"We really did feed him to the crown prince, your grace. We swear it. You know we’d never ever disobey your command." The second one breathed out this ti as he fell on his knees. The grand king was still angry, but at least his jaw wasn’t being clenched so tightly anymore.

"I think we should ask him for an explanation then." The first ssenger announced, then all attention was on in the next mont. I instantly stiffened, heart lurching into my throat as I blinked at the three of them.

"Care to explain? How are you still alive? And if you dare lie, consider yourself dead." The grand king spoke this ti and I flinched at the last part of his sentence, feeling my heart growing heavy and slowing down, and I was more scared right now because I knew he wasn’t bluffing.

"I- I don’t know how I survived." I revealed and the three n regarded like I had suddenly gone stupid.

"Are you really trying to test my patience?" The grand king thundered and I flinched, while feeling fear grow thicker within .

"Tell what I wanna hear right now before my patience runs thin!" He ordered again and I fidgeted while wondering what it is that he actually wanted to say, aside from the truth. I already told him the truth but it doesn’t seem like he believed that.

"I really don’t know, I swear. I passed out in the cage and when I woke up, the beast was gone and I was alone."

This ti, the grand king had a weird expression on as he regarded closely. Shocked looks could be seen on the ssengers’ faces as they gaped at .

"Did the prince harm you while you were unconscious?" He asked, voice unrecognizable but slower this ti and I shook my head.

"No, he didn’t."

The grand king leaned forward and began to stroke his breads this ti, while his eyes didn’t move from my face for a second.

"That’s definitely strange because it has never happened before, to be frank." The grand king continued and I stiffened again as he continued.

"Which clearly ans there has to be more to this." The grand king announced before leaning back again.

"Aren’t you the one that drank poison on behalf of the crown prince three days ago? Who I heard the prince got territorial over?" He asked and my heart pounded away as I gave a timid nod in response.

"Is the prince smitten with this boy, your grace?" One of the ssengers asked and the king humd again, his eyes never leaving for a second.

"The prince never gets smitten with anyone, he hates people too much to do sothing like that." The grand king paused for a mont before pointing a hand at .

"However, there’s definitely sothing unusual going on. Since the prince didn’t kill you when in his beast form, does this an he recognized you when he’s in his human form? Is he treating you nice because he rembers you from there?" The grand king continued.

"I- I don’t know..." I began but the grand n king cut off sharply.

"Silence!"

"My grandson has never shown any interest in anyone before, not even an eager flicker of lust at least. He just never cares. He refused to reveal who the kid that took that poison for him is, and sohow, that sa kid is the one that survived being killed by the Prince’s mindless beast. Isn’t it clear enough?" The king was referring to the two ssengers this ti and they both looked confused as they refused to outrightly respond.

"I’ve decide that I won’t kill this boy anymore like I fully intended to when I ordered him to co with ,"

The king suddenly said and my eyes widened, my heart falling right into my stomach.

He planned to kill when he made co with him here?

Holy shit.

"Instead of killing you, I’ll just use you to test a theory or two out." He continued and I stiffened as horror washed over .

Oh gods.

Not again.

Not when I’m still being used by the Prince’s butler and his guards.

"I’ll use him in monitoring my grandson, and he’ll give daily reports about him. I have a feeling that curse of his is starting to get broken. That’s the only thing that can explain this complicated situation."

He rose to his feet this ti and pocketed his hands before speaking. "And, it could also an that the prince has co across his fated mate." His mouth was in a thin line this ti and the look he gave was scalding before he faced the ssengers.

"Is that a good or a bad thing, your grace?" The second ssenger asked the grand king whose lips curled up in clear displeasure as he threw one more scalding look my way before responding.

"Absolutely not, it isn’t. If it ends up being the latter, it would have to be nipped in the bud before it even gets the chance to beco anything aningful."

My eyes widened as fear swamped my insides at once. What does he an by all that he was asking?

Sothing about fated mates...?

What the fuck does that even an?

"Of course, your grace." One of the ssengers said while the other one nodded in agreent. "Whatever you need us to do, you only need to say the word and your wish is our command."

They both bowed after speaking and I almost let out a scoff. If I rember clearly, they didn’t even like this man and saw him as an old drunk. Saying that right now would undoubtedly only make matters worse for .

"So, is he just gonna be allowed to leave?" One of the ssengers asked this ti and the grand king nodded

"Yes. But I’ll be sending for him very frequently for him to report to ." His eyes locked with mine as he continued. "And If a single detail is left out, you might really lose your head this ti."
