The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229: CANE’S STRANGE AFFECTION

A wave of shock coursed through everyone present when they heard what Cane said. Their faces fell and they were slightly worried for the Alpha, as they stole a furtive glance at the King.

Princess Osana narrowed her eyes, during this dinner, she had been paying close attention to this pair of Alpha and Luna, and now her gaze became even more complicated, it was unclear what she was thinking.

Meanwhile, King Aeon’s expression only turned darker, black veins popped up on his forehead, as his grip on his queen, who was sitting on his lap, tightened. He was livid beyond words, rightly so after hearing such a rude response from Cane.

After all, he should be grateful that the King gave Nala as his mistress after he lost one due to dark magic. It could be said that the King gave him a grapevine to be connected with the royal family, but Cane didn’t need that, he was already a part of the royal family after all.

Queen Della grimaced, she bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from screaming in pain because right now the King’s claws dug into her hips.

But to everyone’s surprise, the King let go of this matter. He let it slide completely ignoring how rude Cane was to reject his grace for him.

Instead, he guffawed, as if he found Cane’s response very funny. "I guess, you have a particular taste for you to reject such a beauty like her!"

The King waved his hand, indicating Nala to retreat, as she stood behind Cane, just like the other mistresses. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

"Yes." Cane nodded, he was smiling gently at the King, the kind of smile that was only for formality. "I like her red hair and blue eyes the most."

If it was not for the problem with the Asturi stem and the waves of monster attacks in the north, Cane wouldn’t be able to act so brazenly like this in front of the King and would still keep his polite front.

However, it was the King’s fault to corner him and force him to respond that way when King Aeon shoved Nala to him. It was also a warning for the King, since Cane held his weakness.

Even so, Ethan’s verdict had not yet been decided, thus Cane still needed to hold himself back a bit and give some face to him to lessen the damage to his image in front of his subjects.

"How strange, I like the color red too!" Lou chimed in a cheeky tone, as he flapped his cloak, to show them that he was wearing red. This was the only color that he would always be wearing and everyone, who met him before, must have known this. "Apparently, we have the same taste!"

However, his words could imply a double meaning as well.
