Chapter 652 - A WEAK GUARDIAN ANGEL

Her reasoning behind showing up was not because she wanted to join, and stay for the breakfast event. She initially took it as a good opportunity to have a decent discussion with Jedrek. Unfortunately, it turned out to be just like any of her plans, this one also didn\'t get to go accordingly.

On his seat, Jedrek remained silent. Her eyes fixed on him. It was his motionless expression that irritated her the most. Fine!—she thought.

"Well, since now I know that my presence is not welcomed here, I will excuse myself. And for you," Lilac snapped now, and her gaze fell on Violet, "Please, make sure to let him know before you invite me." Despite Lilac\'s harsh words, Violet smiled at her. This only made her frowned even more. There was no more reason for her to stay, she turned away to leave.

But when she was about to walk away, then Violet held her arms. Lilac was a little bit fl.u.s.tered by this girl\'s gesture. Why does this girl keep insisting on my presence? What does she really want from me?—she thought.

"Wait, I invited her because I need her in this discussion. Haven\'t I told you that I know about how to solve your current problem, last night?" Violet giggled like a teenager. But there was more to her sentence. Somehow, she purposely emphasized the word \'last night\'. What was it about last night? Lilac didn\'t like the flirty woman, but interested to hear what she was about to say next.

From the little information that she could understand, she realized a couple things for sure. She might be new in that realm, but she was not stupid. She could tell that there must be something going on in the kingdom. And the victim that she and Tordoff found yesterday, was definitely not the first.

Still on his seat, this time Jedrek gave a reaction as he slightly flinched. He narrowed his eyes, and the red-haired young woman saw that. The little change in his expression was more than enough to make Violet immediately go on and elaborate further the meaning behind her intention. But Lilac noticed something. The connection that Violet and Jedrek shared was hard to miss. Lilac scoffed internally.

"Come here, we will discuss it after breakfast." Violet nudged Lilac softly as she made her way toward Jedrek and sat beside him. "Oh, I\'m sorry. I forgot to introduce myself, I\'m Violet, the Alpha\'s advisor." She winked. Lilac knitted her brows upon receiving a wink from her. Does she always do that?—she thought. She couldn\'t be more curious about this creature.

Firstly, she wasn\'t a human for sure. Second, she definitely wasn\'t a shapeshifter either. Lilac could feel it. She would immediately know if she was facing a shapeshifter, she could tell from their different body temperature. Then, what is she? Could she be a witch? It was the most likely of this case.

Lilac didn\'t move. She was contemplating. It was humiliating enough to be put in a situation where her presence wasn\'t welcomed, making her uncomfortable like previously. That was why she decided to leave. She didn\'t want to be actually asked to leave the room this time. But, on the other hand, she had to know what was happening here. She needed to know the problem they were going to discuss.

Once Violet had sat down, Jedrek continued eating his breakfast. The king seemed to completely ignore Lilac\'s presence. He hummed to respond to whatever the red-haired woman said to him. However, Lilac doubted the king was listening.

"Come here." Tordoff waved his hand and gave her a grin. Seeing now his Alpha didn\'t bother to try onto dismissing Lilac again, made Tordoff assume that whatever Violet\'s information was, it was more important than his resentment toward the guardian angel. Tordoff believed that the king would always put the kingdom first over his personal matter.

But, he just couldn\'t put his finger on whatever the king\'s reason behind the secret order he had tasked him on. To protect the guardian angel, and no matter what, keep this order secret between them and only them. Not even his other generals should know about this. The secret order was not based on hatred, at least he knew that for sure. There must be something more complicated than that.

"Let\'s eat our breakfast." Tordoff waved his hand again when he watched that Lilac still didn\'t move. Lilac\'s eyes shifted back to Jedrek after Tordoff\'s first invitation, but the Alpha didn\'t bother to meet her eyes as he ate a chunk of meat in front of him while listening to his advisor\'s whispering voice. On the second call, Lilac strolled towards Tordoff. She sat next to him.

"That is Rowan," Tordoff pointed to the general, who was sitting on the opposite table from them.?Rowan nodded slightly and offered Lilac a polite smile. "It is a pleasure to see you again, guardian angel."

"Lilac, please," she spoke faintly.

"Oh, I know your name, you made it clear in our first encounter. It\'s just us, how ignorant we are." said Rowan fluidly. Lilac couldn\'t tell if he was being friendly or sarcastic towards her. Therefore, she only gave him a polite smile, not trying to talk about this matter further. It was not the case for Rowan. He seemed to be reluctant to let go of this topic.

He hushed Violet\'s whispering voice towards Jedrek, and the Alpha didn\'t seem to be bothered with that. Then Rowan started to talk again, "I have never seen such power, especially for it coming from a weak guardian angel," this time, clearly Rowan was speaking based on his knowledge about guardian angels, based on the whole race\'s general traits.

Lilac rolled her eyes dramatically in response to what Rowan had to say about her long extinct race. The word \'weak\' was the one that triggered her snappy attitude. But then she managed to contain her emotion, because she realized that it was just how these shifters picture guardian angels. But still.

What does he know about guardian angels anyway? How could he value such lowly of them? Was he even born when guardian angels were still around?—she thought. The guardian angels were indeed extinct centuries ago, and no matter how old Rowan was, he didn\'t look as old as Jedrek, Maximus, and Lyrus. Lilac seriously doubted that Rowan had even met a guardian angel apart from herself.

"Their extinction is the solid proof of their weakness," Rowan said, then it followed with a light shrug.

In other words, Rowan was pointing to how weak guardian angels were, that they were not strong enough even to preserve their life.

"Their extinction is the solid proof that your kind wouldn\'t have been able to win the war without my kind," Lilac bit back sharply, added a smile on her lips to soften her snarky reply. Lilac could see a flash of anger on Rowan\'s eyes when he heard that. Seeing that, Lilac was more than ready to destroy another hall in this castle, if things really had to go down the hard way to the worst.

They should stop to think that way about guardian angels, even so after what Lilac had done. She could take six of the generals at the same time, thus she was confident she could subdue him alone in matter of seconds. All just to prove and to let him know how \'weak\' guardian angel was.
