Seeing that, he murmured softly, his voice barely audible among the cheers, "They think it’s over... not by a long shot."

His eyes narrowed as he turned toward Selena. "Selena, come with me."

Selena blinked in surprise. "What are you planning now, Alex?"

Alex smirked faintly. "Just come with me. You’ll understand soon."

Alyssa sighed in relief, visibly exhausted. "You guys do whatever you want Now that alex is safe, I’m going back to Lily. She’s alone at home."

Alex nodded. "Yeah, take care of her."

As Alyssa left the throne room, Selena and Azrael followed behind Alex. His expression had shifted — calm on the surface, but sharp underneath, like a blade hidden in silk.

They walked toward Jack, who was still surrounded by nobles and officials. The moment Alex approached, the chatter died down, all attention turning toward him.

"So," Alex said casually, his tone playful, "how are you, Jack?"

Jack turned, his gruff face breaking into a grin. "Alex ! Don’t you have time to come and visit me once in a while?"

Alex shrugged. "Well, you know how busy I am."

Selena immediately retorted with a smirk, "Busy sleeping and eating, you mean."

Alex’s mouth twitched. "That’s an important task in my life too, you know. I take it very seriously."

Jack burst out laughing, the sound echoing through the room.

But before the laughter could settle, Cian stood from his seat and addressed King Edward. " Edward, I shall take my leave now. It seems everything is settled."

Just as he turned to go, Alex stepped in front of him, blocking his path. "Mr. Cian," he said, his tone polite yet cold. "Where are you going? I have something important to discuss with you."

Cian frowned, clearly irritated. "What do you want now? I have already forgiven you for your heinous crimes, boy."

Alex smiled calmly, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "Oh, I’m aware of that. But before you leave, there’s something else. Your Majesty," he turned toward Edward, "may we use a private room for a short conversation?"

Edward studied him for a moment before nodding. "Very well. You may use the council chamber."

Soon, Alex, Evelyn, Cian, Liana, Selena, Jack, and Azrael followed Edward into a side room. The atmosphere shifted — from political grandeur to tense stillness.

Everyone took their seats. Cian crossed his arms impatiently. Liana, sitting beside him, tapped her fingers against the table, clearly annoyed.

"Speak quickly, boy," Cian said curtly. "Our time is valuable."

Alex leaned back, unfazed. "Don’t worry. I won’t take much of your precious time."

He folded his hands and smiled faintly. "I simply want you to compensate me for the mental trauma you’ve put me through."

Cian’s patience finally snapped. He slammed his hands on the table and stood up, his face red with anger. "I didn’t come here to listen to your nonsense!"

Liana stood as well, her expression cold. "We’re leaving."
