The nurse was tending to Dorian who was keeping his eyes down. The scratch was deep and could leave a heavy scar to remind him of the faeries' hatred toward humans. She knew that only Holden would cause such scratch because the others would not harm unarmed people from the back. Certainly, he suggested the Alpha kill them.
Elizabeth was trying to avoid the bothering eyes on her. Leon was waiting for her to speak, yet staring at her without blinking.
"I asked a question, why do you suggest that deal?"
Leon repeated.
Uncle Miguel left this to Elizabeth, she wanted to know this folk and he gave her the chance. He knew it well so that was why he didn't come to the faeries for silver in the first place. Elizabeth was supposed to learn that not every person was born to be soft-hearted like her and Luna.
"I saw that your fellow had used salt and you don't use salt nor have much of it."
"Then!"
"We need your silver to keep our borders safe from imps. We can make a deal so this way none of you will be slew like that poor woman."
Leon was surprised, was she for real? Did she really care about faeries life? This girl was impressive.
"Your name is Elizabeth, am I right?"
"Yes, sir!"
She replied and her serious inflection made Leon grin. He was treating them nicely.
"Elizabeth, why should we make this deal when your court is considering us as the foe. I would give you a sword for aiding us but there will be no more silver."
Leon knew that the court of Bolingtone was greedy and could use those weapons against faeries, themselves.
"Why? But your people need help."
"We can fight the demons. There is not something that you be concerned about."
Leon was stretching the conversation, he was sure that wasn't the main point. She was curious about the kid or maybe the fairies.
"The monster could have killed the kid."
She mumbled.
"His name is Goran!"
Leon noted.
Elizabeth looked at him, blinking, he read her hand about being curious.
"What had happened to him?"
"His mother and his siblings died when he was born and his father got killed by a beast last month. When we were away from capital someone kidnapped him, to sell him to your Queen." He answered that question bluntly.
Miguel and Elizabeth exchanged a glance, was it true? Why does the Queen want a healer faerie?
"I wish it was a little believable."
Elizabeth stated, doubtfully.
"It depends on you, but your request got rejected. I hope we don't see you, humans in our borders, again."
But her, she was different and Leon wanted to see her again.
"Fine, we would leave but I hope what you said is wrong and our Queen isn't behind all of these."
Replied Elizabeth, her eyes on her uncle that his face wasn't readable.
Leon directed to Dorian who now had the faeries cloth wrapped over his arm.
"He can ride now."
Elizabeth was on her feet, to leave, she couldn't hesitate more but she could grasp not much information from this stubborn species.
Leon just smirked at the brave girl and his eyes averted on Miguel.
"You are a respectful man to faeries, Lord James. But we are not our fathers."
Leon remarked.
Miguel was agreed, all the men he knew among werewolves were dead. And this new generation did not care if Elizabeth was a hybrid faerie from the Griffin clan. They had no idea what Elizabeth would have become otherwise they wished to keep her. He felt being blessed, he didn't want to let his loving Elizabeth be far away from him.
"I appreciate your kindness, all we meant to do was to fulfill a wish, this is what friends do for each other unconditionally."
Leon seemed to be touched by the words but Elizabeth doubted if these words could have ever worked on that scary but gorgeous Alpha.
Dorian went on his feet and bowed to the fae lady. She smiled softly and left while passing by Elizabeth, she shot a wicked glare at her.
"I am ready to move." Remarked Dorian, he felt butterflies in his bowels. He didn't want to stay there anymore.
"We apologize for bothering you!"
Miguel noted and drew his route to the door and Charles eagerly followed him.
Elizabeth was the last person who forced her legs to follow her uncle. She pouted and went out, still the passing by werewolves in gray robes were watching her. Some of them were smiling at her and some were shooting glares at them.
"What should I do now?" She asked herself.
"Elizabeth, move faster." Alerted Dorian.
Inside a room on the second floor, Leon opened the door and went to the Alpha.
"Brother, they are leaving."
He informed.
The Alpha was sitting beside the bed where his nephew was sleeping.
"Did you send some men to make sure they would leave? Humans are thieves."
He did not draw his eyes off Goran. He was keeping him since last month but he failed because his wet nurse betrayed them. He killed the woman but his heart couldn't soothe.
"I did, but are you sure that we shouldn't have taken salt from them, William?"
The Alpha gave him a meaningful glare.
"No, we ask nothing from humans. The Queen will repay this soon. She thought she can persuade me to bow to humans. We are people of Abyss, we are not afraid of darkness. We arise from the darkness."
Leon's expression grew dim. He couldn't understand what William was keeping in his head but for now, the priority was to kill the beasts and they needed salt for it. Even as a king, William was deceived by a babysitter, she should have put this pride for some moments later.
"The girl, what was she?"
Asked Leon.
"I don't know but her scent was pleasant."
He let out while looking back at his nephew, the girl's scent was tugged to Goran's coat.
"I gave her, the sword you handed me for her favor."
Leon liked the girl but he couldn't claim her because she was a strange creature. She had the scent of Griffins and humans.
"It's fine."
To his surprise, when he was prepared for his anger, he just said that. He told him to keep the sword until it become necessary to get rid of her, and shut that little mouth down not to gift her! Calmly, sat beside his nephew who slept in peace.
Outside of the mansion. The cart was repaired and a bulky man was standing there, holding a sheathed sword in his hand.
He extended his hand to Elizabeth, "this is yours, young mortal."
