“Lancel looks so sullen,” Becky whispered to me quietly.
My assistant and I were hard at work in the lab, and Asher’s head guard was perched near the door. The older gentleman had a look of disdain on his face, but I wasn’t sure if that was due to any actual reason or if it was just his appearance.
Either way, I stifled a giggle.
“Don’t take it personally,” I whispered back. “Maybe he’s just having a bad day or something.”
“Or maybe it’s just his face,” Becky joked. I started cracking up immediately. Though we were two different people, we had the exact same sense of humor. Becky always knew how to make me laugh.
My assistant was right of course. Lancel was a very serious guard and performed his duties diligently. I’d hardly ever seen him smile. Even when I was younger, I rarely saw the man’s expression change.
Then again, Lancel had never really liked Cora. I didn’t know why exactly, but maybe it was because he thought the poor, miserable girl brought his Alpha too many difficulties and struggles. Every time there’d been any sort of drama happening in my life, he’d always seemed to have his nose turned up.
Of course, it seemed like Lancel didn’t really like me now either. When Asher had asked his guard to protect me and keep me safe, the older man’s expression had been one of disbelief. Though he was too loyal to question his king’s orders, he didn’t look all that willing to lay his life on the line for me.
But he cared for Asher too much to defy him.
Once Lancel had agreed to the idea, Asher and I set the rest of the plan int
