My mouth fell open as I gaped at him, while what he had just said echoed in my mind, I couldn't believe my ears, and when Calden noticed the scandalous expression across my face, he only chuckled before pouring some wine for the two of us.
"What did you mean?" I managed to croak out but he only shrugged as he passed me my own drink. I swallowed emptily and accepted said drink, making sure my hand didn't shake at all "Tonight, we celebrate. He announced as he took a long swig of his drink. I started into my cup, feeling a lot of emotions swirl inside me. But none of them could be termed excitement or happiness. "Celebrate?" I croaked out and he hummed while nodding.
"You and I are gonna become king and queen soon. That's worth celebrating, no?" He informed me and I stiffened, watching with concealed horror as he downed more of his drink. "We're becoming king and queen?" I blurted out, while blinking at him and he nodded before flashing me a grin.
"But... how?" I whispered. A different person would have been dancing with happiness right now. But I couldn't bring myself to even feel happy. All I could feel was worry and dread. "Because the king won't ever be returning. Because he's gonna be killed tonight." He revealed and my heart fell right into my stomach just as he threw his head back and laughed.
"He's gonna disappear very quietly, and it would just be our little secret. Then we'll accept the throne and be the most powerful duo to ever exist. Doesn't that sound like the most perfect plan ever?" He crooned as he poured himself another drink. I coughed awkwardly while nodding and forcing myself to laugh.
"It does." I admitted, sipping on my drink tentatively and choking on it at his next words.
"I have everything mapped out, all the way to the very last detail. Everything is in order, and all I'm waiting for is a message that would confirm that he has been killed. Then we'll go all out with the celebration." He added and I bleated out an awkward laugh and attempted to down my wine, but it tasted bland and refused to go past my throat.
My heart was currently racing in worry for the king. Calden plans on murdering him tonight?? So he really hadn't been joking. He really plans to kill his brother.
The more I stared at calden, the more I grew creeped out and uneasy. A heartless person is dangerous to be around, because it means since he can easily kill his brother who he grew up around, then who am I that he can't easily dispose of?
I suddenly felt like throwing up right now.
Just what have I gotten myself into??
"I've been planning this for years. I can't believe it's finally happening. This is clear that the moon goddess is on my side, because she made everything seamlessly fall into place right now." His words tugged me out of my thoughts and as I glanced at him across me, all I wanted to do right now was to be far away from him right now.
I was worried for myself and wondering what would become of my life if Calden did succeed in killing the king.
I hated to admit it but I was worried for the king. That made me disgusted with myself because I really shouldn't care about anything that happens to him. But I do care, and that angered me.

I hated the king. I hate him with everything in me. He betrayed the little trust I had in him. I hated him so much. I did tell him I didn't want him to return after all.
But at the end of the day, I didn't want him to die.
Death just seemed too serious, too final. I wasn't a heartless person and I wasn't sure I'd ever wished death on anyone, which is definitely the only reason why I didn't want him to die. Not because I suddenly care about him, because I definitely don't- over my dead fucking body!
My gaze darted to Calden again and I swallowed emptily, feeling my heart beat start to race once again.
I needed to do something.
It was stupid for me to just sit here and do nothing, while knowing that the king was gonna be killed tonight, especially when there's a tiny chance it could be prevented.
I mean, the king might be the worst person ever to me, but he wasn't a bad person to others. Take the tributes being sent to him for example. He never touched them, he gave them a good and comfortable life. I couldn't imagine Calden doing that if he's the alpha of alphas. Someone like him is bound to self those girls to other sick people like himself, or he could decide to sleep with every one of them.
I shuddered at that disturbing thought and that was what prompted me to rise to my feet.
Calden instantly trailed off and I realized he had been saying something this whole time. Shit.
"What's wrong, my gorgeous?" He asked and I cringed internally before clearly my throat.
"I'd like to quickly visit the restroom." I breathed out, holding my breath and hoping he'd agree without questions, because if he didn't, it meant there'd be nothing I could do to save the king
He stared at me in silence and I resisted the urge to squirm in uneasiness. I held his gaze confidently till he hummed and
nodded.
"Of course, petal. Take all the time you need." He drawled and I lashed him a smile.
"Thank you. I'll be back once I'm done."
I turned and walked straight till I exited the throne room. I resisted the urge to sprint in order not to give myself away.
Instead of heading to the restroom, I went straight to Nifra.
Nifra is the only person I could go to right now.
She should definitely be able to help.
