Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461: The council’s agenda

"Why do you always fight with Kate?" Amelie scowled at Gabriel. She gently patted Noah’s back before carefully lowering him into the cradle. Rocking it, she continued, "She is the youngest of all four siblings, you know."

"Well, she needs such a treatment for her awakening," Gabriel said boastfully, crossing his arms.

"What?" Amelie chuckled, glancing up at his serious expression.

"She just irritates me with the same unending questions. I am least interested in her affairs. She can pursue whoever she wants," Gabriel stated, his voice dismissive, clearly indicating his total lack of concern for Katelyn’s choices or well-being.

"But it’s about Sage," Amelie countered. "A man who used to be with several women. Sleeping with one and then another. Katelyn must be wary of that reputation. Do you think women don’t tell each other about such things?" Amelie asked, walking toward the bed. She eased herself onto the mattress, and Gabriel followed, sitting beside her.

"I know that," Gabriel muttered, his focus already drifting. "But Kate is a grown-up. I can’t guide her through everything. And I’ve told you numerous times that she loves to blame others." His hand moved to hers, and he began tracing his fingers over her wedding band, a physical sign of his shift in attention. "More importantly, I’ve found out about an ancient encyclopedia. I hope I can find information regarding Aurevalis in it."

"Wow! You did!" Amelie pronounced, her concern for Katelyn instantly forgotten, replaced by excitement. "Where is it? Let’s read it together!"

"Well, we can. I’ll bring it here," Gabriel said, standing up. He left the room, returning after a while with the heavy encyclopaedia clutched in his hands. He shut the door behind him and carefully placed the massive tome on a table positioned close to the window.

"It looks too ancient," Amelie observed, running her hand over its cracked, thick binding. "And it’s incredibly heavy."

"It is," Gabriel agreed, already opening the cover. "It’s going to be a heavy read. It’s dense, handwritten, and written in archaic language. It may take us a few days just to navigate it and actually find anything conclusive about Aurevalis."

"That’s fine," Amelie told him. "We will do it together."

"Yes," Gabriel hung his arm over her shoulder, drawing her close to him. "Tomorrow is a special day for Noah. He will get the blessings of everyone."

"Yes. But I do fear one thing," Amelie stated. "What if Ophelia tries to enter the palace?"

"The security is tight. Nothing will happen. I’ve been careful about everything. I’ll again check the security arrangement myself in the early morning," Gabriel assured her.
