate? “Aren't you happy to see your great-grandfather?” Is he pulling my legs right now? I glared daggers at him. “Happy? Today is a deplorable day. You have been such an unfortunate and awful great-grandfather and I loathe you.” I spat out at him, but he didn't seem bothered. “My aim back then was to…” “I would rather not hear whatever your aim is. That doesn't change the fact that my precious grandfather died in the war between humans and wolves. If you hadn't shape-shifted, the war would have been prevented.” he adjusted himself uncomfortably. “Now that you know, you need to follow my orders and don't cross me. You don't want to see my wrath, do you? Just lie low.” he grinned, combing his grey hair. “Escort Premier Casino to his residence right now.” I gritted my teeth at him and the
MIQUEL'S POV“So you indeed sent a poisonous mannequin to kill prince Emmett.” I stared at Minister Theon coldly. He adjusted his uncomfortable self on the floor.“What…your Majesty… I have no idea of…”“What I'm talking about? Do you have a death wish? Oh, you've watched many criminals being tortured in the investigation bureau, you should know how it feels or what's your thought?” I stood up.“No, your Majesty! I have committed a mortal sin. Please have mercy, your Majesty!” He bowed, hitting his head on the floor continuously.“Pardon? You've done so many evil things in this capital. You massacred many innocent souls. You joined hands with Premier Casino to murder the late king, but now you want mercy? Unfortunately, my mood tonight isn't that of mercy, but Justice! Icarus is gone and you are the next. I promised father to get rid of all of you. Lock him up.” I ignored his pleas as royal guards took him away.***“I will be able to sleep peacefully now, your wish will be fully gran
MIQUEL'S POV “How is this possible?” I stared at the floor sadly and confused. I faced Minister Theon bravely. “Do you want to know how funny this is? Alright, Theon, permit me to show you.” “Jason once said your birth brought nothing but chaos. Do you think Premier Casino will spare you for humiliating him like that?” He scoffed. I'm so pained right now, and my next action will not be that of a king, but of a young girl who was separated from her parents because of dumbasses like Theon. I smiled at him icily and faced the crowd. “Gather round, everyone, especially the women!” They moved closer, the women in front and the men at their back. “Our investigations confirmed that Casino turned out to be a colossal wolf and shape
MIQUEL'S POV “I am here to disclose all my wrongdoings.” Oscar, Demetrius' father, muttered with a bow. I stared at him slowly and sipped my tea. “Are you seeking forgiveness? I have no intention of forgiving you. You killed many innocents and even killed your best friend, my guru. He tried his best to restore you but got killed instead. You couldn't even give him a proper burial. His body was stolen by Jason. That is why…' I paused. "Even execution by hanging is not enough to pardon your crimes.” He nodded slowly. “I am aware of that.” I looked away. “Since my great-grandfather eloped, I'm certain, he is still within the capital. I am sending you to capture him. Being a wolf will make things easier, and besides, no one knows the capital more than you do. Once you complete this task, I will decide on your punishment.” “Yes your majesty,” he bowed and exited my throne room and I sighed. *** What exactly is Casino planning currently? I'm worried he might atta
MIQUEL'S POV My eyes had been darkened by fear, I kept muttering behind words, which I was not sure of. There was a mixture of fear and doubt in it. My legs staggered as I walked where he laid. “Donovan?” My legs suddenly became heavy as I walked to the place he was laid. “I'm sorry… Your Majesty, they mistook him for prince Emmett.” Timon muttered weakly, losing more blood the more he spoke. I knelt beside Donovan. “How…how could this… Donovan, please wake up. Wake up now. You cannot leave like this! This is my fault, I should have taken you along with prince Emmett!” I sobbed loudly, carrying him. “Please open your eyes.” Demetrius pats my shoulder softly. “Can you do anything?” He collected the baby tenderly and checked his pulse. “He has been dead for a while now, not even your blood can save him.” A royal physician hurried in and started their treatment with Timon. I got a little dizzy and almost fell, but Demetrius held me. “Your majesty!” They
