Chapter 19

THE ALTAR OF THE GODDESS VALERIA I glanced to the side , noticing the Alphas daughter had also stepped outside .

Well , His Majesty takes protecting his pack very seriously , I replied with my best loyal and diplomatic servant voice .

She started chatting with me casually , young and carefree .

Excitedly , she talked about a night market held in the town square , where they sold local specialties .

The fact that she wasnt staring at me strangely or treating me differently because of my scars earned her a point in my favor .

It sounds really interesting .

Id love to go , but I cant leave His Majestys side .

Im sorry You can go with her if you want , Aldrics voice rumbled behind me .

Ill be tied up here for a while .

You can explore the market but dont go too far .

Ill catch up with you both soon .

I turned to see him digging into his pocket , already guessing what he was about to do .

Thank you , sir , I replied quickly , practically dragging the girl away with me to escape .

Wait , Valeria .

He caught my arm , stopping me and forcing me to face him , Take this .

Buy whatever you want .

I dont care if you spend it all I brought more .

He tried pressing the heavy pouch of coins into my hand , but I pulled back , clutching it to my chest .
