Chapter Twenty-Six

“Do not take another step closer to the Princess, your royal highness.”

In a low and impassive voice, Pearle's eyes were straight ahead. That caused Ryanne to frown with immense displeasure.

“And why should I not?”

Slowly turning to face him, Pearle meticulously murmured.

“You are the most astute King of a powerful kingdom and dominate over the Six Royals, your royal highness. Think of your reputation. The Princess is now pregnant with a hybrid, nonetheless. Should my men see you nearing her, they will insinuate tales in their heads, and rumors will soon spread.”

Frowning, for although her manner of speech was cryptic, her words were dogmatic.

Ryanne silently agreed, but he was not discouraged.

“I understand what you are saying, Cold Sprites Queen. But you must know that the Princess is my lifemate, and her well-being is my priority.”

Pearle's frown broadened as she heard his headstrong reply.
