Chapter 107: A dominant male does not shy away

" I will let the consort know that you are coming over to see him, just in case there is any repetition of tomorrow," said Dion as he bowed. He couldn’t believe it when Jesse told him that the fourth consort snuck out of the palace to go and have fun, though the fourth consort was albeit a bit weird and rude, he was in the end a royal prince and knew the basic etiquette of how to stay in the Royal palace as a consort. Never did he expect that the fourth consort would do something like that ——-staying out of the palace all night? He was lucky that the Dragon Queen is no longer the same as usual or she would have renounced her claim on him.

Even though the consorts were men, they were in the end the consorts of the Empress—- without her permission, they were not expected to leave the palace no matter what! What the fourth consort did last night was nothing but defying the rules and protocols set by the earlier generations.

If the first consort knew he would have given the fourth consort an hour of lecture including a punishment.

Bree didn’t say anything as Dion muttered under his breath, she knew that he must be angry because of what Cian did last night but she wasn’t, others might say that she was too lenient on the consorts but why would she disrupt the four men when she knew that she couldn’t spend time with them? As long as she could stay alive, she didn’t care what the four of them did. " Do you really have to be this angry? It’s just sneaking out, didn’t you use to do it when you were young?"

" No," Dion snorted without hesitation. " My kind might be ruthless and a bit out of the bounds but I can assure you, your majesty. I have never done something as sneaking out after hours."

Bree chuckled as she rounded the corner and walked out from behind the table. " Living your life a little is nothing to be punished for." She strode towards the door before turning to look at Dion who was following her, not happy with how easily the Queen was letting the fourth consort go despite him breaking the rule. " I heard that Duke Cilantro has sent another letter asking for the renewal of the tax bill."

Dion was still going on about how the consorts were supposed to stay in the palace without going out when he was interrupted by Bree. He paused for two seconds before cursing out loud. " He really has some nerve, you don’t know your majesty, that man actually sent the renewal of the tax inflation as if he is asking for candy from a toy shop. I wish I could have kicked him in the guts for doing something like this, how can he even have the courage to do something like this when he knows what he has done?"

Done with changing the topic from Cian to Duke Cilantro, Bree pulled opened the door and walked out of the room. Dion followed behind her as he relayed the contents of the letter that Duke Cilantro letter had.

Dominic knocked on the window of Cian’s balcony. " If you are not out in the next thirty minutes, I am going to do the interrogation on my own. It’s not like I can’t do it!" He yelled through the glass while plastering his face and everything against the large French window panes.

" I am almost done!" snarled Cian as he tried to gulp down his lunch as fast as he could, because he left to have a conversation with Cordelia, he was an hour late for his usual schedule. Who would have known that Dominic would come rushing telling him that the guy he caught last night was almost on the brink of death?

Now here he was rushing himself. This is what happens when one left their work to the last minute, anyway with this being the case, Mr Broody will be in a much chattier mood than he was last night, after all, he would have learned his lesson that though Cian looked harmless enough, he was nowhere as cute and bubbly as he looked —— or else he would have been ashamed to hell and back as an ex ace killer.

Dominic snorted but he jumped down the balcony leaving Cian to eat in peace but knowing his friend, Cian was sure that the man would be back in twenty minutes at most.

Cian poured himself a generous amount of juice once he realised that the rare steak today was really rare. He only took one sip when Jesse hurried inside the room with a placating expression on his face and motioned to the person behind him, Cian placed the glass of orange juice down and his body stiffened when he realised who the person following Jesse was, he expected his brother to come and see him again after hearing the rumours asking whether the Queen was pregnant with his child or not but the person who stepped in was none other than the Queen herself.

He felt a flare of excitement despite the anger that he has stomped on after much trouble and he did the same to the flare that lit up inside his body. She must be here as the Queen to ask about whether Cordelia agreed to her request or not ....unless someone told her about last night? No, there was no way, she would know about it. After all his brother was trying his best to hide the matter and he was sure that no one from his guild would do something as telling the Queen about what happened last night.

Cian braced himself for his siren to lunge at his surface the second Bree’s scent wafted over in his direction and locked his eyes with Bree who was striding towards him, graceful as ever. If he was to tell anyone that this was the same woman who tied him up last night and teased him, no one was going to believe him.
