The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334: IT WILL BE EASIER

The first thing that happened at the end of that day was; apparently all the people knew what happened in the palace, about the dark wisp and the black witch, who had been killed trying to kill the Alpha of the Howling Wolf pack.

Of course, the citizens were enraged. A black witch within the ranks of the royal magic users was already a bad omen, not to mention, she tried to kill an alpha.

Though Cane didn’t look as affable as Prince Kellan, they quite liked him, since he helped with the construction of the orphanage and had their respect for stepping up and ensuring their safety.

The rumor that spread around the people was; the Alpha readily shouldered the responsibility to find the lycan and the person who had cursed Princess Osana, as he strengthened the protection around the capital city.

With that, Cane’s face was way more favorable in the people’s eyes than the King himself, as they knew the King was trying to hide the fact that the fourth prince had gone missing when the lycan had taken him away, especially when the King started a conflict with the Red Claw pack, which would disturb the commerce of magic stones in turn.

It would affect a lot of people if the Red Claw pack stopped sending their magic stones.

In short, the public opinion was in the favor of Cane, as they were disappointed in the King and the way he handled things.

"The public favors you, just like you wanted." Ethan gave the latest report to the Alpha. "This is even better than we expected."

Cane nodded. It was indeed better than what they expected.

The two of them stood in front of the Alpha and Luna’s chamber, as they talked about the situation right now.

Even though the King had tried to suppress the news about what happened this early morning, of course, Cane had a different thought. Now, he could gauge how much he had pulled the people’s sympathy to his side.

"What Iris did also had helped to lure the public to our side."

Cane raised his brows when he heard that.

"You don’t know?" Ethan frowned and then clicked his tongue. "Ah! That damned king really had intercepted our communication."

"Watch your words."

Ethan had gotten into trouble countless times because he couldn’t filter his words and always spoke up what was in his mind. It was a good thing on some occasions, but if he continued being so reckless, it would be the death of him some day. Cane wouldn’t be able to solve every mishap that he fell into, thus he needed to learn how to restrain himself and sort out his words.

If it was not for the fact that the problem with the dark witch and the curse eclipsed his offense toward the Crown Prince, the King would have made a big deal out of it by now.

"The Luna taught all the children in the orphanage, she also taught the warriors. Common people started to come to learn and she tried to make arrangements for that, too, then you got into trouble, which irked the people, because of course, the arrangements would be postponed."

Cane was surprised, though he didn’t show it on his expression. He didn’t expect that. He left her for less than two weeks, but she had caught people’s heart way better than his efforts could help him do that in this past month.

Right at that time, Iris came out of the bedroom with Hanna, after the latter helped her missy get into her dress, so Cane wouldn’t need to deal with the laces and strings.

"I still can’t understand. Don’t you think it is very dangerous to expose Iris’ ability?" Redmond frowned, as he talked in a low voice to Ethan beside him, while Trion listened from beside the Gamma.

"Almost all the people in the Howling Wolf pack and the Blue Moon pack know that Iris can sense magic stones, do you think the news about it did not reach the King already?" Ethan scoffed. The truth was; with the traitor within the pack, the King must have known about it already, therefore, there was no need for them to intentionally conceal it.

It would be better to reveal such information on their own terms. At least, that was how Cane had done things. The same way he led the public opinion about the appearance of the lycan.

"I don’t think it’s a smart move to let them know about it." Redmond was still stubborn with his opinion. He wanted Iris to gain her own power, but he didn’t think this overexposure would benefit her.

Ethan rolled his eyes. "If the Alpha has the idea to expose it, he must have a plan in motion to deal with what will come and the consequences of his action."

"He is putting her in danger," Redmond said bluntly, scoffing at the Alpha. He knew Cane had a good head on his shoulders, but he used people too much and even his mate was not an exception, yet Iris didn’t know any better.

"Truthfully speaking, we are all in danger." Ethan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "Do you think by keeping her hidden, it will help?" He scoffed derisively, which made Redmond growl. Trion grimaced because they started fighting again. "The Alpha knows what he is doing."

And with the two of them bickering yet again, Cane and Iris entered the main hall, where they could see all the people of high status and the heads of some privileged families in this capital.

But, what made Cane frown slightly was the fact that Lady Cyan stood in stead of the Queen. It was so rare for her to make a public appearance and from the information that Cane gathered, she didn’t like this kind of encounter.

Was it the King who had ordered her to come?
