Chapter 199 - The Palace
Cassandra placed the handset on the receiver a bit forcefully. She was completely annoyed. It was not easy to be the representing Queen especially when it was her very child who was creating mistakes.
She sighed harshly and stirred up from her chair only to work into the office of the King that was currently her husband.
It was not easy and it was showing on her husband's face that it was tiring him out. She now understands why her son was always working.
"Javier," she said, only to be welcomed with open arms and a tired smile on his face.
"My recharge is here," he said as we gathered her in his arms, "just sit there." She side and content as she placed herself on his lab and her head on his shoulder.
"Xavier is creating trouble."
She heard him Chuckle, "I think a boy can enjoy a few privileges he seems as the future king—"
"With adaline," she completed and further added, "I understand that he has privileges and no one is stopping him from them but when Augustus's parents call me and tell that they have had a fight where the entire school can hear them it is not something."
He sighed again, " Yes, my mate. It is not normal. But we also cannot do anything about it. It does not help that the girl is human and that none of them are talking it out."
"Lock them up in a room?" She jokingly suggested.
His chest vibrated as he laughed. "I would love that but I don't think it would work in their favour." If there was any other couple that belonged to their supernatural community they would be mated and would have solved it within moments.
"Do you know what Adeline did?" Javier hummed in question. "She actually told him to grow up."
He scoffed, "I would have loved it if the girl said to grow some balls instead but I get it. Adaline is rather a gentle soul and it was about time she snapped." He shook his head, "I do not listen to be old council but they are not happy."
Cassandra growled slowly, "I do not think we should be afraid. It is not like that can cause an uprising or that they can overthrow us."
"Do not underestimate anyone Cassandra." Her mate replied immediately, "I am not underestimating those old souls. They have seen the world more than we have and might have connections we are not aware of."
Cassandra nodded slowly, the wheels in her head moved. "I think I will place the maids in their department to know what they are talking about."
And that is when she remembered what happened in some part of the history.
"What if. . ." She stopped and closed her eyes with some courage, this was very difficult to say, "you know that history is the evidence that human luna are not easy to tame. What if the council drills it into the mind of Xavier to take her forcefully and make her submit?"
Javier's grip tightened on her lip. It was nothing painful to her. She had had more painful grips than this by him.
He spoke up after a while, "We have not raised him like this Cassandra. Xavier won the competition from his brother because he could use his mind better."
She pulled back and looked at him. "When it concerns a person's mate and the beast goes feral I do not think a person can use the brain anymore." She stated the fact. "You don't know that there have been many alphas in different parts of the world that have to be put down by their own pack because they lost their mate or never found one."
"The bitter truth." He muttered before patting her head and indicating how to get up.
Cassandra moved away, "do you think we should talk to him when he comes home?"
He shook his head, "the boy was the king for almost a year and I can see how well he managed it. Everything is detailed and micromanaged. I do not think that we need to talk to him about this."
"What?" She hissed, tired of it all, "Javier there is a game of cat and mouse being played around by these two. None of them want to step up and today when she was talking to him politely and calmly, he insulted her first."
"Then she can insult him next time." Her mate offered only to make her gape at him. "Do not look at me like that, my love. It is only fair that she'll torch back with what he has. They are equal after all." He shrugged.
Javier always wanted a daughter but he had been blessed with two sons. Now that he had received another daughter he was not going to let her bow down to two Alpha males that he called his sons.
Sure there were going to be ups and downs in the relationship but as his son ever missed behaved that he wanted his daughter to miss behave right back.
They moved out of the office and held hands together as they started walking to the dining table to have dinner.
Javier held her hand as she placed her head on his shoulder and asked, "have you reached somewhere with the nathaniel situation?"
He did not reply immediately and she closed her eyes. This was not good.
"How can the boy hide for so long?" She whispered shakily. "It makes me fear what he has in his pockets. How can he hide for so long?"
Javier pulled out the chair for his mate. Once they were served food he told all of them to leave before starting to talk with his mate about this matter. The sage had already burnt in this room.
"I do not know what kind of witches is he associating himself with," he poured her some wine, "but as far as we know and what the coven leaders have told me they have to be outcast witches."
She wanted to cry now. "Outcast witches are not right."
Outcast witches were the worst of them all. Coven leaders did not control them anymore and they did not care about their own lives as their souls were rotten.
"Yes," he agreed aisi placed his fork down. His appetite was long gone. "They are the worst."
