Love's Unexpected Awakening Elowen's Choice novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Gift Talk

Theodric finished writing, set the pen aside, and glanced at Cassian. “By the way, when someone has a healthy baby boy, what’s the right kind of gift?”

Elowen blinked.

Wait…he’s sending a gift too?Wasn’t His Majesty just complaining they were a headache?

Cassian shook his head. “I wouldn’t know.”

Theodric looked at Elowen instead. “What do you think?”

She didn’t expect to be included. She paused, then answered a beat late, “I…”

She cleared her throat and corrected herself, “I’m not really sure. Usually… you give what you can afford.”

Theodric rubbed his chin, thinking it over. “Alright. Send a silver amulet for the baby.”

Cassian smiled. “That’s thoughtful, Your Majesty

Elowen was still trying to process everything.

The way Theodric and Cassian acted around each other in private was nothing like she had imagined. Not even close.

“So.” Theodric said, setting the memorials aside, what brings you two here tonight? Dinner’s almost ready. You here to steal a meal?”

“Not this time.”

Cassian’s smile was faint. “It’s about Lieutenant Wren.”

Theodric’s expression turned serious. “Right. I had Alaric deliver my letter. What’s your answer?”

“I’ve discussed it with them. In a few days, I’ll head north myself.”

Elowen’s fingers tightened slightly. She lowered her gaze toward Cassian.

He’s going himself?

“With your leg like that?” Theodric frowned. “We can send someone else.”

“I don’t trust anyone else,” Cassian said evenly. “And neither do you. Lieutenant Wren is too

Theodric pressed his brow, silent.

Elowen was still stunned that Cassian intended to go to Nordia in person when he added. calmly, “While I’m gone, I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on her. She gets hurt far too easily.”

Theodric raised a brow. “Oh?”

Only then did he notice her hand. “What happened?”

Cassian’s tone was casual. “Nothing major. His Highness grabbed her, she fell.”

Theodric’s voice sharpened. “He did what?”

Elowen instinctively hid her right hand behind her back, about to say she was fine.

Cassian spoke first. “It’s not serious. Her right wrist was dislocated, and she scraped her palm.”

Theodric frowned hard. “And you call that not serious?”

Cassian’s voice stayed calm. “Ella grew up in Hale Manor. Her father and her brother fought in real battles. The wounds they’ve taken, the blood they’ve lost, are far worse than this. Compared to that, what she suffered today is minor.”

Theodric’s expression tightened.

The Hale family had bled for him, for Avenlor.

If he watched his own son mistreat her and did nothing, even took his son’s side, what kind of ruler would that make him?

If word spread, who would stay loyal? Who would still march north and risk their life?

“Quin.”

His voice was firm. “Bring Alaric here.”

After Quin left, Theodric turned back to Elowen, his tone gentler. “Don’t worry. I’ll handle this fairly. If he crossed a line and caused this, I won’t let it slide.”

At this point, Elowen could only thank him. She tilted her head slightly and glanced at Cassian.

Cassian leaned back in his chair, the faintest cure at the corner of his mouth. Theodric looked between them and seemed to recall something. “Right.”

Cassian lifted his gaze. “There’s something I need to ask you.”

“Of course, Your Majesty.”

Theodric cleared his throat. “It’s important. Come inside.”

Cassian inclined his head.

Elowen stepped forward to wheel him in, but Theodric had already risen. “I’ve got him.”

She hesitated. That didn’t feel appropriate.

Theodric waved it off. “Relax. When he was little and soaked through his clothes, I was the one who cleaned him up and changed him.”

Elowen stared. “Oh…”

“Your hand’s still injured. Sit and rest.”

Cassian let out a quiet laugh. His brother really has no filter.
