Chapter 695 - SHE IS YOUR QUEEN

At first Lilac didn't notice his touch as her mind was thinking about how it would be nice if she could talk with Jedrek as easy as she talked to Tordoff.

But, then she realized it when Tordoff's fingers brushed her cheeks and caressed her jaw. Lilac frowned and slightly jerked away from him as she looked at the general questioningly.

"Dirt," Tordoff answered, but he avoided her eyes when he lowered his hand. "Why don't you go back inside? It is getting cold in here."

Lilac cleared her throat to get rid the awkwardness in the air when she replied to him casually. "Why? Are you cold? Afraid of getting sick?"

"Of course, not. We, shifter, can stand even the worst weather without getting sick." Tordoff chuckled. "But, you will get sick if you stay out for long time."

"Glad to hear that your kind has strong body," Lilac scoffed and rolled her eyes dramatically, but it only made Tordoff laughed even louder.

"Come on, I will escort you back to your room." Tordoff stood up and held out his hand to help Lilac, which she accepted it gladly and both of them walked back to the castle, talking and laughing upon hearing the other person lame jokes.

Away from them, behind the blurry window of one of the rooms, Jedrek watched everything that unfolded with emotionless expression.

This was not the first time Jedrek watched Tordoff walked Lilac back to her chamber and it wouldn't be the last either.

"The people who had lost their family member demanded explanation from their King." Eaton reported this news to Jedrek. "You had killed many of their family members and rumor about it had spread like a wild fire."

"Rumor will only be a rumor," Jedrek replied, he shifted his attention from the small garden to Eaton.

"People will start to believe the rumor if don't do anything about it." Eaton pressed this matter. "Especially if there is some truth behind this."

============== 

"I don't believe it we finally met," Hope said. She put the blanket for both of them and laid down beside Raine.

"So do I," Raine agreed. "Serefina said it was not the right time for us to meet when I knew there are another guardian angels."

"Serefina told me the same thing." Hope pouted. "Oh, right. You said that you had seen me before this, but where?"

"I have a vision," Raine told her and she chuckled when she watched Hope's eyes grew bigger. "I saw you and the other guardian angel in my vision."

"Really? That is so cool!" Hope squalled. "How do the other guardian angels look like?"

"She is… beautiful, like you." Raine smiled and Hope laughed.

"Of course, it is impossible for us to be handsome," She said.

"Girls sleep! It's past midnight!" Kace shouted from outside of the tent.

"Leave us alone! It's girls night!" Hope shouted back at him and both of them could hear Kace grunted and groaned while stomping away.

It seemed tonight would be long, but like what Kace said, they needed sleep. When Raine felt very tired after what happened, Hope still hadn't fully recovered from her condition.

Thus after a few more conversation, both of them fell asleep soundlessly.

============== 

"Lilac, I am sorry, I think we have to postpone our plans to go to the city." Tordoff found Lilac near the small garden when he had made a promise to take her to the city last night.

"Why?" Lilac asked him, disappointment was apparent in her eyes. She needed distraction and being trapped inside the castle without knowing what was happening outside was a little bit frustrated.

She had been thinking about went out to the city when Tordoff offered to take a walk there, but now h said he couldn't?

Lilac was up early to plan for the day, she was so excited and now Tordoff said they needed to postpone their plan?

"The king gave me an order to catch up with Sebastian and Kyle to find Maximus." Tordoff also felt disappointed because of this sudden order, but what else could he do? "Maybe, I will be back next week, how about we leave after I come back?"

Lilac lowered her eyes to hide her discontentment. "Actually, I can go alone."

"No, you don't know this city," Tordoff rejected Lilac's idea immediately. He didn't want her to roam around the city alone.

"When we were still in city central, I assure you I was fine, even when I went there alone," Lilac said confidently.

"No, just wait for my return and we will go there together," Tordoff insisted for Lilac to go with him. However, their little conversation was disturbed when the general someone approached them.

Tordoff tilted his head toward the direction, which Jedrek would appear and was slightly frown.

"Your Majesty," he greeted Jedrek and lowered his head in respect to his King.

Lilac immediately turned around to see Jedrek, but avoided to see his eyes when he walked over with Lyrus next to him.

"I believe you was given an order," Jedrek spoke rigidly, staring intensely at Tordoff when he noticed how close Tordoff stood beside Lilac.

"Apologize your Majesty, I will go now," Tordoff grinded his teeth with displeasure.

"I will walk with you. Come on." Lyrus took the initiative to bring the general out of this awkward situation. He signaled Tordoff to follow him.

Reluctantly, he followed the Beta after took another glimpse at Lilac, who was still looking toward different direction.

"Walk with me," Jedrek said.

And that was the last thing that Tordoff heard before they turned down the corridor. He didn't know, whether Lilac agreed or not.

"Don't have any idea about her," Lyrus spoke in warning tone.

"What?" Tordoff looked at the Beta. "Who?"

"Lilac, the guardian angel." Lyrus stopped walking and faced him.

Tordoff knew what he meant, but he couldn't see there was something wrong with that. "Why?"

"Because the guardian angel is your king's mate and she will be your queen."
