Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 146

Chapter 146: WRONG PLACE TO TOUCH
Ogregon continent was the place where shifters lived, where they mined magic stones, the only continent that could provide the magic stone for the magic users and healers.

Andelus continent was where the Holy Kingdom was, the place where magic users came from, most of the people there knew how to perform magic and Karam continent was the place where most people there was a merchant.

The three continents had a long history and they relied on each other to keep the economy in each place going.

But Marca El continent was different place entirely. They lived alone and fulfilled their own need. They didn’t interact much with the other continent and only recently they were a little bit more open with different culture and explored different places, ever since their new king sat on the throne.

“I have never seen people from Marca El continent before.” Dawn stared at the letter that was sent from the palace, it bore the king’s stamp and sounded very formal.

“Actually, their representative attended our ceremony. Do you remember a tall man with earpiece on his left ear? He was wearing an armor.”

“Oh, yes. I remember.” His armor stood out, Dawn could recall him easily.

“Marca El, is the place of the knight, so what they said.” Zenith then told her a little bit information about that continent.

Because there were so many civil wars there, all the people there knew how to fight, including women and children. They were taught how to use weapon from a very young age.

Rumor said, they could use anything as a weapon, even a stick of wood.

“What is Zander’s plan with them?”

Zenith was not sure. He had lost in touch with Zander related the affair in the palace. He had told him to leave him out of it at least for a year or two and despite his twin protest, Zander didn’t bother him much, until now…

“I am not sure.”

It seemed, there were a lot more for Zenith to catch up after leaving the capital for half a year.

==============================

“Zander, you pissed them off,” Zaya reminded Zander again. “You stopped selling magic stone in the market.”

Zander had been doing this for three months now after he established a new regulation. Because he stopped selling magic stone, the price of magic stone in the market skyrocketed, because the demand was way more than the market could provide.

The magic stone became rare because the king refused to sell them.

“What is your end goal with this?”

“Is it obvious?” Zander put on his golden mask and looked at Zaya, who had been hounding him, demanding an explanation.

“You are upset that they will not do anything to Aurel even after we proved that she used black magic? We know their hypocrisy.”

“Also because they have been asking for you to return to Holy Kingdom. This is your homeland, you are not going back there, unless you wanted it too and that woman will not leave this continent until Holy Kingdom compensated me for what she had done.”

The Holy Kingdom refused to take responsibility for what Aurel had done and instead, asking her to return, so they could punish her.

It sounded fair, but there would always be an underlying meaning behind it.

They wanted to kill Aurel once she reached Holy Kingdom to eradicate any proof that she colluded with black magic that could tarnish their name.

If they wanted to kill Aurel without taking any responsibility of her action, Zander was way more than capable of doing so.

It would be better for Zenith to kill her, so he could get the information out of her.

But the problem was; if they killed Aurel now, it would give the Holy Kingdom a ground to demand compensation from Zander.

Word could be twisted and war could be weighed. It was more complicated than it seemed, especially now when the magic stone involved.

If they couldn’t buy from them, it would be most likely they snatched it from them.

The tension was so great at the court and the five elders had been very hostile in every meeting. Zander was so close to kick them out.

“You will create problem with the Holy Kingdom,” Zaya stated.

“They had been colluding with my dirty councils for years, having illegal transaction of black magic behind my back and did all the things to bring me down from the throne, so they could have more access to the magic stone.” Zander leaned his back against the arm rest. “If there was someone created a problem first here, it would be them.”

They thought, by putting Zenith on the throne, they would have more access to their magic stone, since Zenith was ‘their people’, little did they know every contention between him and Zander were all staged.

“After all, this is not the first time Holy Kingdom people tried to invade our kingdom.” Zander stared at the fireplace grimly.

Zaya understood what he meant.

===============================

At first, Zenith didn’t want Dawn to come with him, but a letter from Zaya came and she specifically asked for her to come to the capital city, because there was something she wanted to discus with her about the poison.

And from the sound of it, this was really important.

Dawn had felt it from the beginning that sooner or later, she would be tangled in this matter. She couldn’t truly wash her hand from this.

Therefore, she decided to persuade Zenith to take her to the capital city.

“Your method will not work,” Zenith said darkly when Dawn tried to seduce him to let her come with him.

Her attempt was actually very adorable because Zenith didn’t think she knew what she was doing when she peppered kisses on his neck and caressed his hair.

“You touch me in the wrong place, Dawn.” Zenith then took her hand away from his hair down to his crotch, which made Dawn widened her eyes and blushed.
