[-In the castle of King Viktor-]

After Prince Alcyd left Selene in his private chambers.

​​

Selene sat on Prince Alcyd's king-sized bed.

The platinum-haired mate of the favorite son of King Viktor hoped for a peaceful stay within the royal palace.

She does not intend for any conflict with any royal family member because somehow Selene hoped for a complete family which she never had for herself.

Thus, wanting to have a family with Prince Alcyd was something she wished for.

Moments passed …

A noise and commotion could be heard from outside.

It made her curious and wanted to check what was going on.

Upon opening the huge door of Prince Alcyd's private chamber,

There it was … Caleb in a defensive stance prepared to attack anyone who dares to enter the room.

"What's going on here?" Selene asked Caleb.

"They wanted to …" Before Caleb could even finish his explanation, King Viktor appeared from behind the royal guards that requested Caleb to move aside which he obviously refused to do so.

"It was my orders for your commander to step aside. I intended to request you to join me in the royal court. I believe you have not seen the royal court yet." King Viktor elaborated his intentions.

Though, it was too suspicious for Caleb and Selene to easily accept King Viktor's request.

Especially, when King Viktor openly expressed his disgust and disapproval of Selene and Prince Alcyd's relationship.

Caleb intended to communicate with Prince Alcyd through the mind-link to inform him about their current situation.

Unfortunately, a stone neck brace suddenly flew and entangled around Caleb's neck.

His previous intention was interfered with and blocked due to the supernatural interference of the stone neck brace.

It even took Selene by surprise due to her distraction from King Viktor's sudden appearance.

The fierce Caleb struggled in taking off the stone neck brace. He knew immediately that the stone neck brace has supernatural properties which prevent him from mind-link with Prince Alcyd.

"No matter how much your try, it will never get removed. I made sure that no physical strength can remove it. Struggle is futile!" Mia, the dark resident witch of King Viktor, smiled in victory.

An obvious sigh of defeat from Caleb when he realized that it is useless to try removing the neck brace.

Thus, there is no way to contact or inform Prince Alcyd regarding the current situation that they are in at the moment.

"Forgive us, your highness! For the certain behavior Caleb acted." Selene quickly showed her respect for King Viktor.

A surprising reaction from King Viktor and even Caleb, witnessing Selene humble herself.

From that point onwards, Selene knew it was either direct confrontation or cooperation were her choices.

She preferred to choose the latter without any hassle nor casualty.

"But Selene! We cannot …" Caleb tried to reason out with Selene but their future Luna interjected his reasoning

'Enough, Caleb! Do not be a fool. We have no choice or else we will only worsen the tension between King Viktor and his son. If we create a scene and retaliate at this point, King Viktor would only prove his point to everyone that I do not deserve to be a mate of a royal prince. So, do not even give them the satisfaction of their own scheme.' Selene explained to Caleb through mind-link.

Caleb was impressed with Selene's quick thinking.

Even King Viktor did not expect for Selene to cooperate easily and not retaliate in his request.

The Alpha King of all Alpha Werewolves was expecting for Selene to oppose or refuse to accept his request.

"Your highness! I am honored to be at your presence and be shown around by the great Alpha King himself … A true privilege to even share the same space with you." Selene further expressed her respect for King Viktor.

"Then shall we?" King Viktor offered his hand to Selene.

"Yes, your highness!" Selene exhibited a graceful curtsy to show her respects.

====================

Meanwhile,

[-In the dungeon-]

{Level-2}

While Princess Shiveena kept her grip on Prince Alcyd's arm, Theo could not help but worry about the precarious situation that they are in at the moment.

Since Princess Shiveena could not see, Prince Alcyd still could not believe how vulnerable Princess Shiveena looked like right now.

His younger sister used to be filled with fierceness and courage.

But now, it seems that she has been shaken too much by her defeat and the things took place due to her failed attempts.

The moment they arrived at the cell of Prince Ranku.

Prince Alcyd was shocked at the sight of Prince Ranku hanging with chains wrapped around his wrists.

A sight which the Alpha Prince never imagined to see.

Topless …

Full of bleeding wound from the back …

Blood were dripping down from the lashing which Prince Ranku received.

The young prince was even unconscious due to his weak condition.

"Theo … Will you hold my sister for a while? I will just release my younger brother from those filthy chains." Prince Alcyd requested from his Delta.

Immediately Theo held Princess Shiveena while Prince Alcyd removed his youngest brother from the chains and covered him with his coat.

The Alpha Prince carried his youngest brother while Theo was assisting Princess Shiveena.

"Let us head back to my private chamber!" Prince Alcyd informed Theo.

As they went ahead towards the private chamber of Prince Alcyd,

Unknown to them …

To the most corner of the {Level-2} dungeon … was Magdeline and the -Great Oracle- who were both unconscious.
