Chapter 270: A good father

"Your Majesty!" Amelie greeted her father-in-law as soon as he entered the house.

"Amelie, you still address me as ’Your Majesty’," Raidan wasn’t surprised by her humbleness. "Just call me Father." He patted her head with affection before taking a seat on the couch.

She looked at Gabriel, who gave her a soft kiss on the lips, thus flustering her. "Your husband is back from work," he whispered, bringing his hand to her back as they turned toward Raidan.

The servant had already served him water, which he was drinking.

"Dad, we have one important guest to introduce you to," Gabriel said, referring to Carlos.

"Um... Who’s it?" asked Raidan curiously, placing the glass on the table.

"Albus, please call Carlos," said Gabriel.

"Why don’t you take seats," Raidan suggested.

The two sat across from the Alpha King, whose eyes were now on Amelie.

"I apologize to you, Amelie, on behalf of my queen," Raidan began.

"No, Father. Please don’t do that," Amelie promptly said. "It’s between me and the Queen. When we meet next time, if possible, I’ll ask her myself. You don’t need to apologize to me."

"Dad came all the way to San Ravendale to apologize to you," Gabriel said, tilting his head low. "Even I was surprised when Karmen suddenly told me about his arrival."

Raidan smiled. "I thought to give my son and daughter-in-law a surprise," he remarked. "I punished Mabel for playing with your life, Amelie. In all these years of my marriage, I’m unable to understand her sometimes. I don’t understand why she repeatedly does that."

"Dad, she does it because of me." Gabriel’s voice turned sharp and anger appeared on his calm face. "She loves to torment her own son. Mom doesn’t care if I live or not. All she wants to satisfy herself with some damn prophecy," he muttered.

Amelie lowered her head, remaining quiet.

"Greetings to Your Majesty," Carlos interrupted them with a humble bow.

Raidan lifted his head, and a frown appeared on the middle of his forehead. "A mage?"

"Yes, Dad!" Gabriel confirmed and stood up. He gestured to Albus, who understood the command immediately. "Carlos Ashfall is a good friend of Amelie and mine too."

"But why-why did a mage come to our land? How did you all know each other?" Raidan looked flustered as he glanced at three of them.

"Dad, Carlos is here to help us. I’m sorry for not discussing a few things related to the prophecy that Mother keeps talking about. I can’t explain to you everything right now, but Carlos is here to help me and Amelie," Gabriel asserted.

Raidan was still confused. "Why would you believe in such things? I told you not to listen to your mother. Nothing will happen. I don’t even care what the High Priestess told her."

"Your Majesty, your son does have a mark, and your daughter-in-law. They both are cursed in their past lives. Gabriel mentioned that the High Priestess is no more, so we can’t confirm with her. However, based on what they both said and what I have seen myself, the marks need to be withdrawn from their bodies," Carlos explained in as polite a tone as he could.
