Chapter 126
Well at least they could meet him now. Surely, being acquainted with the king, their status could only rise.
“I am sorry, his highness is busy. Even I do not see him while living here. I will let him know if I see him!” Celia said with her usual expressionless face, a face one would show when talking to guests not her parents. She was getting tired of talking with them.
With Jenna in the room, and considering Salas was also nearby and could probably hear their conversation if he wished, she had tried to keep her words as polite as possible. But to speak in this manner to the parents who had betrayed her, she was starting to get a headache.
“Alright!” Her father replied after sometime. He was a bit upset that he did not get to speak to the king. But considering, Celia would be here for a year or so if not longer, as long as they mended their relationship, then it was only a matter of time before they could also meet the king.
After a moment of awkward silence, as her parents were the only ones keeping the conversation alive, her mother spoke again.
“Let’s sit and talk for a while, I missed you my baby girl. Let’s catch up with each other, just us three, alright?” Diane tried to insinuate for the maid to leave. She could feel Celia’s stiffness and her polite words, which only made their distant relationship more obvious.
To cajole her daughter into letting go of past issues, and renew her authority over her, she needed to discuss with Celia in a private setting. How could she say forget about your sister stealing your mate and we your family helping her, with the maid still in the room with them. She would be shooting herself in the foot, what if the maid reported it to the king?
From ages in the past, the royal family had the most loyal werewolves towards their mates, if the mate of the king turned out to be even an omega, that king would immediately recognize her as his mate and mark her, acknowledging her legitimacy, without a second thought.
Even the current king was rumored to have searched for his mate for decades, before giving up. The majority of werewolves would speculate if he had a lover here and there, hidden from public sight, but he had never made another his queen.
Hearing the words “baby girl” coming out of her mother’s lips, she felt shivers running along her spine and the hair on her arms and the back of her neck stand up. She was long way past the age she had wanted her mother to call her endearingly, and the false tone only made it worst.
That’s right, honey. We have some things to discuss with you!” Her father agreed, his words adding

her already awkward stance.
am sorry, but Miss Celia already has prior engagements to keep. I think you are well aware that a watcher student has a limited free time.” The maid intervened sharply, even though she was speaking the words Salas was instructing her to say, the choice of tone was hers. Even Jenna could realize that their words and care were not from their hearts.
She had attended to Celia every day, the latter never received a call from her parents, not one at all.
“Excuse me, we are her parents, who are you to intervene? Please leave us alone with our daughter, really now the audacity!” Her mother said raising her voice, showing a glimpse of her true temper.
“Please do not raise your voice at a person who is just doing her job. If you have something to say, you can say it now with Jenna in the room. Otherwise, we will talk on the phone another time!” Celia said also raising a bit her voice. She was used to her mother’s short temper, but there was no need for Jenna to know of it also.
“Celia, we are only worried about you. We just wanted to check up on you!” Her father said, trying to relax the tense atmosphere.
“If you really cared about me…” Celia said losing a bit her composure, but quickly realized her real emotions were slipping out.
“I appreciate your care. As I said, we will talk later!” She stated, and did not allow them to speak
more, turning around and walking out.
Jenna did not follow her, stepping in front of the parents who had wanted to follow after her.
“I am sorry, but you cannot walk inside the Royal Palace on your own accord. Please return to the opposite door, and follow the guards out.” Jenna informed them, not moving even a bit from in front
of the door Celia had walked out of.
“She is my daughter, who are you to stop me?” Diane yelled, losing for good her self–control. She
seemed ready to snap and bite Jenna. She felt like it was the last time she would get a chance to see her daughter. Even before, if they did not find the head Councilman at the palace’s entrance, they probably would have not managed to see Celia.
“She was your daughter!” Jenna affirmed sternly, releasing an oppressive aura, frightening them and making them show their necks in submission.
