Chapter 124: Sneaking in her palace

" She may or may not have caught me almost kissing that maid," said Cian knowing that he wouldn’t be able to hide anything from Yakov, the man was nosy as hell and his spying skills were something that even he had to take his non-existent hat off for. If he wanted Yakov might as well get a good hold of what the Devil was hiding in the hell —— hiding a secret from him when he was bent on finding out was simply impossible and what was more Yakov was one hell of an interrogator. He was quick in making people slip up when he wanted to.

" She what?" Yakov stood up from the couch that he was sitting on and stared at Cian as if he lost his mind. " Are you serious? For real? You actually kissed that maid when your mate was right next to you?" Yakov felt like Cian must have gotten his brains filled with water, or else how can he do something like kissing the maid, in the middle of the streets when Bree was there as well? And even if she wasn’t there, kissing a woman other than his mate in public would bring unnecessary bad publicity to the Royal family. " Do you have any idea what you have done?"

" Maybe, if you were paying attention to what I said, then you would have heard the word ’almost’ stuck between somewhere," rolling his eyes, Cian crossed his legs and folded his arms and sneered. " Won’t be the first time you didn’t listen to a thing that I have to say anyway, keep your fluffy tail on, I didn’t do anything that you think —— I might have been on verge of kissing her but I didn’t do that, I pulled back before my lips could touch hers."

Yakov spun his head to look at Cian with an exasperated look on his face. " You have to be kidding me, you think saying things like that you almost kissed her changes anything? You were caught and that’s what matters the most, you hear me?"

Cian let out an exaggerated sigh as he pulled on an ’ I can’t believe you’ expression on his face and then tilted his head back slightly before saying, " Yeah blame it all on me, like I was the one who got that girl out of nowhere and came up with a brilliant plan of replacing the Queen with her." Kicking off his chair, he came to stand on his feet before taking three steps closer to Yakov and raising his hand to point at Yakov and said, " Before throwing stones at my house you better get a good look at what you have built, if not for you creating unnecessary trouble, do you think that I would be in this mess today."

Annoyance flashed in Yakov’s eyes as he looked at Cian and said, " I did what was important for the Empire, the Queen was in no condition to rule and I couldn’t allow her to destroy what she has created, I had no other choice, don’t you know that?"

"Oh please, I don’t really care whether you were doing it for the Empire or yourself, all I know is that this trouble named Harley was brought by you and you should be the one taking care of her as well," closing the distance between the two of them, Cian stared at Yakov right in the eyes. " Because whether you know it or not, that woman’s ambition has grown far too much for us to control. If you don’t put an end to her actions, I am afraid that she will become far more problematic than she already is."

" I told her that she will be only a puppet Queen," said Yakov taking a step back with a stern expression on his face.

" People only listen to what they want to, my dear first consort," with a charming smile, followed by an eye roll, Cian turned around and walked back to his chair where he took a seat and picked up the wine glass that was sitting on the table. " You might have been very clear for her but what if she believes that she can change your mind? I mean there are a lot of women who believe that they can be a fixer."

" Of course with your experience with women, you would know what kind of woman that maid is," said Yakov with a contemptuous smile. " However, I will be thankful if you keep your habits at bay now that you are no longer what you are and in case you still wish to be the toy of women, you might as well walk out of the palace with your own feet."

Then without giving Cian another glance, he walked out of the room. Cian watched him go with a blank expression before snorting, " That man is still as stuffy as ever."

Cian could have of course told Yakov about Harley whose omega vibes were getting a lot more stronger than before but he chose to keep it to himself, currently, he had no evidence that would prove that he was speaking the truth and there might be a possibility that Yakov might take his words as nothing but an excuse given his past.

Letting out a sigh, he sucked in a breath. " Who would have thought that having a dirty past would create trouble for me in the future." His gaze darted to the door that was not closed before he snorted. " Though it’s not like they kept themselves pure."

" The bond grows stronger than ever, my lord." A figure in a cloak walked to the dark pit in the dimly late cave. " I am afraid the one we chose isn’t apt for what we asked her to do."

For two minutes there was only silence before the ground rumbled and a deep voice filled the entire pit. " The shell is at most a shell, let her do what she can before I take over her, given the curse that damned woman placed on me, it’s hard to find a compatible body, for now, it’s better for me to stay where I am and let that shell do what it wants."

"My lord, do we really have to do this?" asked Jesse as he supported Cian up on his shoulders, as his master tried his best to climb over the wall of the Dragon palace. " Can’t you just send word to her majesty and ask her to see you? If not you can even try sending a letter to her."

" That woman is not even ready to see us, do you think that if I was to knock on her door like a good little husband, she will open the door for me?" questioned Cian with a snort. " You don’t need to think so much about it, if anything just try your best to keep holding onto your magic and don’t let the shield close down again, all right?"

The Dragon palace was covered in dome-like mana energy that blocked strangers from trespassing, of course with their aides who have magic beyond the other mages, the consorts never had a hard time climbing over the wall except for feeling extremely embarrassed and nothing else.

" I am trying my best, my lord but you have to hurry as well, we can’t let anyone see us or else they will alert the Queen and she will improve the shield once again." With legs that were trembling down to boots, Jesse somehow managed to push Cian over the wall and as soon as his master jumped off the wall, Jesse slid down, feeling like he has drank another twenty bottles of alcohol. " Hah, what was I thinking when I gave the exams to become an aide? I should have just focused on baking and opened a shop in the town."

With a low thump, Cian landed on the ground and immediately hid behind the tree when he heard someone coming in his direction.

" The alcohol in the Gracious Inn is something else, you have to admit that its absolutely breathtaking, one gulp and I am lost——"

" You are right, though it’s a bit pricey the taste and madam Rosemary is one to make up for the money that we spend there... Heh, I wonder what kind of song Madam Rosemary is going to sing tonight."

"Let’s go and find out, anyway our duties are almost over."

Cian peered out of the tree where he was hiding and looked at the knights that were heading out of the palace before their shifts ended and clicked his tongue. " If one day the Empire is attacked these people will be more of a baggage than help, I should tell that stupid leech to improve the quality of the exams that he takes just look at that —— no sense of responsibility at all." Though that was what Cian said, he took full advantage of their lack of attention and sneaked inside the castle heading towards the wing where Bree lived.

" At least the moon is still the same as ever," commented Bree while looking at the moon that was shining brightly up in the sky and smiled. She heaved a breath before turning around to walk to her table, she still had some work left from earlier when there was a low thump on her balcony’s window, frowning she turned around and looked at the pink-haired idiot who was standing outside.

P.s:noticed the less powerstones and lost my motivation to continue, just wait for me to pick up myself.
