Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 412

Chapter 412: Questioned The King

Islinda witnessed Queen Maeve clenching her hand so tightly that her nails dug into her palm and drew blood. Once, twice, thrice, the blood hit the ground before her eyes darted away.

Maeve, the Fae Queen, was being pushed against the wall. She was like a volcano on the verge of erupting. Islinda knew Aldric was cruel, but reducing the queen of a nation to a joke took a lot of guts.

"What else can I say?" A strained smile spread across Queen Maeve’s face as she responded, "I am a kind Queen and known for taking in strays. I think it would be wonderful to add a dark Fae prince to my collection, and I am sure the Winter Queen would be overjoyed to know that I am looking after her son, no matter where she is."

The air grew frigid, and Aldric felt his fists tighten, also observing the cold expression his father gave Queen Maeve. Quite intriguing. In such situations, his father would typically take a neutral stance. It appears that there was trouble in paradise.

Queen Maeve licked her lips. In protest, she said, "I was just going to teach him a lesson. Your son humiliated me in front of everyone! Do I, the queen of the country, not have the authority to reprimand the son in my care?"

"You should know better than to get in the way of an investigation." That was all the king said to her before the uproar.

Soldiers rushed in through the door and stood in various positions throughout the ballroom, causing unrest as the crowd murmured uneasily. Nobody knew what the king had up his sleeve.

"Everyone, pay attention!" The King’s voice echoed across the room like thunder, and they could not help but listen. "It is with regret that the matchmaking ball has come to an end."

There were whispers in the audience as Queen Maeve stiffened up at that precise moment. She organized this event! Something she had worked tirelessly to organize, and it was simply dismissed? It was only one interruption, and the party could have continued as if nothing had happened. Oberon, however, did not consider how she would feel and simply ended it. Queen Maeve was irrational.

The king continued, saying, "Until the investigation is finished, the palace is under lockdown and no one will be allowed in or out."

Another round of murmuring was sparked by the announcement.

"A dark Fae attacked an important guest tonight, and the fact that he was able to gain entry into the secured palace indicates that they have stepped up their game. Or they could have inside help. As a result, all of you will be searched tonight, and if any incriminating object is discovered on you, you will be arrested."

There was almost chaos because the young Faeries had only come to have fun and not be investigated. But King Oberon issued a stern command: "Silence!"

The room became deafeningly quiet.
