Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 178

Chapter 178: DAWN WAS BEING MISCHIEVOUS
“Will I get a baby as my compensation too?” King Rowan asked, amused by how elder Rio’s face turned red again. “Or will you offer that baby to me for a marriage alliance since king Zander rejected the little one? Poor little girl, having her little heart broke by an old king.”

Zander gave him a side glance. His expression concealed under his golden mask.

“We have prepared something more valuable for you, king Rowan.”

“More valuable than the granddaughter of the Holy Kingdom’s leader and the future leader?” King Rowan smirked. “I am touched.” He didn’t try to hide his intention to insult the elder and like before, elder Rio took everything well, which only made king Rowan to push his boundaries further.

“We have three fire magic stones for you, I heard that you are going to make a sword by using magic stone.” Elder Rio than rambled about how fire magic stone was way better than earth and water magic stone that king Zander possessed, especially when the price in the market had been incredulously high and the magic stone became so rare right now.

Magic stone was the life for magic user, since they couldn’t use their magic without it. Therefore, it pissed them off when king Zander stopped selling them, but that was different matter.

“Let king Rowan see the stones,” Elder Rio said to his servant to give the stones to the king.

A young girl stepped forward and brought a tray in her hands, three fire magic stones sat there beautifully.

As someone, who didn’t use magic, king Rowan didn’t really know the valuable of the magic stone, but he did know that these stones were pricey.

“I hope this can appease your anger, king Rowan, even though in my assumption, your knight shouldn’t have died in the first place.”

It was subtle, but you could hear the double meaning behind his words, as he wanted to get king Rowan to his side.

“It’s a very nice gesture of you,” King Rowan said, smiling as he received the stones.

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

“What did you say?” Dawn learned about elder Rio’s proposal and she was not in the slightest happy to hear that, she was livid, as she held Zade closely to her.

Her protective instinct toward her baby turned her scary.

“Are they stupid or something? What made them think that was a great proposal?” Dawn was pissed. They were talking about babies here.

However, a simple kiss on her forehead softened his edges. “You don’t need to worry about that.” Zenith caressed her cheek with his nose. “It will never happen.”

“I know you will not let that happened,” Dawn said, her voice was only a tad bit angry. “But, I am still upset.”

And Dawn made it sure those people from the Holy Kingdom knew how upset she was because the next two days, they got sick. They couldn’t stop defecating, to the point they couldn’t get out of the bed on the fifth day.

Even Celine didn’t know how to heal that and could only say that they must have caught something on their way here from Andel Kingdom, because it was only them, who were sick, despite the ate the same thing in the dining hall.

“Dawn, you are scary…” Darius lamented.

“I didn’t say anything,” Dawn said, as she played with Zade nonchalantly.

“Are you going to kill them next?”

Dawn looked at him innocently. “What a scary thing you said?” But, she didn’t look scary, which made the gamma shuddered.

“If one day I accidentally offended you in any way, lets have a nice chat, okay? I will correct my attitude.”

Dawn laughed at that.

“Don’t worry, Darius, you are so dear to my mate, I will not hurt you.”

“Why it sounded like a threat?”

Zenith was busy lately because of the battle hunt and the weird sickness that only plagued the people from the Holy Kingdom, but he would always spare his time to be with his mate and their baby.

He wouldn’t skip a dinner together, even though after that he had to leave again and Dawn really appreciated his effort.

Zander and Zenith must have known that it was her doing, but they didn’t call her out, neither they asked for her help to cure them. It seemed, having those people from the Holy Kingdom couldn’t do anything had lifted half of their trouble for the meantime, as they focused on another important matter.

Meanwhile, King Rowan spent his time more with Zaya. He asked her to take him around the city.

“Do we need to get you a carriage?” King Rowan asked when he approached her near the stable. She just visited her horse. It was quite a surprise for the king to know that she could ride one.

“There is no need,” Zaya said, as she walked toward the stable again to get her horse. “I will get my horse.” She didn’t want to be trapped in a small space with him.

“Where will you take me, princess?” king Rowan asked.

“You will make the sword from the magic stone, right? I will take you to meet with the blacksmith.”

“I will follow you everywhere you go.”

Addie stepped forward and whispered to him when Zaya gave him a look, as she walked toward the stable. “My king, you sounded very creepy.”

Zaya didn’t know why she agreed with this, but she felt a sense of duty to take him to look the city and more so, she couldn’t blatantly reject him, because no matter what, he was still the king.

He might be able to take one or two rejections, but if it hurt his ego, it would cause trouble for Zander. Zaya had caused trouble for them by not going back to Andel Kingdom and she knew Zander’s plan with this king.

“Let’s go,” Zaya said, as he rode her horse. Her horse looked delicate when it stood next to the king’s. Her white horse looked like a baby.
