บท 391: Approaching Ceremony

When Lorenzo walked away and disappeared from the garden, Everard finally focused his attention on Jerome. “Did you come here to eavesdrop on me and Lorenzo or did you have something more to say to me?” he asked rather harshly.

“It was a mere coincidence, Your Majesty.” Jerome didn’t take the King’s tone to heart because he was used to Everard’s mood swings by now. He gave a gentle bow to the King and finally stated the purpose of his visit. “I came here to remind you that all the preparations for the full moon have been completed.”

“Ah!” Everard took a deep breath in and looked in the distance. A subtle hint of sadness loomed over his face because he began missing his father.

Jerome watched the expression on Everard’s face turn sour. But he still said what he had to. “Everyone from our clan will gather at the Great Hall for the ceremony. And since no one objected or challenged your candidacy to the position of the alpha, the elders are supporting my candidacy as your beta.”
