Chapter 275: JEWELRY STORE

’I will see you soon.’

Iris really didn’t wish to see him again. She didn’t want to meet with the Prince, but she was clueless as to why she felt this way, nor could she voice out what she was thinking, thus she smiled politely and nodded.

Subconsciously, she hid herself behind Cane’s back again, where she felt a little bit of comfort. People would think she was just timid, not actually scared of the crippled prince, who couldn’t do any harm to her.

After exchanging a few words, Prince Kellan’s party left the restaurant. The same warrior that pushed his wheelchair helped him to enter the carriage and they left.

During that time, Ethan and Redmond bickered again about some random things, while Iris stared at her shoes. Cane fixed his eyes on her for a moment.

"Let’s go," Cane said, as he took her hand and they went out. Ethan and Redmond followed them, squabbling about the tea that he preferred. It seemed like they wouldn’t stop bickering as long as they were together.

The Alpha helped Iris to mount the horse, but this time, he gave the reins to her, which made her tilt her head to look at him.

"Try," Cane said curtly. He wanted Iris to learn how to ride and he used this opportunity to teach her.

"I don’t think I can..." Iris mumbled.

"Try."

This warhorse was so big, she felt intimidated by it, yet the thought that Cane was right behind her and he wouldn’t let anything bad happen to her, made her willing to try.

The horse moved and her body stiffened, but because of the task at her hand right now, she could ignore people’s eyes that stared curiously at her and Cane. She also forgot about the tension that she felt because of the meeting with Prince Kellan, as she was so focused on getting the horse to move while controlling the direction.

Cane placed his hands on her waist, helping her to relax, but more so as a gesture of protection.

"See?! I told you, she only needs a good teacher to teach her how to ride. You just suck at it!" Ethan pointed his finger at Iris, who was taking the reins of the horse, taunting Redmond.

"That’s because I have taught her the basic skills!" Redmond scoffed derisively. "Do you really think she can suddenly ride a horse?!"

"Oh, shut up and admit your incompetence!"

And just like always, both of them had a lot of energy to squabble along the way, while the Alpha and the Luna in front of them paid no mind to them. The people stared at the two with questioning looks, wondering why the two warriors seemed like they were going to kill each other off, instead of being quiet, like any other warriors, who guarded their masters together.

After they rode for two hours and because there was nothing much to see, since the situation in the city was still tense, with many people hiding inside their houses because of the cold weather and being scared of the rumors of the black magic user, as the citizens were afraid they would fall victim to the same curse as Princess Osana did, they finally stopped in front of a jewelry store, where they dismounted their horses and three young boys approached them to get the horses to the stable.

Iris was surprised Cane took her to a jewelry store. Would he buy her something? But, Cane didn’t look like a person who would splurge on something like this, especially for a woman.

But then, what could be the reason he took her here? It would be more ridiculous to think that Cane wanted jewelry for himself.

Iris glanced at Cane, but the Alpha didn’t show any expression on his face, thus it was hard to tell what was in his mind. Iris didn’t think there was a person in this realm who could figure out the way his mind worked.

They went inside and Iris could see a lot of beautiful jewelry and gems on display, as a few people greeted them, but Cane walked past them all and went to the back door of this jewelry store, where they met with Will, who had been waiting for them.

As expected, Cane had a plan under his sleeve again whenever he did something. Iris knew there was no way he would come here to shop.

"Long time no see, Will," Iris greeted Will, in response to which he only nodded and smiled politely. He looked so different. He almost looked like Ethan when she saw him for the first time in the main hall, after he was locked away for days, but there was something different about him. "Hanna has been trying to reach out to you. She said you didn’t write to her."

Iris was unaware of what had happened to Will, so did the rest of them. It was only Cane who had the full picture about the assault. Even after Will heard Princess Osana’s current predicament, it didn’t improve his mental state at all.

"I will write to her."

That was the only answer that Will gave to Iris and when she was about to ask him again, Cane pulled her closer to him. Iris raised her head and looked at the Alpha.

"Watch your steps," Cane warned her simply.

They were walking in an alley behind the jewelry store, it was a narrow alley and there were few empty bottles of alcohol scattered on the snow covered ground. Iris could stumble on one of them.

This small moment of disruption was enough for Will to move to the back of this small party, walking behind them all, thus Iris couldn’t continue with the conversation.

The jewelry shop was only a façade, what they actually sold were magic stones, which were provided by the Howling Wolf pack.

This place was also the one the spies used when they gathered information in the capital city.

"We will stay the night here," Cane told Iris, as he opened the door to a warm lodge.
