The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134: IRIS’S PECULIAR HAIR

To be born with natural auburn hair was rare in this continent, because this was not their usual hair color, therefore, Lou’s attention immediately fell on her once he entered the room.

He knew about Mason, in truth, he had met him twice in the past when he needed something from his guild, he also knew about his little sister being a runt, but then because she was not important and it would only be a waste of time to look for more information on her, he had never paid attention to that runt.

Therefore, this was their first encounter and Lou was very surprised to see her. Blue eyes with auburn hair. He had gone to many places and had met with a lot of supernatural creatures, thus he could tell that her origins were questionable at most.

"Tell me, from whom did you get the color? Absolutely not your father, so your mother?" Lou looked very interested in Iris, he even ignored Alan completely.

Even if Cane could pretend he didn’t exist, more so Lou, as the head of a guild. Alan couldn’t use his title here.

"Say, red hair, from whom did you get your hair color?" Lou leaned his body forward, as he was very interested to hear Iris’ answer.

On the other hand, Cane was silent, but he was following this conversation. Of course, he was aware of this peculiarity, but he didn’t pay deeper attention to this, since her origins didn’t have anything to do with him.

Whether she was a runt or not, it wouldn’t affect him or his plans, but Lou’s remark made him think otherwise...

"I got it from my maternal grandmother." Iris remembered she had asked about this to her old nanny and this was her answer, because neither her father nor her mother had this hair color.

"Hm..." Lou touched his chin. "Did you see it yourself? Or was it someone else who told you that?"

Iris knitted her brows. She felt his question was unnecessary, but she must answer it. "No. My old nanny told me. My maternal grandmother died before I was born."

"What about your old nanny?"

"She died when I was five."

"Hm..."

Alan couldn’t take it anymore. He was here to buy an important item, not to hear this sob story about this runt!

"Enough!" Alan was enraged and Corry was hopeless in calming him down. "I am here for the Asturi Stem. Give me a price, I will pay!" He slammed his hand against the armrest, as he spoke.

"Ck, ck, ck." Lou clicked his tongue in annoyance. "This is why I don’t like the royal family. I have told you to make him behave before our next meeting, right?" He shifted his attention toward Corry when he asked this.

"My apologies to Guild Master Lou, but we are in a hurry and the Prince is a little bit anxious." Corry’s voice was so calm, it seemed, he had gotten used to fixing the problems created by this spoiled crown prince. "Can we move to the part of trading instead? We can’t afford to lose more time. For people like us, time is very precious, right?"
