Chapter 70 The Knight And The Princess
Warren's POV: This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Early in the morning, Alina's personal bodyguard came to me and told me that she wanted to see me.
Upon hearing this, my brain rumbled like a motor. I got so excited. God knew how much I missed Alina.
So I hurriedly excused myself in the morning exercises and went to see her. Before I went out, I put on the tie clip that she gave me three years ago. It was her gift for me, so I always treasured it. I was very careful every time I wore it.
Alina and I grew up together, and we could be considered childhood sweethearts. Being the Gamma of our pack himself, my father had always told me since I was a child that I shouldn't only be a werewolf loyal to the Alpha but also a knight born to protect the princess.
Thus in my heart, Alina was more important than my life.
She was always gentle and kind, so I thought I could stay by her side for the rest of my life and protect her. I even dreamed of marrying her one day. But later, I heard that the queen liked her so much that she wanted her to marry Prince Rufus. I was disappointed and angry at the same time.
No one else deserved my Alina. What was more, Prince Rufus was so cruel and cold-blooded.
When the princess was held hostage by an evil dragon, as a knight, I had to stand up and protect her. So I came here on my own accord.
I thought that as the queen's guest, Alina would have been living a good life here. But much to my surprise, she bitterly cried when she saw me.
Her beautiful face had lost its glow. I asked her why many times, but she didn't answer. She just kept crying.
Damn! Who the hell was bold enough to bully my Alina?
"Alina, tell me. Who made you so sad?" I asked anxiously, clenching my fists tightly. I felt like I would really go mad if she still didn't say anything.
"I..." Alina sobbed and pouted her red lips. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. "Just let me vent my sadness."
"Someone must have bullied you."
I sat beside her, held her shoulders, and stared at her affectionately. My heart broke to see her crying like this. She was such a good she-wolf. How could anyone have the heart to make her cry?
"Warren..." Alina called out my name softly. She raised her tearful eyes and looked at me. "It doesn't matter. I feel much better now that you are here with me. Seeing you brings comfort to my heart. I really miss my father and mother. If only they were here too."
After saying this, Alina sobbed again. "They... They have gone too far."
"They?" I quickly grasped the keyword. "Alina, who are they?"
"They..."
I could see that she was hesitating. She picked up a tissue and wiped her tears. "If I tell you, promise me that you won't tell anyone."
"Of course! Don't you trust me anymore? You know that I am always your strongest supporter, right?" I frowned, unhappy about Alina's alienation. Anyone but her could doubt my loyalty to her.
Didn't she still understand that she was the only one in my heart?
"Okay, I will tell you." Alina sniffed, looking so pitiful. "Everyone in the palace knows that the queen has brought me here as Prince Rufus ' fiancee. But Prince Rufus has invited Sylvia to be his date to the ball on his birthday this Friday. Now everyone in the palace is laughing at me. I feel so humiliated."
"He has gone too far!" I was so angry that I suddenly stood up. But I also felt a little disappointed that Alina was crying for another man.
"So, can you help me? Warren..." Alina also stood up and looked up at me. "You and Sylvia are in the same class. Maybe you have a better chance of... stopping her."
