Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 469

Chapter 469: Judging him for his life

As Sage and Katelyn reached the grand hallway just outside the royal chamber, where Amelie and Gabriel were staying, Katelyn stopped abruptly.

"You’d better leave with my brother," Katelyn stated. "I have to speak with Amelie alone."

Sage met her gaze, a challenging half-smile playing on her lips. "Well, that depends on Gabriel," she stated. "If he wishes to leave the side of his wife or not." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

They both paused right at the gilded chamber door. Katelyn nodded once to the guard posted outside, instructing him to announce their presence.

While they waited, Katelyn leaned in, her voice dropping to a persuasive murmur. "You two are friends," she asserted. "And you should be able to do this for me."

Sage considered the request. "Alright," she accepted the challenge, her eyes glinting. "I’ll handle Gabriel."

The guard, having received permission, stepped back and bowed low, gesturing for them to enter.

They swept into the drawing room. Amelie and Gabriel were seated on a plush sofa. As Sage and Katelyn walked in, Amelie rose instantly from her seat. Gabriel, however, remained rooted in his seat.

"Kate, you’ve come with Sage to see us," Amelie observed, a light, teasing tone in her voice, though her eyes held a spark of knowing curiosity.

"No, Amelie. I didn’t call him to the palace," Katelyn quickly countered, meeting her friend’s eyes with a smooth, convincing lie. "He surprised me with his sudden visit."

"And I decided to come here," Sage chimed in, stepping closer to Gabriel’s seat, his gaze fixed solely on the prince. "I have been wanting to talk to Gabriel for some time."

Gabriel didn’t need any further confirmation. He arched one skeptical eyebrow, a clear signal that he knew the pretense was for his benefit, but he played along instantly. He rose fluidly to his full height.

"I will leave you both, then," he announced, moving to Sage’s side. He glanced pointedly at Katelyn and warned, "Don’t trouble your sister-in-law, Kate."

With that curt instruction, Gabriel turned and walked briskly from the drawing-room, Sage falling into step beside him. They left Amelie and Katelyn alone in the chamber, exactly as Katelyn had intended.

"Are you two going well or not?" Amelie asked, crossing her arms over her chest as she watched Katelyn intently.
