Bab 67: Wishful thinking

"Shall we?" Azimir held his hand out in front of him as he smiled at the lady beside him cordially. Although he wanted to leave the palace as quickly as possible and return to Aylin, he had to stay until the Alpha King returned.

King Myron's sudden departure foiled his plans for now. He had only wanted to walk with him for a few moments out of courtesy and take his leave when the time was perfect. But the sudden appearance of the minister had stopped him from leaving and he was now stuck with Josephine who was smiling at him coquettishly, making him despise her all the more.

Unlike Aylin who was headstrong and domineering, Josephine was soft and delicate but extremely unappealing. Every time she batted her eyes at him before lowering her head, Azimir only felt the urge to leave the place. Her antics were only making him uncomfortable and he wished for King Myron to finish with his work and arrive as quickly as possible.
