Because of the monster attack during the new year party, many people died and most of them left their children behind.
While some of the children were lucky enough to have their other relatives to take care of them, some of them were not that lucky, as they had no one to turn to.
Capital city was a large city, where many people came and went and most of the citizens were shifters or merchants, while the rest was a mix of many other kinds.
With the fact the shifters were the original citizens of this capital city, most of the shifter children had their extended families to take care of them, but the merchants did not, therefore when they died, their children had no one to rely on.
At that, Prince Kellan stepped up and used funds from his own treasure to build another building for the orphaned children and now its construction was underway. He would be in the city often these few days.
It was also him who had reached out to Cane and offered his help once he heard about the new duty the Alpha had received from his father.
As for Cane, there was no reason for him to turn down the offer. Seeing how his father and Alpha Derick from Celestial Moon pack had supported him when he was the crown prince, more so, that he had an impeccable image in the people, he could make use of his good reputation, not to mention how people adored him.
"It’s nice of you to help those children," Cane said. He kept holding Iris’ hand under the table, while she stayed out of the conversation between him and Prince Kellan.
"It’s something trivial. It’s an obligation for a sovereign to help their people. My father is a little bit strange to want to cover up the whole thing." He heard all about how his father had killed the guards that witnessed the first attack.
On the other hand, Cane didn’t have any objection to his statement. It could be said he was the most decent person in the royal family.
Cane glanced at Iris, who was exceptionally quiet and looked very anxious, as she kept her head low. Something was amiss with the way she behaved.
Not long after that, their food arrived and they enjoyed their lunch with a light conversation, where mostly, Prince Kellan told Cane about what was going on in the city and what the citizen’s opinion about a certain thing was.
Basically, the Prince guided the Alpha in understanding more and learning about what the citizens were usually like, and gave him a few suggestions on his task from the King.
Meanwhile, Cane listened carefully, asked a few things and most of the time, said nothing. He was not a talkative person and was an observer, thus he processed every bit of information and tried to deduct the necessary steps that he had to take later.
He had his own plan that he didn’t share.
Even if his father trusted this prince and supported him thoroughly, Cane needed time to build his trust in Prince Kellan. He wouldn’t follow in his father’s steps blindly.
