The Abandoned Lycan Queen 122 Chapter 122 Elena's POV "I'm so glad to see you again, Elena. I heard about you and Deacon..." Queen Liz greetedwith a huge smile on her face as she ledto the balcony of her room.
"Yes, it just... It happened." I smiled brightly as I walked gracefully to the balcony and leaned my arms on the fence while looking out at the magnificent view outside.
Since Deagon and I started this, we might as well make it as real as possible.
Shrugging my shoulders, I added, "Deacon and I went to war together... We fought side by side and faced obstacles far beyond what one could imagine... It's almost like a sweet-blooded fairytale if that makes sense." The queen and I both laugh at our statement. "And that's the weirdest yet loveliest description of love I ever heard." I laughed even harder at the Queen's statement. "Well, that's it. Our camaraderie developed into something deeper, so when we cback and he proposed... I had nothing more to say but yes." We chit-chat a little and shared a few laughs before she went closer toand held both my hands with hers. She looked atseriously and met my eyes. "I don't think things are as simple and as magical as they all may seem, but I'll always be here to support you and Deacon." The gratitude I felt at that moment was immeasurable. "Thank you." I looked outside and gestured, "I guess... I should go and meet the Duchess now." Shrugging, I added awkwardly, "...to avoid further troubles." Knowing what I meant, she laughed and sentto the doors.

As soon as we stepped outside the Mother Queen's residence, the scorching heat of the sun glazed our skin, and the more we walked around, especially on my heels, the more exhausted I became.
"Princess..." Zara walked closer beside and discreetly whispered in my ear, "Why does it feel like they're dragging us in circles?" I pulled a handkerchief from my pouch and wiped the sweat from my brow. Shaking my head while looking at the attendant who was leading us, I forced a laugh. "That's because they are." Zara looked atin surprise.
"The Duchess is stalling." Shrugging my shoulders, I added, "It's a classic tactic. She wants to weardown before we even get to her." "Oh... okay, careful," I said as I held her arm in support when she stumbled back. "Are you okay?" I asked.
She blinked her eyes a couple of times and held her head. Panting, she explained, "It's probably because of the heat. I feel a little dizzy." I nodded my head in understanding. Zara's an Omega and didn't undergo training like I did. “Here, take smedicine. It will help.” From the corner of my eye, I could feel the attendant watching us with scrutiny that later on turned to fascination, especially after Zara almost instantly regained her composure.

I looked at her for a while before nonchalantly shrugging and grabbing more from my pouch to hand her a few. "It's nothing special. Want one?" At first, she was hesitant, but after seeing that I was really intending to give her one, she nodded and accepted it. After all, she looked as exhausted as Zara was earlier.
Feeling better, the attendant sighed and smiled before gestring to the hallway. "Thank you, Princess. In this case, allowto take you through a shaded path, it will be much cooler."
Zara discreetly shota smirk, which I reciprocated as we followed m the attendant to the hallway where We were shaded from the sun, and the afternoon's breeze from the trees cooled our skin. "I'm so proud of you, Princess. Winning people over with kindness," Zara whispered with pride, makinglaugh a little.
"Better than letting them drag us through the sun like we're pack mules," I whispered back and shrugged like it's a small matter.
"Here we are, Princess," the attendant gestured to the residence that was located on the back of Deacon's, just right behind the garden area.

"I'll wait for you here, Princess," Zara uttered when I looked at her before she gestured to the bench in the garden that's shaded by the massive tree.
I nodded my head and muttered under my breath, "This is it..."
When the double doors were opened, I almost choked from the sight that welcomed me. The entire. e place was lavishly decorated with high-class furniture and accessories The chandelier in the living area also seemed to be made from diamonds.
"So, you're finally here." A cold voice caught my attention, only then did I realized that Duchess Diana wasn seated on the single sofa with her arms crossed while wearing a displeased expression on her face, probably as sharp as the corners of the diamonds above us. Nonetheless, I kept a calm demeanor and smiled politely while I met her sharp gaze. "I wouldn't want to keep you waiting too long, Duchess."
