Chapter 650 - DO YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT HIS SECRET?

[Stabbed her own hand?]

A question in Jedrek\'s mind echoed inside Tordoff\'s head. Although the question was given through the mind-link, it was clear to see the presence of concern behind his question. It was rare for Tordoff to get mind-linked by the Alpha during an important meeting. They were discussing the recent devil\'s attacks that were targeting shapeshifters.

The number of victims had been increasing. And there were more victims coming. One was the one that Tordoff and Lilac found on their way back to the castle.

[Yes, Your Majesty, and her blood completely obliterated the demon from existence, Sir.] Tordoff tried to maintain his facial expression straight while listening to Rowan\'s rumbling about the victims. Tordoff was rather surprised with the sudden mind-link from the Alpha King. He cleared his throat to conceal his surprise gasp. The Alpha King asked him about what happened during the outing with the girl.

All the people around the table knew about the woman that he and Lilac found, but then he gave a strict order to not spill anything about the guardian angel to anybody. Tordoff stole a glance at his Alpha king. He didn\'t like the cold and overbearing voice in his head. No emotion in it, he could only feel his usual cold demeanor. It was unpleasant. He was indeed the Alpha.

And then inside his head was silent. There were no more questions from Jedrek, making them focus on the matter at hand. Their attention was suddenly caught by the news that they knew it was coming. With victims growing significantly in number, people apparently started to become anxious.

The people were so petrified with the fact that the missing people were still not yet to be found, even after the imperial search order was issued and executed. But, little did they know, the searching team that was sent to the field was not on a mission of finding the missing people. Their true purpose was to kill those victims who were found soulless in comatose. It had to be done.

However, this could not continue. If it was, things would definitely blow out of proportion in no time. After all, the people were not stupid enough. They would find out that there was something amiss in the way the imperial handled the matter.

==============

Lilac entered her room and waved her hand, fixing the roots and vines behind her. They were supposed to cave in, and create a defensive, impenetrable wall if ever there was some danger threatening while she was sleeping. Until now, she still wondered how Jedrek could easily enter her room that night.

She shrugged off that thought immediately. It was not the right time to worry about it. Now, she was extremely exhausted. Her body was desperately asking for a good night\'s sleep. A proper rest without disturbance. She stripped off her dress and walked towards the bathroom to clean up. She was so tired that she brushed her teeth with eyes half closed.

She put on a comfortable nightgown, and off she was to bed. She pulled her blanket up to her chin. The warmth that was provided by the blanket engulfed her whole in satisfaction. The rattling sound of the wind outside lulled her to sleep, she was ready to dive in a dream. But, it didn\'t last for long when she heard someone was knocking on her door, asking for her attention.

Lilac frowned, but didn\'t make a move to open the door. She thought, whoever it was would leave her alone once realized she didn\'t give any response. Unfortunately, it was just like any other day ever since she came to this realm. Nothing went according to her plan. She couldn\'t hold back her grunt then got up. Irritated with the sound, she dragged her body off the bed while rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Rubbing her eyes didn\'t help to get rid of her sleepiness, but the knock on the door was getting louder. She forcibly brought herself to the door and yanked it open. Her vexation was the fuel to whatever she was about to do to the person behind that door. She was so close onto snapping. "What?!"

"Wow! Easy." Maximus raised both of his hands when he saw the angry face who opened the door. The nest-like hair on her head was hard to miss. Then, he realized that his presence was interrupting her sleep. But he didn\'t care at all. His innocent smile still etched on his lips.

Lilac shook her head and narrowed her eyes. "You," she spluttered. "Don\'t you know what time it is?"

Maximus put down his hands. "It looks like the king has changed his mind and let you stay. He even sent Tordoff to look after you all day, right? How could you make such progress in less than three days?"

Lilac leaned her body against the door frames, observing the man in front of her. She was still half awake, questioning her own consciousness. Am I imagining things? Does he know about Jedrek\'s visit?—she thought.

"Why don\'t you ask him? It\'s not like I asked him to send someone to look after me. So, what makes you think that I know what is inside his mind?" Lilac was annoyed for being bothered with this kind of question. "Geez, is this it? My quality sleep was intruded for this? If you don\'t have anything more important to say, I\'m going back to sleep, now."

She turned away and was about to slam the door on his face. But then he said, "I want to invite you somewhere."

She halted. "Where?" asked her suspiciously.

"Somewhere. This is a secret place of His Majesty the Alpha King." His expression remained the same when he said it.

"Jedrek?" Lilac knitted her brows. "Why should I go to his secret place? What makes you think that I would go there?"

"So that you can get to know him better," Maximus answered lightly.

Lilac scowled, "Look, all I want is for him to stop being ignorant, and start to care about the upcoming war. It\'s so close, I know you can feel it too. I\'d be more than grateful if he shows a slight sign of awareness about the war, why don\'t he do something about it in his spare time? Because that was the only reason why I\'m here. I don\'t care about his secret place!" said the girl, making her point.

Yes, it\'s true that Lilac wanted to see what kind of man who gave an order to kill an innocent baby. In fact, she wanted more than \'see\' this man, she wanted to get the sweet revenge that she always imagined. But, it was her personal grudge. It was not the main reason why she was there. Her main mission must come first. The mission that was given by Selene, the Moon Goddess.

Lilac was grateful for what Selene did for her. She saved her life, and gave her a second chance. But, every breath that she took came with a great price. She had to do something in return to pay for it. Lilac didn\'t mind with all that, because she knew that her mission was about something bigger, more important than anything.

The only thing that she couldn\'t understand was why would Selene mixed things up, relating Jedrek to her in an odd situation with the mate-bond between them. She thought that their complicated relationship would only make her mission even harder. It really didn\'t help at all.

"Are you sure, you don\'t want to know about this secret place?" There was a glimpse of surprise behind Maximus\'s smile.

"There is a reason why it is a secret. And I never wish to snoop on anybody\'s secret!"
