Rania said nothing to Ethan when they met again this morning for breakfast, she didn’t bring up the topic about when Ethan came to see Eli. She also knew that he talked to Bell
However, Eiten kept glancing at Rania, as if waiting for her to say something, instead the queen didn’t seem bother with him, she was enjoying her conversation with Maximus.
Meanwhile, the king was listening to what she said and every now and then, he would feed her a mouthful of soup or a piece of meat. He looked relaxed.
The dinning hall was filled with warriors, who were seated in the lower platform, while the omegas were busy to serve more food to them.
The women were still afraid of their warriors, but they seemed to be less tensed.
And when Eiten was about to stand up, because he didn’t have an appetite to eat, from the corner of his eyes, he saw Eli walked inside the dinning hall, carrying a tray of food with the other omegas.
She was talking to her sister, Rona. She looked as beautiful as always, even when she was only wearing a rag.
Now, Eiten understood why Maximus could be smitten by Rania He knew that feeling so well and felt bad because he had been underestimated the way Maximus favored his mate.
Eiten couldn’t take his eyes off her and Eli finally noticed him. Their eyes met and for a brief second all the noises around them ceased down.
Nothing was important right now…
“What are you staring at?”
However, Maximus ruined the moment for Eiten, as he elbowed his royal gamma and shattered the bubble.
“Argh,” Eiten groaned in frustration, but he still didn’t dare to raise his voice, as he gave Maximus an annoying look.
“What is it?” Maximus glared Eiten down, until the royal gamma averted his eyes.
Eiten looked for Eli, but he caught her figure walked out of the dining hall. Ugh. She already left, and now he had to answer to the king.
“Nothing,” Eiten grumbled, he looked sullen.
“He saw his mate,” Rania chimed in, she was giggling. “You ruined their moment.”
“Sorry,” Maximus said lightly, but there was no regret in his voice whatsoever, if anything, he sounded happy, to be able to do that to his gamma.
“Ugh.” Eiten scratched his head that was not itchy and then finished his meal. The food didn’t taste good, but when he thought it was the food that his mate made, suddenly, it tasted better.
After that, just like what Eiten had promised, he went to the kitchen, right in the same place where he met with Bella yesterday. He brought a good chunk of meat that was still warm and then waited for the little girl.
“I feel so stupid.” He squatted down, while leaning his back against the wall, staring at the blue sky above him. “What I actually am doing here?” He questioned his life now.
When Eiten was contemplating to leave, suddenly he felt the nuage on his arm and when he lifted his head, he saw Bella was staring at him with her big eyes, she grinned cheekily.

“Do you have a headache?” she asked with her childish voice.
“No.”
“You look like you have one.” Bella then walked closer and started to massage Eiten’s scalp. “When mama ha she loved to be massage like this.”

However, what Bella was doing was not really massaging Eiten’s Head, instead she pulled his hair. “Okay, I feel better now, Eiten said, grimacing, but a smile graced his lips.
“See? You feel better already, right?”
“Yeah.” Eiten then handed her over the meat. “Here what I promised you, and I bring you this too.” Eiten took something out from his pocket and it was a can of candy.
Bella jumped up and down, her little face flushed with red because of how excited and happy she was.
“Thank you!” Bella hugged Eiten tightly and then kissed his cheek. “You are the best!”
Eiten was one of the best warriors, he led the warriors to victory against the Barlukan kingdom’s warriors alongside the king and he had a long list of achievement that would shower him in praises.
However, the praise from this little girl was entirely different thing. He felt the happiness and proudness that he had never felt before.
Called him childish, but the look on Bella’s face when she smiled happily make Eiten became a little bit impulsive.
“Come here again tomorrow and I will bring more meat for you! Eiten said proudly, being able to provide meat for her. “And I will bring more candies and trinkets, do you like trinkets?
Eiten saw the only bracelet that Bella was wearing was the one that was made of roots. Many omegas‘ children were wearing the same thing.
“Really?” Bella jumped up and down.
