Radulf and Zenna arrived at the palace a little later than expected. A servant led them through the grand corridors toward the hall, but before they reached their destination, they encountered the Crown Prince.

Both Zenna and Radulf greeted Leon with a respectful nod. He responded with a polite smile, his gaze lingering on Zenna.

"You look beautiful, Zenna," Leon said.

"Thank you, Your Grace," she replied with a graceful bow.

Radulf's jaw tightened as he caught the unmistakable gleam in Leon's eyes—one that made his blood boil. His fists clenched at his sides, itching to rip that smug expression off the prince's face by pulling those eyes off.

"Let's go then," Leon said, turning away and walking ahead.

Zenna and Radulf followed in silence. As they entered the grand hall, they were met with the sight of the entire royal family already assembled. Radulf's eyes immediately landed on Markal, who was seated close to the Alpha King.
