~Aurora~

　　Our hearts were beating out of our chests when we realized that this might actually be a threat for Roman. Everything relied on him now. But Emeric had full assurance that Roman could probably pull this off in the smoothest way~

　　We were waiting for Roman's Green Signal as we thought it might be anytime soon during the morning. This is going to work out right Emeric. He noted my way and voice typing his feet on the floor anxiously. I totally get where is coming from and he should be feeling anxious because it is the life and death matter of his precious subordinate.

　　Suddenly Emeric jumped off his seat and looked into the sky. This behavior might be perceived as a peculiar behavior but this was totally normal for the ones who have such a strong mind link with their subordinate. I waited patiently until Emeric finished his conversation with Roman. I couldn't stop myself from imagining that the worst or the best was happening judging by the expression that Emeric was wearing on his face. I surely hope that the plan has worked and Alexia is coming out of the kingdom! Back at their scene Alexia was requesting leave because she wanted to go out of the kingdom and have some peace of mind.

　　Leif, being the arrogant bastard he was, didn't even think about Alexia and simply dismissed her. Taking this opportunity Alexia immediately left the kingdom by flight. As the information was relayed to Emeric, joy spread all across his face!

　　"It worked! Honey, I worked!" He screamed in delight!

　　"You're a genius, Emeric! Haha!" After our little celebration, we were preparing ourselves to receive the treacherous lady. Alexia would reach us, stepping into my territory within an hour or so.

　　"I now leave everything to you, Emeric." He nodded at me.

　　2 hours have passed by. The lady that we were antic waiting to visit us was now walking down the pavement. Emeric and I stood against the door frame as we had different expressions each towards her.

　　Meanwhile Alexia had a cocky expression on her face as she climbed up the stairs.

　　"Did you two miss me?"

　　"No," Emeric quickly responded and turned around to walk back into the pack house of my pack. Alexia and I simply glared at each other when she suddenly spoke up,

　　"You know, I don't really like being treated with hostility. If you guys want to make me an offer, you ought to be more kind and treat me like royalty." My blood boiled like lava at her words. What was she even thinking!?

　　I couldn't believe how entitled she was feeling and acting at the moment. I just wished she would not speak too early and ruin her chances of getting a deal out of us. But at the same time, Emeric's proposal was so well planned and cunning that it would be a waste of opportunity if Alexia would not accept our proposal. We were walking on a thin line here. We might fall into either victory or defeat.

　　So tell me about the deal now. Alexia sat on the couch as we stared at her with judgement. I bet Emeric and I were holding the same expression of disgust against her. You are ask is simple but it has a lot of rewards. I know where you are coming from. But after what I tell you to do and if you are successful I will grant you half of the kingdom and more of its perks.

　　"That is simply not enough." Alexia replied to emeric to help but think of ways to humble her. But Emeric being the diplomat that he was he nodded his head and said.

　　"I already figured that this would not surprise you. But behold, I have more to offer you." This was not what we planned. Emeric was trying his best and I was simply the spectator. I was acting like the witness in the scene, trying to get both parties to agree to the bond.

　　Alexia slowly pulled her hideous sunglasses off of her face and smirked at us.

　　"Let me hear to what I must be doing to get these rewards first. I wouldn't believe if Prince Emeric, a man of that high stature would give half of his kingdom for me to rule, that easily. What is the nasty catch?"

　　"There is no nasty catch here, Thorn.

　　And what you must do is…"

　　Emeric briefed Alexia about the plan as he give her a moment to decide if she could do it or not. She has been successful and has her own terms of getting things done. She can do it as far as I know her character. Finally the woman nodded and extended her hand for a deal. "This seems tempting. I will do it. But I want a verdict and a written agreement of our Bond. Of our deal." Emeric raised his eyebrow at her useless demands but he complied to her nonetheless.

　　I walked around my palace to get a printout of their agreement and came back after a moment. When I came back to see the scene…I felt my blood boil. Alexia shifted her place and she was now sitting beside the prince. It was evident in her actions that she was trying to flirt with him.

　　This woman cannot keep her legs closed…

　　Emeric quickly stood up and took the agreement from my hand. We exchanged looks as he turned around to face Alexia. I could tell that he was feeling uneasy but kept his ground.

　　"Here you go. You can sign here and I would sign beside yours." I really couldn't help myself from smiling at the situation. Poor Alexia has been deceived by the mastermind! This woman has no sense of justice at all. She runs towards anything that grants her more power and puts her in the spotlight.

　　Emeric and I mentally high five each other.

　　Just you wait…Leif.

　　Just…you…wait…
