Chapter 94
A bit relieved that the lady was still hopeful, the councilmember looked towards Salas again.
“Well never mind your highness. It was my fault. Anyway, I would like to introduce to you Miss Yvonne Riemann. This lovely single lady just flew from England to be here tonight. She is one of the highest ranking female werewolves at the moment.” Explained the councilman quickly.
He was afraid that Salas would interrupt him. He was also afraid of Salas saying something wrong to the lady, that was why he had said just how powerful she was. Salas respected a powerful werewolf, so by informing him, he would have a little more restraint in his choice of words.
It is nice to see you again your highness. I have not met your highness since….” A sweet voice started saying.
“Is that so? Congratulations Emery!” Salas interrupted, not letting Yvonne finish her greeting. He never even looked in the beautiful woman’s direction. He was more interested in the person that sat at his left side.
Seeing her with her palms under the table, a little fidgeting because of the constant stares, his heart ached. Perhaps she tried to look at ease, so she took a glass of wine and was about to drink from it
“What are you congratulating me for your highness?” The councilman asked with a frown. He was upset that Salas still behaved unbothered towards the lady, even though he had told him just how powerful she was. But he would not dare scold the king, especially not in front of so many people.
“Well, of course, for your new love. At your age to manage to charm the young lady, it is quite an accomplishment.” Salas stated relaxed, and at the same time took Celia’s glass from her hand before it reached her mouth.
“What are you saying your highness? She is not my lover!” Quickly affirmed the councilman. What was the king thinking? Normally he would not be so sharp with his words in an official setting.
Even though it was not the first time he had introduced ladies to him, he had never reacted like this. He would just listen a bit and find a reason to dismiss them.
“Wine is not good for you. You have barely healed. Here drink some strawberry juice.” Salas gently
with a changed tone, as he set the glass of wine on the table and replaced it with a juice

filled one.
– She only nodded. She felt like she had unintentionally stepped in the conversation between the two n. Receiving the glass, she drank a few sips. The juice was quite sweet and yummy. She liked it a
lot, as it was made from her favorite fruits.
“ph. She is not your lover? But at this table, other than us that are working together, only our dates for this evening are allowed to sit. If she is not your date, then why is she sitting with 7 Asked Salas, returning to his stern voice.
Hearing his words, and especially the word “date“, Celia started to cough, having choked with her
juice.
Salas immediately took notice of her and grabbed a napkin from the table, and with the same warm tone he had used the other day when she had choked, gently scolded.
“Drink slowly. No one will steal it from you!”
She again nodded and, taking the napkin from his hand, gently patted her lips to not smear the lipstick.
“Oh it is because she is the granddaughter of councilman Marik and I thought…” The councilman said. He was upset by the words Salas was using to toy with him, but at the same time his heart was jumping for joy. Seeing his attentiveness towards a woman, even if it was not the woman he was trying to introduce, he was thrilled.
“Well the
I then, if she is Marik Riemann’s granddaughter, why is she not sitting at his table? Hmm Emery?” Salas asked, finally turning his gaze to look at the elder.
The councilman was trying to find his words, when Yvonne took the lead in answering Salas.
“I am sorry your highness! Please do not be mad at Councilman Reynolds. It was my selfishness to be here tonight, but please believe me I did not mean any disrespect. I can leave at this moment if you wish for me to do so! Yvonne quickly apologized. Her blue eyes filled with worry. To show her sincerity, she was even about to rise on her feet and truly leave it seemed.
Normally, seeing such a beautiful lady flustered because of him, any man would react and tell the lady not to leave. Normally, but unfortunately Salas was not any man, he was not gentle at all with
Women.
Celia had expected him to help the lady and prevent her from leaving, but he did not say anything. Even though he had been nothing but courteous to her so far, to lady Yvonne he had not spared a single glance. It made a seed of doubt sprout in her mind about his intentions to her.
“Lady Yvonne there is no need for you to leave, if I say you are my date tonight. Right, your highness? Intervened councilman Reynolds.
He was satisfied that Salas was finally showing interest in someone, but he still had to make sure
that the king truly liked Celia and had romantic intentions towards her. As such, he could not let go. Just yet of lady Yvonne. The lady had done nothing wrong so far and she should be given a chance
