I Welcome Your Rejection: Angel Kings’ Proud Mate novel Chapter 30

Ira’s Pov

Angel Tiras returns to his seat. I take in deep breaths to calm my nerves because my whole body is shaking.

They kill with so much ease. Like we are flies to them. I understand that Zilla was a bad person, but so are they.

“We had nice chambers prepared for you. You’re however free to choose on your own where you would like to stay. Everything can be transferred there,” he says.

I had made a decision to refrain from conversing with them. But the opportunity to return to the servant chambers where I first heard about the secret entrance will pass me if I do not speak.

“I will return to my former room in the servant quarters,” I say.”

They all frown as though they didn’t just give me the freedom to choose.

“We were talking about proper chambers, dear. You can take a look at the available guest chambers before making a decision.” Angel Adon urges.

“Our mother’s spacious chambers are right next to mine. We can have them redesigned for,” Angel Ronen offers.

Their dead mother was rumoured to be a kind woman. She is a legend. Yet none of her sons possesses her best virtues. They are irresistibly beautiful except in the hearts. I am surprised they didn’t give their queen their mother’s chambers. She would have been thrilled by the honour.

“No. I will take the servant’s room,” I repeat.

They fake disappointment and I am honestly impressed by how good they can act.

“Our future Queen cannot be seen living like a servant. It would be a disgrace to our nobility. I also do not see the point in staying in an awful room that you were given because we hated you then,” Angel Tiras states.

Why is it so important to them that people get to think that they care about me when they will be draining my blood the the day after tomorrow? Wouldn’t it be better if no one suspects that I have anything of value?

“I think we should let her have what she wants for once. That’s how love works. She won’t mind staying in our mother’s chambers once our mate bond is restored,” Angel Ronen says.

His brothers take time to mull that over. “Fine. But our servants and guests must be warned against letting people know that she was ever there,” Angel Adon grudgingly agrees.

I wish I could thank them for giving me the chance to find my way out of their palace. Perhaps after I am gone I will send them a letter of gratitude.

I eat more while they pretend to talk about the beautiful future they hope to have with me and how I will be the most beloved queen. I have to clench my teeth to stifle a laugh.

“We hired your friend Linda to be treating you. She asked for a job here at the Palace where she could be close to her future husband. We thought it would be best if she carries on being your doctor since she is more familiar with human biology than our palace doctor,” Angel Ronen informs.

“She loves her father. She was too determined to find him even at the risk of losing her own life. If you can find him for her I am sure you will have her heart as well,” she finally answers before I kick her out.

Why did it have to be something we cannot give our mate? Her father is dead. We didn’t want to burden her heart with more grief. It would be unfair for anyone to suffer so much within a short while.

I dismiss our informant so we can have the privacy to discuss our next move.

“I think we should let her know that her father is gone. She will never embrace our love or wealth as long as she worries about him,” Ronen says as soon as the lady doctor is gone.

“She will take months to grieve before giving our relationship a chance. We can still charm heart with things she has never experienced before. If we do she will at least have someone to turn to for comfort when she learns about her father’s death,” Adon argues.

He has a point. I am however certain that there is nothing we can do now to earn our mates admiration, not when her dead father is still the person she values the most.

“I have a more effective idea. She would like to avenge her father’s death after we tell her. And we have the Princess whose father must have played a role in hunting and killing him,” I remind. “Why not tell her about his death then have her watch our queen’s beheading? We can also have King Ademon’s tiny kingdom burned to the ground and he and his wicked family brought here for execution,” I add.

“That sounds easier than trying to impress our mate with luxuries that doesn’t speak her heart,” Ronen approves.
