Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 179

Chapter 179: A BLISSFUL LIFE
They went to the blacksmith together and Zaya gave the man the three fire magic stone to be blended with the steel.

“Do you think it will be the most powerful sword?” king Rowan asked, as he watched the stones and the steel blended in a blazing temperature.

“I don’t know. I think it will be the same like the other sword, since you are not a magic user,” Zaya said and the king smiled anyway though he could hear the sarcasm in there.

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

“I am hungry. I want to eat,” Zaya said simply and then turned around to smile at him. “I will introduce you to our continent’s delicacy.”

King Rowan watched her back and talked something to the blacksmith before he followed her. This woman was special. He could feel that. She was a perfect queen for his kingdom and he wouldn’t let her go.

Not when he had a way to bargain with her brother.

And with that, the two of them went to the restaurant that Zaya chose. This was a nice restaurant and thankfully, they were wearing a simple clothing, which didn’t let other people to know that they were someone important. They looked like a merchant woman and a very big male shifter.

Zaya wore her hoodie over her head of course, because her auburn hair would give away her identity very easily.

“Do you like the soup?” Zaya asked, as she watched how king Rowan knitted his brows.

Based on what Zaya knew, Marca El continent’s delicacy was rather tasteless. The omegas in the kitchen would tone down their spices for them, thus there would be a lot of more dishes on the table right now.

However, the soup that Zaya ordered for the king, since he was the one, who asked her to do so, was nothing, but… strong. It had strong spices. If you were not used to it, it could make your tongue felt like it was burned.

It was a testament for his taste buds.

Yet, he kept his smile plastered on his lips. “Good. This is how you like your soup?”

“Yes,” Zaya replied. She gave him the same harmless smile too.

“I will get used to it soon.” King Rowan nodded and this was not how Zaya wanted it to be.

When they talked about trivial thing, Zaya’s eyes flickered at four men, who were sitting two tables from her. She recognized two of them, but she was not sure with the other two.

“Someone that you knew?” king Rowan caught on her expression.

“Yes.” Zaya nodded. “People from the Holy Kingdom, but I am not sure with the other two.”

“Do you want to come over and ask?”

Zaya narrowed her eyes. “And then they will spill their conversation willingly?”

“We can ask them nicely.” King Rowan winked at her and Zaya felt like she wanted to shove down the soup down his throat. “Or… we can tail them and figure out what they wanted.”

“They may only catch up with someone that they knew here.” Zaya sighed.

“But, the look on your face said otherwise. You are curious, right?”

Zaya stared at him. This king knew how to evoke your curiosity… this was not good, because she was a curious person to begin with and he was right… she felt something was off with the way they talked with each other.

With that, they followed the two people, who were talking to the other two people from the Holy Kingdom once they were done with the conversation and took different route.

“I am not sure we can tail them like this without them noticing us first.”

“Why? You don’t have confidence to do that?”

Zaya turned to look at the king. “You are very tall, big and bulky for anyone to not notice you, that’s why king Rowan, you can go back to the palace first. I think I will accompany you to see the city later.”

“You can do magic, right? Use it.”

“I can turn you into a frog.”

King Rowan smirked. “Will you hide me under your dress?”

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

Dawn woke up because she felt the bed was empty and found Zenith was not there. She looked groggy, but she knew where Zenith was. This was not the first time.

Dawn got off the bed and took her cloak, she went to the nursery room and there he was. The alpha was standing next to the window, which the moonlight filtered into the room.

Zenith basked in the soft light of the moon, as he talked to his son. She couldn’t hear what he was talking about, but Zade giggled.

Their son would wake up around this hour and somehow, Zenith would know, thus he sacrificed his sleeping time which was not much, to entertain their son.

‘I rarely could see him at day, it’s good enough he gave me some time at night.’

That was what Zenith said that he didn’t need to wake up, because Dawn was worried, since he didn’t have enough sleep.

“There you two,” Dawn said, as she waltzed into the room and approached the two of them. Zenith smiled at her and showed the baby, who giggled to see his mother. “What are you two talking about?”

Dawn kissed Zade’s ruddy cheeks and then the big bad alpha.

“A lot of things,” Zenith replied. “Mostly talking about how lucky he is to be born from a beautiful woman like you.”

“I don’t know that you can say something so cheesy like that.” Dawn rested her head against his arms and stared at their son.

Dawn felt blissful with her life right now and her previous life felt like a dream, something that she only remembered in passing, though the evidence that she knew about poison was the hard proof that it really happened.

She wished this happiness would last for long.

The next day, they learned new information about the west.
