Chapter 72 Ethan Found Out About Papeno
**Ethan‘s POV
“We‘ll need to figure out which of the Denali Islands may be used by our enemies.” | met with James and Talon in private.
“Ethan, how are you going to do this? Romero may be cunning, but he is not stupid,” James asked.
I turned to the King with a smirk, “Your Majesty, didn‘t you want me to marry Madalynn? I will, in one month.”
James stroked his chin as if he was trying to understand my true intentions. “Very well, I‘ll have the announcement out this afternoon.”
I knew my decision probably didn‘t make Talon super excited, but he didn‘t say much in front of the king.
“Ethan, why–” Talon chased me out of the meeting room.
I turned to face Talon, and my words were cold. “Because I need Madalynn to come to me.”
He paused for a moment, and I gave him my command. “Tell the guys to get ready for some action.”

Madalynn‘s voice rang from the other side of the door. “Ethan!”
I walked over to open the door.
She was wearing subtle make–up, her perfume wasn‘t as strong as usual, and she acted more polite than usual. Madalynn may be arrogant, but like her father, she wasn‘t stupid by any means. She knew how to carry herself in front of different people.
But I still needed to fight against my urge to frown.
“Is it true?” Her eyes were filled with excitement.
I acknowledged it with a nod. “It‘s the king‘s order.”
It was obvious I had made her day by allowing her into my suite.
“You‘ve agreed that we are getting married in a month?” She tried to get reassurance from me.
I looked at her. “Is the reason why you‘re here today to question me?”
Although I didn‘t answer her directly, it was enough for her. She smiled and asked, “May I come in?”
I walked back to the living room and sat on the couch.
She hesitated and followed me to the couch. Seeing I had no objection, she took the seat only one spot away from me.
“So do you need me for anything?” I wanted to get this over with soon, but I knew I needed to be patient.
She cleared her throat. “Oh, ahem, yes.” She collected her thoughts. “Now that we are getting married, ligured we have a few things to discuss.”
“Go ahead.”
“I‘d like to take a photo for the announcement for the paper.” She glanced at me to check my reaction. “Maybe we can talk about it over lunch?”
It took every ounce of me to entertain this conversation, but I tried my best to even my tone. “When?”
She seemed a little surprised, but her eyes lit up.
“How about today?” It was almost noon.
I nodded, put on my suit jacket, and walked over to the door.
She seemed to be still in a daze. When she finally realized that I was waiting for her, she moved quicker than I had ever seen her move, and before I knew it, we were walking down the main hall towards the small dinning room on castle property.
As we walked towards the restaurant, I saw people look at us curiously.
“Ethan?” She had a victorious smile on her face. “I am glad that we are finally doing something together.” I didn‘t respond, but it didn‘t change her good mood.
“Just the two of you today?” a young woman asked when we approached.
“Yes. We are celebrating today,” Madalynn answered before I could, and I raised a brow in question as to what she meant by celebrating.
“Oh, that‘s wonderful. Right this way please, Alpha… Luna.”
I was displeased with how Madalynn was addressed, but I kept my mouth shut. My silence, however, could not be more satisfying for Madalynn.
As we sat at the table, Madalynn ordered wine with a smile on her face. Then she switched her focus to me, seemingly expecting us to have a conversation.
“Ethan, thank you for coming here with me.” If I hadn‘t seen some of her behaviors before, I would even consider her tone graceful.
“Welcome,” was all I could say.
After a few seconds of silence, I started the conversation. “You wanted to talk about the photo taking?”
I tried to sound as patient as I could. “Time, up to you, as long as there is no emergency. As for location assume you like islands?”
She seemed to be happy with the conversation, especially with others looking our way. “What do you want to know about them?”
“Um…some islands are best for private parties, some have good food. I don‘t like trade ports; they are too busy
I thought for a few seconds. “You‘re the only heir. All of your father‘s private islands would be yours. So are those bigger and more noisy ones. Seems like you would have quite a lot of responsibilities in your future. Remind me how many public and private port cities are there in total?”
