Chapter 80 Another Letter (Nikolas POV)

Aliana’s heartache weighed heavily on me, but I was determined to root out any lurking spies in our midst, no matter the cost.

Lisa, dear and pure, presented a challenge, for treating her as I did tug at my heartstrings.

However, it was an unavoidable necessity. I hoped Aliana would find it in her heart to forgive me, for our future held paramount importance. She needed to understand that everything I undertook at present was for her and her people, who were also my own. I yearned for her not to make it an issue.

Qusack interrogated Lisa, and to my relief, her accounts checked out. Truly, her father had abandoned her mother before she came into this world, leaving no trace of a relationship.

The news brought solace, as I knew Aliana cherished her friendship. Tearing them apart would have been a sorrowful act. I expressed gratitude for the update and instructed Qusack to release Lisa. Moreover, I asked him to inform Aliana of her friend’s freedom, so that her distress might subside.

Understanding the arduous task of seeking Aliana’s forgiveness, I decided to acquire some flowers before returning to my chambers. Fully aware of her anger towards me, I planned to offer them as a token of appeasement. I engaged a florist to carefully select a bouquet of roses and have them delivered to my quarters within the palace.

As I made my way back to my room, Abraham reached out to inform me of a letter we had just received from the committee. Swiftly altering my course, I headed straight for my office. I wondered what urgent matter they wished to discuss. Knowing a meeting was held privately without me, made me wary of the letter’s content.

Entering my office, I found Abraham waiting for me. Qusack was absent, undoubtedly dealing with other pressing matters.

“Good evening, Alpha,” Abraham greeted me, to which I nodded in acknowledgement.

The letter lay unt*ouched on my desk. Normally, Qusack would open and read the correspondence, but with his absence, Abraham had left it for me to peruse.

Sitting down in my chair, I let out a weary sigh. Abraham noticed my fatigue and inquired, “Rough day?”

I nodded in response, picking up the letter and examining it. Its contents carried a weight of discontent.
