“My King and my Queen,” he said, lifting his head. “Thank you for giving me a chance to participate in the tournament.”
“You are welcome,” I said, smiling politely. “Congratulations on your victory. My Queen and I are looking forward to seeing you participate in the next challenge.”
The warrior smiled and bowed again. Alpha Theodore wrapped an arm around his shoulder and led him away. He never stopped smiling.
Maddie and I stood up and turned around. All of our guests were seated behind us.
“Thank you for coming,” I said, smiling politely. “Please enjoy the rest of your evening. Food and drinks will be served in the throne room. I am looking forward to seeing you there.”
I took Maddie’s hand in mine and started walking away before anyone could try to stop us. I didn’t want anyone approaching her. I didn’t want anyone close to her. I was wondering if I would be able to convince her to go to our room and wait for me there. She did her part and she really didn’t need to stay for the party.
“Maddie, princess, I was wondering if you would be okay with going back to our room and waiting for me there?” I asked as I pulled her closer and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
She looked up at me and furrowed her brows.
“Why?” she asked. “We still have a party to go to.”
I glanced at Will who was walking behind us. He raised an eyebrow at me.
“I want you to rest, princess,” I said softly. “I am worried this might be too much.”
Maddie shook her head. “I am fine. I can go.”
I tightened my jaw and kissed her temple.
“Please, princess,” I said quietly.
“Ali and I can keep you company until Dimitri returns,” Ellie said, making me look at her.
She and Ali were walking next to Will. She gave me a knowing look and smiled at Maddie.
“But I am the Queen,” Maddie said, looking at me. “I should be there.”
“You should be resting, Mads,” Will said softly.
“Yes,” I nodded. “You already went to that breakfast this morning. I am worried that all of this is too much. You had that fever yesterday.”
I kissed her forehead and rubbed her back gently.
“Please, princess,” I said and she gave me a small nod.
“Okay,” she said. “But I am only sitting this one out. I will be going to every event after this one.”
I smiled and nodded. “Of course, my princess.”
“My King,” I heard Landon’s voice behind us and I had to stop myself from growling.
What the fuck did he want?
I stopped walking and turned around. I pulled Maddie closer to me and tightened my hold on her.
“Landon,” I said, trying to remain calm. “What can I help you with? Is there a problem with the tournament?”
Landon shook his head. “No, my King. Everything is going perfectly.”
He looked at Maddie and smiled.
“You look amazing tonight, my Queen,” he said, bowing his head to her.
