Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 191

Chapter 191: WIN THIS BATTLE
Ever since in the beginning, Aurel didn’t intend to survive this whole fiasco, though the healer didn’t know about that. She was intended to be the sacrifice for this very reason.

“Now we have this knowledge, everything will be easy for us,” Jared said darkly. He didn’t look upset because their mission failed to get a hold of the whole kingdom, but it was not a big deal, since he had felt this was way too easy.

Zander must have come up with something and it was his mistake to walk straight into their traps.

But right now, it would be them, who would walk straight into his trap.

“Do you have plan in mind?” Vemion asked excitedly.

Meanwhile, Blake listened to the entire conversation, so did Lyra, as she tended to Archie, who was now unconscious.

“Of course.” Jared watched how Vemion looked at him expectantly, like a child, who was waiting to be given a candy. “Let them to kill each other.”

Lyra gulped down with difficulty when she heard about that, she looked at Blake, but his expression was unreadable, she couldn’t figure out what was in his mind, but she confronted him directly when he was alone.

After she healed Archie, she was sent out of the room, but she didn’t go back to her room and wait for Blake in the hallway, the moment he stepped out, she immediately approached him.

“Do you know what you have done?” Lyra asked him, she felt this pain in her heart that Blake turned out like this. She watched him and Dawn grew up and he used to be a sweet boy, who wouldn’t harm even to an insect. “You said you love Dawn, but you put her life in danger!”

Blake gave her a dagger look for her comment. “I know how to protect her. She will not be implicated.”

“You don’t know what you are doing, Blake. You have gone down the path of insanity now. You need to stop this. You will kill yourself if you kept going on with this.”

“I know what I am doing. Fuck off.” Blake pushed her away.

He was so mad. He felt like he was going to kill Lyra right there and then if she said another word about Dawn that he didn’t want to hear.

He was not going to let anyone to dictate what he was going to do. He knew he had walked down the right path.

After the hellish day, he returned back to his house to find his mother was staring at the window. He was not sure whether she was aware of the current situation, but he didn’t have time to figure that out.

“Where have you been?” Ava asked, she looked at her precious son with her dull eyes. “Where is Emily and Arren? Why they didn’t visit me again?” She wanted to see her grandchild, though she was in bad condition, she always cared about her grandson.

Blake didn’t answer that, he didn’t have the energy to engage in a conversation and explain, or even came up with a lie about Emily and Arren’s whereabouts, thus he went to his bedroom and close the door.

He thought, tonight he would have Dawn in his arms again, but from the look of it, he needed to wait for a little bit longer.

He hoped, it wouldn’t be long if Jared’s plan worked.

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

“You couldn’t attend the meeting, people will know that your wounds are still not healing yet,” Zaya said begrudgingly toward Zander, who wanted to hold an emergency meeting.

“Can’t wait, sister.” Zander leaned over and kissed Zaya’s cheek, in which she made a face of.

Zaya wiped the kiss from her cheek. “Can’t you knock some sense to his head?” She went to Zenith to get a support, but her other brother kissed her other cheek.

“He will be fine.”

Zaya huffed because even Zenith didn’t agree with her.

“Oh, it’s so rare for you to take my side, I will give a kiss!” Zander said childishly, but Zenith pinned him with an angry look.

“Touch me and I will make sure you will not get out of that bed.” Zenith’s expression hardened when Zander actually approached him, ready to kiss him.

The king halted in his step and looked at his royal gamma. “Did he just threaten a king?”

“Sometimes, I feel like I want to make a threat on you too, Zan. Let’s go.”

And with that, they went to the strategy room. The throne room was ruined and there were a lot of people, who worked on that.

Meanwhile, on their way to the throne room, they met with king Rowan. “I think you owed me an explanation here, king Zander.”

Zander’s expression was hidden behind his golden mask, but he gestured for the other to walk ahead. He would catch up with them later.

“My sincere apology for what happened today, king Rowan. We didn’t expect to be attacked like this, but you don’t need to worry, we have tripled the security around the palace and the city, you can sleep well tonight.”

“I don’t think I can sleep well when my dignity is wounded.”

It would be too naïve for Zander if he believed Rowan would buy his excuse, both of them knew about that, but to argue about it, it would only waste everyone times.

More so, ditching them in the battle hunt was rather rude.

“Are you trying to proof your point here that you didn’t need my help to deal with the people from the Holy Kingdom and the dragon sect because of my proposal to your sister?”

“You read too much into it,” Zander replied lightly. “You are still my guest in this continent. I feel bad because your experience in this continent is ruined because of this, but I will not put a guest into a crossfire within the internal affair.”

“What if I took their side? It didn’t seem you are going to win this battle.”
