My confusion grew when I noticed that we were headed in a different direction instead of going back to the palace. And then, I remember my encounter with His Majesty a while ago in my office.

It makesthink that they've been being nice tobecause they know that the moment I stand before the Lycan King, that will be the end of me. My heart stopped with the thought of it. But I already made peace with it. I already accepted that this twill cand that I will meet my end sooner or later. I was just worried that Elara would be caught in between this chaos. She did nothing but help me. I felt guilty that she would be in a terrible situation because of that. I was so lost in my thought that I didn't notice that we were already parked outside the hotel. I was confused when I saw Beta Scott standing beside the car, and it seems like he already opened the car door for me.

"What the hell is happening?" I murmured to myself.

Despite my confusion, I carefully get out of the car.

"Please follow me, my lady," Beta Scott said before leading the way. Before I did, I turned around to check on Elara. The furrow on my forehead deepened when I saw her smiling and making conversation with the guards. Elara seems to notice the pair of eyes that was looking at her, so she turned towards my directions. I was caught off guard when she waves atwith excitement. "She'll be fine, my lady. Don't worry about her," Beta Scott assured.

Many unpleasant thoughts are circling around my head. I was wondering whether I will be able to get out of this hotel alive. After a few minutes, we finally reached the top floor. Te elevator door opened, and I immediately noticed the only door on that floor as soon as we stepped out. Beta Scott led the way to the door. He punched a few numbers, which I assumed to be the passcode. After a few minutes, the door opened.

I have nothing to describe what I'm feeling right now. Is this how people on death row feel when they're about to meet their end? We slowly walked inside his hotel room, the door clicking shut behind us. The soft glow of ambient lighting bathed the space in a warm, golden hue, casting elegant shadows on the polished marble floors and the tastefully arranged modern art pieces. My heart pounded with the looming threat of danger hanging overlike a dark cloud. Yet, despite the ominous circumstances, I found myself momentarily distracted by the sheer beauty of the room.

Plush velvet couches in deep, rich tones invited relaxation, while floor-to-ceiling windows framed a breathtaking view of the city skyline. The soft murmur of a classical piano piece played in the background, filling the room with an air of sophistication that was almost comforting. I couldn't help but let my eyes wander, taking in every detail-the sleek, minimalist design, the luxurious fabrics, the subtle scent of fresh roses that lingered in the air. I almost laughed at the irony of it all. Here I was, possibly standing on the brink of death, and yet, in this moment, I was surrounded by such elegance.

If this was to be my end, I don't have any complaints. I wouldn't mind dying here, in this room that seemed to belong to a world far removed from the one I had known.

I held my breath the moment I saw his familiar back. He was standing-1- 11:45 Tue Sep 17 # Doprer 17 glass wall, sipping from his glass while his other hand was inside his pocket.

Your Majesty, Lady Sage, is here," Beta Scott announced. He bowed his head without waiting for a response.

I felt a surge of panic when I saw that he was about to leave. In fear that I won't be able to say whatever I have to say as soon as I am left alone with s Majesty, I gather all my courage to speak.

"You're more worried about the safety of your attendant than yours?" said his deep baritone voice without even glancing in my direction.

"As I said, she did nothing wrong. I'm going to face all the charges against her as long as you promisedher safety," I insisted.

He chuckled before slowing and turning around to face me. I felt shivers down my spine as soon as I saw the chilling smirk playing on his lips.

"For someone who said she's no position to make demands, you're quite demanding, kitten," he responded.

"Just answer me, Your Majesty," pleaded. I'm already desperate ton make sure that Elara's safety is secured before I face my death. "You can leave now, Scott," he ordered. "Yes, Your Majesty," Beta Scott replied before bowing his head slightly.

Panic surged through my body when I saw him slowly leaving the room.
