"Illay? Listen to me, my son! Stop walking so fast!"
Lorelia's loud call from behind paused Illay's rushing footsteps from the moment he walked outside the banquet hall. Angst, sorrow, and darkness had clouded his pearl-white face, making him clench his fist tight.
Not to mention that Queen Lorelia too rushed out of the hall watching her son leaving at that very moment. Somewhere in her heart, she was aware that Illay was perhaps deeply affected by the insulting remarks from his father, King Valerie.
Especially in presence of someone sly as Alpha Raven and his daughter, Princess Melissa who is betrothed to Xanthus, Illay couldn't bear the insult and rushed outside. But deep inside he knew, it was Xanthus who provoked his father with his cunning tactics, just to make him realize his place in the royal family once again.
