Chapter 109: Wake up Dion

Jesse moved Dion to the couch in the room, everyone could still his—— ’how dare you’, ’ the pride of a knight!’ And other mumblings as he lay unconscious on the couch. Bree shot a glimpse to her overtly angry aide and then turned to look at her fourth consort. " What’s going on?"

A sheepish expression came over Dominic’s face as he turned to look at an angry Cian. " I am sorry, I didn’t know that you were still having lunch with your wife."

Cian only angrily glared at him before heaving a huge breath and then turning his attention to Bree before motioning his hands towards Dominic. " He is my friend."

Bree stared at Dominic——flaming red hair and that obnoxious grin, she didn’t even have to smell his scent of white oleander, wormwood and bitter almonds to know who he was, with an arched brow, she asked, " A cockatrice? Is your friend?"

" Hey there what’s with that look?" Dominic raised his hands, looking at Bree with a condescending expression. " I might be a cockatrice but you have those bloody basilisks here, I don’t see you looking down at them, is it because of my animal form? I tell you, it might look like chicken but it’s bloody majestic."

She listened to what Dominic had to say before smiling at Cian. " Your friend huh?"

Cian covered his face and stomped on Dominic’s feet. " Shut up, stop talking!"

" But she is looking down on me——"

" I said shut up!"

Dominic pouted with a huff, then turned his head away from Cian. But Cian didn’t have time to pay attention to him, he and his siren were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, Dominic was notorious for his killings and with him being a cockatrice that was hard to find in the Empire, he was worried that Bree might realise who Dominic was and if she cottoned on Dominic’s identity then it wouldn’t take long for her to figure out his identity as well, something that he didn’t want to happen.

With a hard swallow, he smiled at Bree. " You seem to be very interested in my friend, your majesty. Are you coming in down with love for me?" This was how he always shook Bree off his back, he would start talking about love and she would leave his room in a huff but this time it was different, Bree not only did not get offended instead she turned to him with a bemused expression. " No, I am not ... but I also haven’t seen you with your friends, Cian. Anyway, would you mind telling me why your friend came inside the palace by climbing its walls instead of simply announcing his arrival?"

Cian felt annoyed, even though he was happy somewhere for her sudden attention to him but right now, not so much. He would rather take the previous Queen at the moment, with her stoic and ’ I can’t care less about you’ attitude. " I and Dominic are going to the fair in the town, your majesty...there is a small fair going on in the downtown of the capital. I want to go there and have a little fun."

" Without the permission of your Queen?"

" I can’t?"

" No you can," said Bree, her eyes flickering with a glimmering shine. " But the bottom line is that you don’t come back with another swelling on your face."

Damn. She was only saying something out of politeness and he was already ready to blurt out every secret of his to her. He could see that Bree wasn’t believing what he was telling her but she was willing to humour him. Did she not trust him still? It scared him just how much he wanted to earn her trust now. It wasn’t like this before, he didn’t care if she trusted him or not.

Shooting her a wink, Cian cooed. " Oh your majesty, don’t be so sweet or I won’t be able to leave."

"Will you now?" She asked with an arched brow.

" Well not exactly but whatever," with a casual shrug, he dropped his antics. Why was the Queen not following the act? She should have walked out of the room asap!

Bree studied his expression, her gaze was so inquisitive that she was almost making him squirm. Thankfully, he was used to such things and kept his expression perfectly blank with a smile as he stared back at her.

Two minutes passed like that before Bree broke the gaze and said, " Okay, if you want to leave then you can. But make sure to return before eight."

"What is he? A toddler?" muttered Dominic under his breath but Bree and Cian both ignored him. Cian looked at Bree with confusion, he was prepared to write an application along with an apology letter but she allowed him to leave just like that. What was going on in her head?

" I can really leave, your majesty?" asked Cian looking a bit bewildered with how the proceedings were going.

" Yes, you can," answered Bree as she turned to look at Dominic and added, " I will leave the safety of my fourth consort in your hands then."

"Like he needs anyone to keep him safe——" the rest of his words were drowned when Cian elbowed him in the ribs.

Bree scrunched up her brows. " Did he say something?"

" Not at all just how beautiful you look, your majesty," then Cian pulled Dominic by his elbow and bowed to Bree before dragging the man out of the room. Bree watched the two leave before turning to Jesse, he was sitting beside Dion, his long ears twitching with nervousness upon being left alone by the Queen.

" Jesse?" called Bree as she smiled at him causing shivers to roll down Jesse’s spine.

" Your...Your majesty?" With a squeak, Jesse got up from the couch and hurriedly bowed to Bree.

" Please get me a glass of water," still smiling Bree ordered lightly making Jesse look up at her in surprise as he dumbly said, " Pardon?"

" A glass of water if you?"

Jesse looked at the jug that was empty on the table and nodded before going out of the room, once he was gone and Bree was certain that he was a good distance away from the room, she dropped her smile and turned to Dion. " Wake up Dion."
