334: IT WILL BE EASIER

IT WILL BE EASIER

The first thing that happened in the end of that day was; apparently all the people knew what happened in the palace, about the dark wisp and the black witch, who was trying to kill the alpha from the Howling Wolf pack. 0

Of course, the citizen was enraged. A black witch within the rank of the royal magic users was already a bad omen, not to mention, she tried to kill the alpha.

Though Cane didn't look as affable as prince Kellan, but they quite liked him, since he helped with the orphanage and had their respect for stepping up and ensured their safety.

The rumor that spread around the people was; the alpha readily shouldered the responsibility to find the lycan and the person who had cursed princess Osana, as he strengthened the protection around the capital city.

With that, Cane's name was way more favorable in the people's eyes than the king himself, as they knew the king was trying to hide the fact that the fourth prince had gone missing and the lycan had taken him away, especially when the king sowed discord with the Red Claw pack, in which would disturb the commerce of magic stone.

It would affect a lot of people, if the Red Claw pack stopped sending their magic stone.

In short, the public opinion was on the favor of Cane, as they disappointed in the king and the way he handled things.

"The public is in your favor, just like the way you wanted it." Ethan gave the latest report to the alpha. "This is even better than we expected."

Cane nodded. It was indeed better than they expected.

The two of them stood in front of the alpha and luna's chamber, as they talked about the situation right now.

Even though the king had tried to suppress the news about what happened this early morning, but of course, Cane had different thought. Now, he could gauge how much he had pulled the people's sympathy to his side.

"What Iris did also had helped to take the public to our side."

Cane raised his brows when he heard that.

"You don't know?" Ethan frowned and then clicked his tongue. "Ah! That damn king really had intercepted with our communication."

"Watch your word."

Ethan had gotten into trouble countless times because he couldn't filter his words and speak up what was in his mind. It was a good thing in some occasion, but if he was being so reckless, it would be the death of him some day. Cane wouldn't be able to solve every mishap that he did, thus he needed to learn how to restrain himself and sort his words.

If it was not for the fact the problem with the dark witch and the curse eclipsed his offense to the crown prince, the king must have made a big deal out of it by now.

"The luna taught all the children in the orphanage, she also taught the warriors. Common people started to come to learn and she try to make an arrangement for that, but with you got into trouble, this irked the people, because of course, the arrangement would be postponed."

Cane was surprised, though he didn't show it on his expression. He didn't expect that. He left her for less than two weeks, but she had caught people's heart way better than his effort in this past month.

Right at that time, Iris came out of the bedroom with Hanna, as she helped her missy to get into her dress, so Cane wouldn't need to deal with the laces and strings.

Iris was wearing a simple white dress with black cloak that could keep her from the cold weather. Her curly hair cascaded down her back, as Hanna made a simply half bun on top of her head.

With that, the conversation between Cane and Ethan stopped.

The alpha stared at his mate for a while and then took her hand, which felt so cold, she must be very nervous for what they were going to do. From the corner of his eyes, he could see how she started to clutch on her dress.

Cane squeezed her hand and this made Iris lifted her head to look at him. "You will be fine," he said in an assuring tone.

Meanwhile, Hanna and Ethan followed behind them.

"I am… afraid," Iris admitted. Her blue eyes dimmed as a furrow appeared between her brows and Cane smoothed it with his finger.

"You did a good job to stand up against the king earlier, this time will be easier."

Iris frowned, she blinked her eyes, trying to grasp the meaning of his word, but then she realized what he meant. "I thought you were unconscious!?"

So, he was awake? He knew what happened?

However, Cane said nothing and continued to walk with her, while Iris couldn't get anything out of him.

Halfway to the main hall, where everyone had been waiting for them, Redmond and Trion joined them. They just finished their task.

"I still can't understand. Don't you think it is very dangerous to expose Iris's ability?" Redmond frowned, as he talked in low voice to Ethan beside him, while Trion listening from beside the gamma.

"Almost all the people in the Howling Wolf pack and Blue Moon pack know that Iris can sense magic stone, do you think the news about it will not reach the king?" Ethan scoffed. The truth was; with the traitor within the pack, the king must have known about it already, therefore there was no need for them to conceal it.

It would be better to reveal such information in their own term. At least, that was how Cane had done things. The same way he led the public opinion about the appearance of the lycan.

"I don't think it's a smart move to let them know about it." Redmond was still stubborn with his opinion. He wanted Iris to gain her own power, but he didn't think this overexposure would benefit her.

Ethan rolled his eyes. "If the alpha has mean to expose it, he must have a plan in motion to deal with what will come and the consequences of his action."

"He put her in danger," Redmond said bluntly, he scoffed at the alpha. He knew Cane had a good head on his shoulder, but he used people too much and his mate was not an exception, yet Iris didn't know better.

"Truthfully speaking, we are all in danger." Ethan shrugged his shoulder nonchalantly. "Do you think by keeping her hidden it will help?" He scoffed derisively, which made Redmond growled. Trion grimaced because they started fighting again. "The alpha knows what he is doing."

And with the two of them bickering yet again, Cane and Iris entered the main hall, where they could see all the people in high status and the head of some privilege families in this capital.

But, what made Cane frowned slightly was the fact lady Cyan stood in stead of the queen. It was so rare for her to make an appearance in public and from the information that Cane gathered, she didn't like this kind of encounter.

Was it the king, who had ordered her to come?
