The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353: A CERTAIN ALPHA WAS ATTENDING TO HIS MATE

One of the reasons that made the King hesitate over making the problems of black magic and the lycan official was because he didn’t want the Holy Kingdom to get involved in this matter. Looking at the current situation, it was only right for them to intervene, since it was part of their responsibility to eliminate any dark magic users and the use of black magic.

Therefore, with Lou sneaking inside Alan’s bedroom, where he had been locked up, it was completely unacceptable, especially when he suggested for him to inform the Holy Kingdom about it.

However, knowing Alan, this man- child wouldn’t think that far as he only thought about himself. There was no way he would consider the consequences that would entail by allowing the Holy Kingdom to interfere with their kingdom’s affairs.

"With the word from the Serafim, no one will be able to deny it. After all, if there is one person who could talk about black magic, it will be her." Lou leaned his body forward and looked at Alan with a suggestive look. "Serafim is your only chance at getting back the respect from the public, also your honor. Don’t you feel bad when your name is being tarnished for something that you didn’t even do? Moreover, what the heck with a baby that is not even the King’s own being selected as the next crown prince? How could the King skip a generation to appoint an heir, the next person in line for the throne? People are very disappointed in this decision and you can take this as your chance to acquire your own supporters."

If there was one person who suited this assignment, it must be Lou, as he knew exactly what to say and how to press the right buttons to boost Alan’s ego, though the merchant felt like he wanted to puke at the vanity of this former crown prince.

Talking to such a shallow person who had a characterless personality was an easy task for him in the end.

However, Lou was still wrecking his brains to figure out what game Cane was playing at, yet he couldn’t get any idea what this was all about.

Not to mention Cane had gone missing along with Iris.

If it was not for his gamma, who came to remind him about the deal between them, Lou would have forgotten about this task completely.

’Whether the Alpha will return or not, our pack will still hold the end of the deal.’

That was what Ethan said, thus even if Cane died, they would still fulfill their alpha’s promise to him as long as he managed to make Alan write for the Holy Kingdom.

Lou shook his head, his brain capacity was not able to untangle this mystery, while Alan was starting to think what he should write for the Holy Kingdom, asking for their help.

"If I can make the Serafim come to this continent and solve the problem, Cane will not stand a chance against me. He will become a laughing stock for his wasted efforts to solve the problem. Ah! He has gone missing! I wish he will return alive, it is no fun if he died!" Alan muttered to himself with a mocking tone, laughing derisively.

"Yeah, yeah..." Lou smiled. It was not even a smile at all.

And with that, all the pieces started moving in the directions that Cane wanted, as he had directed the path for them.

They would arrive at the Riverside pack tomorrow and as usual, they spent most of their time running through the Amistice Forest that connected the capital city and the Riverside pack. This path was not recommended during other seasons because of the frequent monster attacks, but at this time, thankfully they had not yet encountered any monsters, as those creatures would still be in hibernation.

Usually, when they stopped to take a rest and have their lunch, Iris would talk about everything, even when she read her book. Yes, Cane had made sure Will packed a book on the topic she currently liked for her inside the bag he gave them. Even so, Iris would talk about the information she read.

Cane could answer some questions, but some of them were something new that he had never heard of and sometimes, unintentionally, Iris would lead their conversation into a random discussion. She seemed happier to be away from the palace.

Probably, it became her habit to forget about things that upset her or put her in agony, since they had never talked about Kellan again and she pretended as if all of those things had never happened.

Late at night when Iris was about to sleep while they were staring at the starry sky, she asked him something.

Iris nudged his arm, as Cane sat down and leaned his body against the tree with his eyes closed, but she knew he wasn’t asleep, while she laid next to him on the makeshift bed he made for her, "If you can change something in the past, what will you change?"

Cane opened his eyes and slowly looked at her. Recently, she had been asking these kinds of random questions and weirdly enough, he humored her.

"Nothing. It’s pointless. You can’t change anything in the past. You left them, that’s why they were the past."
