GoodNovelChapter 49 THE KINGS CUNNING VALERIA Elena, shut your mouth already and go with the servant take Edward to his room so he can rest! Michael, go fetch the doctor inmediately, and we will talk later, you and 11 the Alpha began barking out orders.
I stayed silent behind Aldric, frowning, with nothing else ould do.
I watched as they carried the pup away, his cheeks showing more color and the bleeding stopped, which eased my It seemed I was the only one who had witnessed that mans cruelty toward his brother, and I was in no position to interfere in their family matters.
I truly hoped I had misinterpreted the situation.
Your Majesty, what a shameful welcome.
I apologize to both you and your maid.
My youngest son was born with hes quite a rare weakness in his legs, very unusual for our kind, and he cannot walk properly.
Even so, miss, mischievous and always manages to get into trouble.
He will recover soon, dont worry, The Alpha continued to apologize, bowing in front of the King If it werent for His Majesty, they would have likely calleda nosy gossip directly.
Valeria.
I snapped out of my thoughts, lifting my head to meet Aldrics gray eyes.
Would you prefer we stay at an inn? Would you feel more comfortable elsewhere ? I was shocked by his question That would be a direct insult to the Alpha, all for my comfort.
My gaze shifted to Alpha Garret, who stared atwith wide eyes, clearly unable to believe that a mere servant might ruin all his efforts to win Aldrics favor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis face shifted into one of pure pleading.
Eyes on me, Valeria.
Forget about the others.
Tellour luggage hasnt even been fully unloaded yet, Aldric pressed, unyielding Miss Valeria, youll be far more comfortable in the mansion than in an inn.
Weve prepared a spacious room for you, with a private bathtub and everything, the Alpha chimed in, blatantly trying to bribe me.
And I remembered very well what had happened in the last inn.
The King had managed to arrange for us to share a room, even though I later discovered that several rooms had been vacant since the afternoon of our arrival.
Aldric waited patiently, arms crossed over his chest.
If I didnt know him so well, might have even been touched by his apparent concern.
I know exactly what youre plotting, Your Majesty.
Its better if we stay.
I wouldnt want the Lord to feel slighted because of me, I replied, meeting his sharp gray eyes as they stared into mine.
Not this time, King Aldric.
I wont let you play the scard again, I thought proudly, convinced of my cleverness.
Fine.
Go to the carriage and give instructions for our belongings.
Quinn and Celine are unfamiliar with these details, he finally responded, and I nodded, walking away.
THE KINGS CUNNING Curiosity got the best of me, and I glanced back, catching him speaking quietly with the Alpha, who nodded eagerly before summoning one of his servants.
My blue eyes locked with Aldrics for a moment, and I could swear I saw a mocking glint in his eyes, his always serious lips curling into a subtle, seductive smile.
The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end.
What was this shameless seducer plotting now? Is everything alright, Valeria ? Quinn askedsoftly, concerned, as I reached the carriage where our things were being unloaded.
I nodded without giving much explanation or speaking further.
The last thing I wanted was more trouble with his sister.
I wasnt afraid of her, even though she was much stronger than me, but I was tired of being the source of tension when all I wanted was to go unnoticed.
But as always, what I wanted and what cout of the Kings enormous arrogance were two very different things.
The inside of the Alphas mansion was just as luxurious and elegant as the exterior.
He quickly led us to the second floor.
Here you are, a very comfortable and spacious suite.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBring in all the luggage ! the Alpha ordered the servants as he opened a large wooden door, inviting us inside.
Aldric entered first with him.
Wait, those are my things.
You can leave them in the hallway, I instructed one of the servants.
Apologies, miss, but we were ordered to bring everything here.
Your room is right next to His Majestys, the servant responded, leavingstunned.
I glanced along the wall again, but no , there was no other door in the m hallway only the one leading into Aldrics chambers. Something felt very wrong.
I stepped inside just in tto hear the Alpha finishing his tour.
D Are the arrangements to your satisfaction, Your Majesty? bem asked Aldrio, who, in truth, looked more than pleased. Yes, very satisfied, I must say, he nodded.
Excuse me, Alpha.
Where will I be sleeping? The bad feeling in my chest only grew stronger.
Of course, Miss Valeria.
Right this way, he replied, struggling a bit to slide open a wooden partition door, revealing a much smaller adjoining room. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
