The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261: SHE WAS SUMMONED TO THE MAIN HALL

Iris stared at Cane. She had never seen him wear something so formal, but he did now, that too a dark purple color one, which surprisingly, suited him greatly.

She had seen the King and the Crown Prince wear this color before, but none of them could exude the aura that emanated from the Alpha right now. He looked regal without even trying. People who didn’t know would mistake him for the King himself instead.

The Alpha walked across the room and the way he carried himself was so graceful, as if the whole room lit up by his presence alone while every servant felt the need to bow to him, an urge that could be enforced only by a true sovereign.

"Miss, you are ogling at him," Hanna mouthed when finally Iris shifted her attention toward her after a lot of nudges. The latter actually giggled to see her missy’s current expression.

Iris immediately closed her mouth and lowered her head, embarrassed.

Hanna immediately stepped aside when Cane approached Iris and took her hand. She lifted her head again and mumbled, "You look so fine." Her face was so red, she felt like kicking herself for being so silly.

Thankfully, Cane’s paralyzed expression didn’t show any discomfort.

"You look beautiful," Cane replied politely. He turned around to face Felicity, who was gushing over the two of them, beyond elated to witness how well her creations looked on the two of them. There was nothing that could make her happier than this. "Is it allright?"

"Perfect!" Felicity clapped her hands. "I can’t wait for the real ceremony!" Her comment was a little bit insensitive because they knew what had happened, but she still wished for the ceremony to be held, yet no one would dare enough to voice it out. However, they couldn’t help but agree that the two of them looked perfect together.

After that, Cane didn’t stay for long, once Felicity concluded there was nothing wrong, he immediately changed his clothes and left. It almost felt like he just stopped by to change clothes instead.

But the fact that he made time for Iris and kept his words made her feel so happy.

Cane was still taciturn and didn’t explain anything, their communication was yet to improve, nor did he let her know where he was going or what he would do, but Iris could feel his effort.

Afterward, Hanna brought lunch into Iris’ bedroom, as both of them enjoyed their meal, someone knocked on the door and this made her frown.

"What happened?" Iris asked because Hanna stopped talking in the middle of their conversation. She was filling her in on the gossip around this palace, especially the ones involving Princess Osana.

If it was not for Hanna, Iris would have been very clueless about what was going on around her and so blind about the power struggle and also the relationship dynamic between the members of the royal family, since Cane wouldn’t have explained such things to her.

But, Hanna kept her well informed about her surroundings, after all, certain servants knew better than any spies and Hanna was good at making new friends.
