The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin by Moonlight Muse Chapter 111

27. An Old Enmity

SKYLA.

A few hours have passed, and we’re now seated around a dining table. The meal is impressive and even more so considering how little time they had to even prepare it.

After I had marked Royce, they placed a crown on my head which matched Royce’s. It was just a little smaller.

We were then led to the throne. There was a second throne behind the first and it had been lifted and placed beside Royce’s.

One thing we weren’t anticipating though was the fact that every single Solaris Bloodline holder would have felt the return of their king. However, with Royce having made it clear about Aleric and his father’s wrongdoings, despite the commotion the bloodline holders felt, no confirmation was given.

A short while before dinner, Kenneth had apparently called an immediate meeting in three days’ time. A delay that only happened when a few core members of the court made excuses.

The dinner only began after Royce had made it clear, with his command laced into his voice, that what is said here shall remain at this table unless he says otherwise.

I almost laughed when Royce immediately removed his crown and medallion, almost as if he didn’t want to be seen in them. I had to tell him he looked damn sexy, however, it didn’t stop him from removing them.

We are currently discussing Aleric and Kenneth, as well as the issues at hand.

“Does Catherine know?” Edward asks, a frown on his face.

“Does it matter?” Royce asks,

“Of course.” His eyes are hard as he looks at his grandson.

Royce smiles slightly. “No, Mom does not, and on that note, there is far more that Father needs to be held accountable for.”

All eyes of the court turn upon us. “And what may that be?” The annoying woman from earlier, whose name is Nicole, asks.

“I am certain you all must know about my father’s eldest child, a daughter, who was apparently stillborn?” Royce asks.

A tense silence falls over the table, and Nicole is the first to speak. “Of course, but it’s not uncommon. Are you trying to accuse your father of foul play? It happens, especially for Alphas-”

Royce’s eyes flash. “Lady Nicole Glen, if you will continue to question my every statement and defend my father’s action, then perhaps your seat is not at this table.”

The room is dead silent as the woman composes herself.

“I do ask for forgiveness,” she says quietly, lowering her head.

“I will let it slide this once,” Royce replies quietly, and I look at him. This side of him is different.

He’s made for this position, and I can see that he’s already falling into it perfectly.
