Chapter 378: Used to be my crush

"What? No! Why should we even tell them this?" Katelyn questioned.

"Sage, can you give us a moment?" Raidan urged.

"Of course, Your Majesty." Sage stood up and walked away.

"Kate, tell me what’s actually going on," Raidan asked, keeping his voice gentle. "Why are you so adamant of not getting married? I get it you don’t like Sage, but what if I bring another proposal for you? Are you going to refuse for that too?"

"Dad, you told me you would give me a month," Katelyn asserted.

"Yes, I told you that. However, hearing you talk makes me feel you are going to refuse to marry Sage. I never stopped you ever from doing anything. But it seems you’re refusing to marry not because you don’t want to marry, but you’ve someone in your heart. Am I right?" Raidan squinted his eyes.

Katelyn fidgeted with her fingers as she heard her father’s words. ’Did Sage tell my father? I requested him not to do this.’

"Say something, Kate," Raidan said.

"Dad, I’ve no one in my heart," Katelyn lied with a straight face.

"If you have someone, then tell me," Raidan encouraged her in a gentle voice.

"No, Dad. There’s no one," Katelyn repeated.

"Then, tomorrow if such a question be asked, you are supposed to handle it wisely. You’re not a commoner, you are a Princess. Keep that in mind. Your words carry a lot of weight. I don’t understand what you don’t like in Sage. He’s such a sweet boy. Despite losing his birth mother, and living under the same roof with her stepmother, he never once let the others see what pain he has been going through. He understands people well. That’s why his pack respects him a lot."

Katelyn was shocked to learn that Sage’s mother whom she met that day wasn’t his birth mother.

"Are you saying that his mother died long ago?" Katelyn asked.

"Yes. You don’t know!?" Raidan furrowed his brows together. "Seems like you’re not communicating at all with Sage," he said with a soft chuckle.

"No, we do. But he never told me, Dad. He acts so sweetly in front of his stepmother I thought she was his real mother," Katelyn answered.

"Because Sage is a lovely boy. He respects his elders," Raidan answered. "You may regret losing such a nice proposal, Kate, if you keep showing the resistance. Parents don’t want bad for their children. I, as your father, want your best."

"I understand, Dad," Katelyn said.

"Jaxon didn’t tell me about Ophelia’s whereabouts. You shouldn’t search for her either," Gabriel instructed Caleb.

"Sure," Karmen agreed without pressing further. His sharp eyes, however, lingered on Gabriel. "But you look troubled. Is everything alright?"

"I received a strange box this morning," Gabriel revealed. "I’ll show you its contents later. There’s nothing dangerous in it, but it’s related to a request for help from Aurevalis."

"What kind of help?" Karmen asked, confusion flickering across his face.

"I don’t know," Gabriel replied with a small shake of his head. "It’s just... unusual. I’ll show it to you once the wedding is over. For now, I just wanted to make you aware."

"Hmm." Karmen nodded slowly, then straightened as though remembering something important. "By the way, I also have something to tell you."
