Chapter 260: HE WAS WORKING ON IT

Cane stirred when he felt Iris moving away from him. He was alarmed, his mind immediately cut straight to the worst case possible and his body reacted, as if he was being attacked.

"What happened?" His lucid eyes scanned his surroundings, but there was nothing. He was safe and there was nothing to be worried about, at least, inside this room, the chaos out there didn’t seep through yet.

"I am going to get some food," Iris said sheepishly, as she pointed at their breakfast. "I am hungry."

Cane finally realized what was going on and that he had overreacted for no reason at all. He then let Iris go and got off the bed to freshen himself up.

Iris still could feel his strong arms that hugged her body all night, she still felt so warm being so close to him, but she couldn’t ignore her hunger any longer... her stomach was rumbling uncomfortably. She didn’t eat much last night as she couldn’t even taste the otherwise delicious spread, because she needed to talk with Laluna during their dinner, someone that she didn’t like to have any conversation with.

The Princess would always find a way to talk about how lucky Iris was to have Cane as her mate, praising the Alpha to the moon and back, which irked her to no end. Iris actually spent the entire dinner trying to mask her annoyance and focus on that difficult task.

Iris munched on her meal when she caught her reflection in the mirror. Her hair! She looked so messy with her curls around her little face, it looked like the mane of a lion. Ugh.

Somehow, her current look made her feel self- conscious and she used her fingers to tame it. Her hair would always look so messy in the morning, but this was the first time she got frustrated.

Right at that time, Cane came out, he had already changed his clothes, as he wore the formal ones, which meant he would go out now.

"Why don’t you eat your breakfast first?" Iris asked when she saw Cane, she tried to tame her hair by tugging on it helplessly.

"I am late," Cane said curtly.

Iris fell silent. She was very familiar with this curt answer and almost pulled a face. When she thought they had made progress, they circled back to the beginning again. She lowered her head and stared at the breakfast for both of them that Hanna had brought this early morning.

However, when Iris thought Cane would leave after giving her that short answer, the Alpha actually approached her and kissed her head briefly, which surprised Iris. She lifted her head and stared at Cane, whose expression didn’t change at all after that sudden act of affection.

"I heard you will need me during the final fitting of the ceremony outfits." Hanna had told him before about this, because she thought Iris wouldn’t bring it up, since she didn’t want to bother the Alpha.

More so, with the recent events, everyone was very busy with other important problems, none of them would remember about the ceremony that probably would be postponed or canceled.

However, Felicity, the seamstress, didn’t budge. She wanted to finish the job that she had started and even if the ceremony was canceled, she would have the dresses ready when the time came. That was one of her antics.

"How do you know?" Iris was surprised that Cane knew about that.

Yet, instead of answering her question, Cane caressed her head and spoke briefly to her. "I will come at noon."

And after saying that, the Alpha walked out of the room to tend to the brewing problems that he had created. He didn’t look panicked, nor was he flustered with the intensity of the chaos in the capital city and also inside the court. After a good night’s sleep, he felt even better.

Meanwhile, Iris stared at the closed door for a while, gradually a sheepish smile appeared on the corners of her lips. She touched her forehead, where Cane had kissed her. It was only a small gesture and it was not the first time he did that, but after last night’s conversation, it felt different.

Cane kept his words, he was indeed trying to work on their relationship. And just like what he had said, he came this afternoon.

"Miss, the Alpha is here," Hanna said giddily when she helped Iris to get into a dark purple gown. There was nothing fancy about this, as it was a simple gown with a V shaped collar, which showed her mark and her collarbones. It seemed Iris had to endure a little bit of coldness if the ceremony happened.

They were not doing the final fitting for the gown in their bedroom, it was another room inside the King’s palace.

"Yes, Ms. Felicity dragged him into a different room." Hanna even looked more excited than Iris to know the Alpha still cared enough about her missy to show up.

Recently, she had been very gloomy because she couldn’t get in touch with Will. She didn’t know why he left without saying anything. He even didn’t reply to her letters that she left with one of the warriors when they went out of the palace to meet with him.

The warrior said Will received the letters, but said nothing, he looked so quiet and this left Hanna worried.

"You two will look perfect," Hanna kissed Iris’ cheek, while her missy clearly looked happy. Once Hanna finished braiding her hair, she gushed over her. "Look, how beautiful you are. The Alpha will fall head over heels for you. He will feel so lucky to have you in his life."

"Stop it," Iris chided lightly, she felt Hanna’s words were too heavy and outrageous, but her personal maid only chuckled.

"Oh, you don’t know what will happen in the future."

That was right, no one could predict what would happen to their relationship in the future, when all of it started with an ill fate filled with hatred, pain and a lot of traumas.
