The Masked Royal

The Kalani Heir

Every eyes in the great hall turned to the king as they waited for the kings reaction to the boldness of the heir of Araceli.

Aedion just continued to smile while waiting for the king to speak and everyone are just gaping in anticipation although they are unsure if they will believe what the heir of Araceli have said.

The kings two sons looked at each other with their knowing look before they intently look at the kings face for any truth of what the Araceli heir claimed.

"Indeed I am not unwell, this is the first time for quite a long while that I feel great" the king suddenly sit up straight and spoke with his usual commanding voice even in his old age.

The kings two sons gasped in utter shock together with the rest of the council. They were all stunned from their seats except for the entourage from Rieka.

"I dont know what kind of magic is this but I felt great after a long while of being muddled" the king exclaimed happily.

"Its Errapel the healer my king" Aedion proudly exclaimed while gesturing towards Errapel.

The king turned to Errapel with his scrutinizing eyes and showed his warm smile after a few moment.

"Thank you Errapel the healer but I thought..." the king gratefully said his thanks but got a little flusttered after.

"Its my great honor my king" Errapel bowed down low feeling so humbled by the kings gratefullness towards him.

"My King" alpha Nason and alpha Otis kneeled with their heads bowed low beside the king.

"Find your seat alpha Nason, alpha Otis" the king turned to them and commanded which was readily obeyed by the two alphas.

"We are so happy that you are well father, our king" alpha Nason exclaimed with a nervous smile when they are seated among the council.

"Yes I suddenly felt great. Now, lets attend to the situation at hand. Its nice to see you again alpha Quinn and omega Ariella, you have such wonderful sons and their mates" the king turned to the great alpha of Rieka and his family.

"We are honored and so happy to see you well again your grace" alpha Quinn genuinely expressed to the king while they are all kneeling together with the rest of the council members.

The king turned to Aedion who is still kneeling beside Liam with their joined hands.

"Rise all of you, this is just an ordinary meeting with my most loyal subject, great alpha Quinn of Rieka" the king announced with a warm smile.

Everyone returned to their seats and the kings eyes focused on Aedion who is tightly clutching Liams hand on his.

"Aedion of Araceli" the king mumbled and seemed to be playing the words in his mouth while trying to remember something.

"Yes my king" Aedion bowed to pay his respect.

"How old are you again?" the king asked curiously.

"I am 18 my king" Aedion responded with a warm smile and the king gently nodded his head repeatedly.

"Have you been treated well in Rieka?" the king asked with his casual tone.

"Yes, my king. I am considered a family to Rieka" Aedion answered politely.

"Did you asked to be marked?" the king added with his casual conversational tone.

"Yes, my king. Alpha Liam is my mate and I love him so much" Aedion explained cheerfully that he cannot hide the happiness that he feel that even Liam also gave out a reserved smile when he saw his omega's expression.
