The Alpha's Temptation

Chapter 270 A Devilish Smile

Taiyi was worried about Murel. When Eltanin had told her about him, she didn't know what to do. But it wouldn't hurt to go for her own little inspection. If Kinshra had been with her, she would have taken her along. She had sent a message to her father, King Izo, to meet him and ask about his intentions to marry Nerina with Eltanin. It was very sudden and even Nerina acted like she was desperate to marry Eltanin. Was there a ploy behind all this?

King Izo was a busy man because he ran an empire in the Jade Sea. He wasn't happy with Taiyi and Eltanin because Eltanin didn't marry the girl of his choice. So when he received Taiyi's message, he didn't even feel like replying back to her. However, he couldn't stop himself and he visited her instead.

Right now, they were both sitting in her throne hall. Taiyi offered her throne to him. He swam grandly towards it and went to sit on it. He splashed water with his strong, azure colored tail that flared into a beautiful orange and green on his waist.

Taiyi couldn't help but stare at her father's beauty. The God of Sea was surely the most handsome merman.

"What is it, Taiyi, that you have called me so urgently?" he demanded as a servant offered him a tray full of drunken lobsters. He picked up one and chewed it, waving the servant to leave.

As soon as the servant left, Taiyi came straight to the point. "Father, Lusitania is a half fae and she recently visited her home, Vilinski. Over there, her mother helped her with Yunabi and now by God's grace, Eltanin has reclaimed her and the lock on his magical powers was lifted."

King Izo furrowed his brows deeply. He didn't expect that to happen. "Do you mean that now Eltanin has powers that he was supposed to possess?"

"Yes," she bobbed her head.

King Izo sat back on the throne, feeling... wonderful. "And he has reclaimed her?"

"Yes!"

A mischievous smile appeared on his lips. "Where are they now?"

"They are both visiting the shores of Stourin," she replied softly, wondering why he was asking all this.

He waved his fingers in the water and magic sizzled around them.

Perplexed, Taiyi said, "What are you doing, Father?"

He shook his head and said, "Continue with what you wanted to say." On the inside, he was feeling ecstatic.

Taiyi swished her tail to shift her position in the chair she was sitting in. "While they were there, Tania's mother, Kinshra, revealed vital information about who was involved in casting dark magic over her when her mate, Biham, rejected."

"Ah that shithead!" Izo smirked. "I hope Kinshra never accepts him!"

Taiyi suppressed her chuckle. Her father knew about Biham and how he ended up rejecting his fae mate. She took a deep breath because her father can be very caustic at times. "She had said that a priest used to come to cast dark magic on her and his name was Murel."

That caught King Izo's attention quickly. He was thinking that he shouldn't even talk to Taiyi and here she was revealing about Murel. "The only Murel that I know of is the king of the Kingdom of Murel."

Taiyi got up from her chair and swam towards her father. She sat on the dais in front of his feet. "That's what Father!" she rasped. "I was also extremely surprised when Eltanin revealed this information to me. And that's why I wanted to ask you whether it was you who had approached Murel or it was him who approached you with Nerina's proposal."

"Well..."

"Before you say anything, I have to confess one thing to you."

King Izo's brows knitted again.

"Nerina had kidnapped Lusitania a day before her wedding in the realm of the Jade Sea with Eltanin and I gave her severe punishment for that. Currently, she is lodged in my maximum-security prison at the bottom of the Sea."

Izo's eyebrows shot to his hairline. He knew what Taiyi meant. "Does her father know about it?" he asked, worry spreading in his chest.

"No!" she said, lowering her head. "But if you want, I can tell him and then also, he won't be able to save her. Abducting a queen is a heinous crime."

Now Izo knew why his daughter had called him. "You want us to pay a visit to the Kingdom of Murel?"

"Yes. But first please answer my question about Murel. Did he force you in any way?"

"You know that no one can force me, right?"

She chuckled. "I know."

King Izo leaned forward and rested his elbow on his thigh. "He had sent me the message that his daughter had come of age and he was looking for a suitable groom. Who could be better than King Eltanin. And now I wonder why he said that Nerina would be able to produce an heir and even stay in Stourin rather than go back to Draka." He looked at his daughter. "To be honest, Taiyi, I do want an heir for Stourin..."

Taiyi placed her hand in her father's lap. She understood the kind of pressure he worked under. Royal games were all about having heirs to the throne and Eltanin was one of the strongest boys. But he was committed to Draka. "I know father," she said softly. "Let's hope for the best."

King Izo smiled at the small hope she gave him and placed a kiss on the crown of her head. "How about we give a visit to Murel?"

She laughed softly. "Should we take Eltanin with us?"

"Never!" Izo said vehemently.

She laughed more and then rose on her tail to swim out of the throne hall.

And then on the side, flicked his wrist again. A sizzle of magic worked its way through the Jade Sea.

King Izo followed his daughter. "Before leaving I would like to meet Lusitania and Eltanin."

"Of course! They need your blessings, Father."

Izo's lips curled up in a devilish smile. He could already envision his great-grandchildren.
