Chapter Three Hundred-Eighteen – How He Came

Lady Zara stopped in front of Nero who frantically looked for the Princess and Thales. They seemed to have disappeared from his sight!

Did this mean that he’d be brutally beaten when he returned? Sweat beads formed on his forehead.

"It’s unusual seeing the King’s dog without his owner." Lady Zara smirked. "Or did you get lost in the non assassin world?"

Nero dropped his eyes on her in annoyance but quickly noticed her clothes were like the ones Princess Laurel had worn that day, with the enticing material.

Even worse was that Lady Zara’s cleavage suffocated under it and peeped out from the clothes. The spot seemed to have been oiled too.

Nero stepped back with red face and ears. "G-Good morning, Lady Zara. I’m only performing my—"

Lady Zara clicked her tongue, having noticed his face turn red and seeing where his eyes had been. "Pervert. At least, you have a better taste than your owner."

As she walked away, Nero turned to watch her leave. He had good taste because she caught him staring at her?

That sounded like the King didn’t, because he didn’t stare at her. So she’d like the King to notice her more? Was that why she bothered him?

He exhaled. He didn’t think Lady Zara was a simple yet complicated lady. Could she be like other ladies that want the King for the Luna status or there’s something else?

The King could never understand women and even Nero didn’t think women could be understood. He and Nether were twins but he still couldn’t fathom what she thought of.

"Keep your eyes to yourself!"

Nero’s neck was twisted from staring at Lady Zara. His eyes had been on her body inside of the enticing material while his thoughts had ran.

He turned to Thales and the witch frowned at him deeply. "Or I’d pluck those eyes out for you!"

Nero instantly backed away as he knew what Thales was capable of doing. He exhaled in relief when he saw the Princess with Thales. He’d be done for if she escaped.

Laurel watched Lady Zara’s retreating figure. She didn’t seem okay to her and she and Thales couldn’t hear what she had said to Nero. For a Lady of her status to walk alone in the morning with an empty gaze, all wasn’t well.

She and Thales continued walking along the nearly empty streets. It seemed to Laurel that lycans didn’t wake up early and opened their stores even later.

Only a handful of stores were opened and it’s been bright morning for almost three hours. "The cultures are really different here. Why did you pick High Moon to stay in?"

Thales turned to her, wondering if she referred to him or spoke out loud to herself. "Um... well... it’s by chance."

"Really?" Laurel asked further.

Thales stayed quiet before deciding to narrate the story. "You know the official at Damancas I had avoided?"

Laurel remembered clearly. The pretty lady dressed like a General that bored holes into Thales from the distance.

"The one you ran away from like a coward?" Laurel teased. Thales didn’t expect the informal tone but he was glad she felt that comfortable with him.

He nodded. "She’s the General of the Damancas Forces, along with her twin brother. Before their promotion, I had gone with her brother to a... lycan extermination."

He regretted speaking of the story when he remembered it had such a dark edge. He noticed the Princess’s body stiffened but she walked normally.

"Well, they were targeting entourages and if you heard from Zeldris, a similar group had targeted the one he had been." he added, to look less guilty.

Laurel breathed out, but didn’t understand why. If that’s the kind of extermination then it was like killing rogues.

She thought it had been unnecessary extermination like lycan hunters did. She’d never been a fan of lycan hunters who’d kill any lycan they see whether innocent or guilty.

"At that point," Thales looked up as he remembered, "we had been overwhelmed by these lycans and I since I didn’t max out any of my skills, it had been a hassle."

Laurel chuckled to that.

Thales smiled and continued. "I helped the living witches and warriors around me to safety but the General’s twin insisted that we finished it alone." His smile faded. "I had been convinced he was either crazy or had a plan."

Laurel could tell how it ended, so she finished comically. "You followed him but he didn’t have a plan and nearly got himself killed. You saved him and ran away?"

Thales shrugged. "More or less. It had been my biggest mission yet and I failed. Actually, I didn’t save him and he survived by his own strength. That’s why she..."

Laurel nodded, holding in her laughter. That’s why the General wanted to eat him alive for returning after leaving her brother to die and not finishing his mission.

Laurel waited for more, because it didn’t explain how he found himself at High Moon Kingdom, and only explained the reason why he didn’t plan to leave.

"I passed out while running and Lady Zara’s father, the Beta of High Moon, was on his way to kill those lycans due to their bad reports. He took me in, thinking I was a victim and let me work in his quarters after I told him I had no where else to go." Thales rounded it up.

Laurel didn’t expect the Beta to be nice to werewolves when the former Lycan Alpha King and the new Lycan Alpha King hated werewolves.

Or did it have to do with Lady Zara being a hybrid? "You know of Lady Zara being a half hybrid and half lycan, right?" she turned to Thales.

Thales stopped moving. "Did she tell you or you could sense it?" she’d always been insecure about it so he didn’t expect anyone to know. "Her mother had been a hybrid."

Which made Lady Zara more of a lycan, than hybrid, Laurel thought. Still, it seemed her werewolf part were a bit more dominant in the hybrid blood.

It showed that her mother’s parents consisted of a powerful werewolf and a basic ranked lycan.

Ranks affected genetics a lot and Laurel kept wondering when her father’s rumored destroyer’s genetics would catch up on her.
