They reached the outer area of the castle where Felix had first arrived with his mates and settled in front of Chan on the horse.

This once it was a state carriage that had Felix standing rooted in his spot surprised, both at its ornate beauty and at the fact that he was supposed to be riding it alone!

The royal horses, which he now recognized as his mates, had specifically gold-lined saddles. And because they stood out from the horses that were harnessed to the carriage, Felix knew his mates would be riding and he'd be following them in the carriage.

The state carriage, boring intricate engravings and delicate filigree, stood under the early morning sun, glimmering on its sturdy big wheels, a body of silver, adorned with a crown of gold on top.

Drawing it, were four horses, magnificent as they were, no less than the ones for the alphas, they had harnesses of gold and silver to go along with.

Felix turned to glance at Yeonjun, who stood right beside him.

'Will you be coming with me?'

'I'm afraid I can't. I would love to ofcourse, but I'll be going with Soobin until-'

'You'll be traveling with Felix, Yeonjun. We trust his closest security right now only with you. Soobin will be with us in the rear along with the rest of the inner council.'

At Chan's voice, Felix turned around, having his breath taken away by the mere sight of the alpha, the king was in front of him.

Chan wore similar shades, a crisp black coat with no shirt inside, with an emerald green mantle attached to one shoulder. The cufflinks were in a similar striking shade of green, with black trousers to follow by. Barechested underneath, Felix looked back up at his face.

The male wasn't wearing make-up per se nonetheless Felix could make out that he had had his hair styled.

Breathless as he was, Felix also didn't miss the way Chan's gaze lingered on him all the while he spoke to Yeonjun, and once the ginger-head omega forwarded to check with Soobin seemingly sensing he needed to give privacy to the mates, Felix felt his breath catch up in his throat as Chan took a step closer,

'Are you perhaps aware or ought I remind you, that you look stunning today?'

'I won't mind having to be reminded of that once in a while, only if I can say the same for you, Channie.'

Chan breathed out lowly, the nerves slipping through only for Felix to catch on. The omega wasn't going to lie, he was enjoying his effect on the alpha.

'Chan hyung-'

Chan hummed, not looking away in the slightest except Felix did, peering over his shoulder for he hadn't realized, the alpha's broad shoulders had been shielding him from the view of the male who stood behind.
