Chapter 224: HER FACE TURNED RED

"There is only one problem here. We need to call the Alpha here and match your dresses for the ceremony." Because it was the ceremony for the Alpha and the Luna, thus both of them should wear matching outfits. In that case, they would need Cane to be there and try on three pairs, which matched the three dresses that had been chosen for Iris among the other dresses.

"I will talk to him," Iris replied.

"Good, at least, both of you should try them four days before the ceremony, so I can have enough time if there is something that needs to be changed." Felicity waved her hand and four servants immediately took all the dresses out of the room. "I hope your wounds will heal before the ceremony, I want everything to look perfect."

"Don’t worry, her wounds will heal in a few days," Hanna replied, as she helped Iris to put her dress back on.

"It’s better that way," Felicity said curtly, as she stared at Iris intently. This was the first time for her to see a runt like her and more so, the color of her hair and her eyes were not common in this continent. "It is scary how monsters can break through the protection of the palace, still, it is not clear whether the new year party will be held or not, since all the preparations were already done."

However, the incident with the monsters got wrapped up nicely. The King acted like that never happened and still intended to hold the ceremony, while his five right hand men looked slightly agitated with the way the King hid this.

King Aeon brushed this incident under the rug, exactly like what he did with the rumors about the black magic and the lycan.

Cane started to feel there was something more to this situation and the way King Aeon acted. Aside from everyone that involved and witnessed the attack of the monsters inside the palace, no one knew about it, as they were sworn to not talk about the incident.

However, words were the easiest thing to leak. It wouldn’t take long before the fact of it was on the lips of the commoners and it would send a wave of panic and fear among the people.

If the safest place like the palace could be penetrated easily by the monsters, what about public areas that didn’t have high protection like the royal palaces?

Yet, this was the situation that Lou wanted, the reason why he released those monsters. Now, it would be easier for him to push the progress of the magical devices, in order to defend the capital city from the possible monster attacks.

He was a merchant and he looked for benefits, thus if creating trouble inside the palace walls would urge the King to agree, so be it.

"Leak the word about what happened this morning," Lou ordered Sabian, as he put on his favorite red cloak. He loved the color and it reminded him of Iris’ auburn hair. All this afternoon, his mind was filled with her and how she could stop the monster. She could control them? He was not sure about that.

"Yes, Master," Sabian replied. There would be a lot of commoners tonight, thus it would be easy for him to spread the word.

The King was really not thinking right to still invite them and open the palace gates for them, instead of thinking of a solution to the problem of monsters breaking in.

There were a lot of things the King did which didn’t make any sense.

On the other hand, when the sun set and all the places had turned so bright. They lit thousands of candles and braziers, thus it wouldn’t be so cold. Above them, they hung a lot of luminous pearls to light up every corner of the palace.

It was the only annual occasion for the palace to be opened for the commoners, in that sense, everyone was very excited, especially when they heard they could see the Luna from the Howling Wolf pack.

From the rumors that they heard from the maids in the palace, she looked so beautiful with peculiar color of hair and eyes.

On the other hand, Cane only returned to their chamber when Iris was done with her make up and dress, on this occasion, Hanna let her hair loose, as her curls cascaded down her back, she only used a studded hairpin to keep her hair neat.

Iris was wearing a black dress, which made her look sophisticated and mysterious. This was the color of her mate’s pack, the Howling Wolf pack.

She looked so elegant and matured, and Hanna was so pleased to see Cane’s expression when he saw her for the first time tonight.

He was stunned, his eyes bore into her delicate figure before he averted his gaze and walked toward the wardrobe to change his clothes.

Even though it was only a mere few seconds, Hanna was sure that the Alpha was dumbstruck by her missy’s beauty, albeit, there was no way for anyone to know what was in his mind.

"I will leave you here, okay? I will see you later in the party," Hanna said in a cheerful voice, as she walked out of the room. She let Iris wait for Cane, as she sat on the sofa, staring at the bright sky and if she could hear, she would be able to tell how lively the front yard of the palace was, as music filled the air.

Not long after that, Cane emerged. He was dressed in black as well. He didn’t put any effort into looking nice, but he had a good body and strong aura that demanded respect from anyone around him nonetheless. Iris had to admit that even under his clothes, you could faintly see his strong muscles and how his presence made anyone know he was nearby.

However, Cane frowned when he saw how Iris was smiling at him, her face turned red for no reason, but then the look on her face abruptly changed, as her eyes filled with horror.
