The Alpha's Temptation

Chapter 419 Something Really Urgent

It was Kinshra who suggested sending the three fae men for help to the Aquila Kingdom. Biham was skeptical as to what the fae men would do, but he was wrong. Right now after hearing as to what they did, he was surprised. "That is… commendable," he said to them. "Thank you very much."

The faes bowed to him. "It is nothing, Your Highness," said the one in the middle, Andrei, tucking his wings tightly behind him. "We are your allies. We will do whatever you command. That is what our king would also wish for."

Biham couldn't help but feel proud that it was because of his fae mate and their daughter that the relations between the fae and them had a new beginning.

"Is there anything else you would like us to do, Your Highness?" Andrei asked.

Kinshra got up from her place. The throne next to Biham was empty. She purposely didn't sit on it all these days because it reminded her of the past. And she also knew that Biham was waiting for her and would continue to wait for her till eternity. She was confident that he would never leave her side, no matter what. But some wounds just didn't heal…

"Thank you for your help," she said to the faes. "We would be needing more help in the near future."

"Of course!" Andrei replied. He bowed to the king and they all left.

Biham got down from his throne and strolled to Kinshra, his heavy boots echoing on the floor. "Your insights have been superb, Kinshra."

A pale blush formed on her cheeks. "I am glad that you liked my idea."

He held her hand in his and said, "I will always like your ideas, no matter what, Kinshra. You know that, don't you?"

Kinshra gave him a coy smile as her blush deepened.

"And there's one thing that I wanted to tell you, Kinshra."

"What?" she asked, fluttering her long eyelashes.

"Not here. In the bedroom."

Kinshra bit her lip. They both were sleeping in different bedrooms, but their rooms were adjacent. Biham would spend most of his time in her room even though she was not there. His excuse was that he didn't want to spend a minute away from her. "Okay," she murmured.

Kinshra's parents had left two weeks back but there was a continuous flow of faes from this realm to the other because of trade. The people of Pegasii were too happy with all the new changes that were coming with the trade. The economy was booming. Corruption had reduced and people had a lot of job opportunities. The kingdom had started flourishing in a way it never did. Often people used to mention the difference between the two women in their king's lives.

With Sirrah, the kingdom was constantly under the threat of attack by Nyxers. Most men were called for their duties as soldiers to defend their kingdom. Women were getting tired of sending their men off to the border. So many got killed. Population was dwindling.

But things were so different now. There were no more Nyxers attacking on the borders. They didn't dare to infiltrate the kingdom. Earlier they would see a few Nyxers here and there and they were constantly present on the borders in old taverns or inns, leering at the girl. Now there was no such threat. And it was all because of the faes who uprooted the presence of Nyxers completely.

More and more men were working in the kingdom on other jobs. Because of free trade between faes and Pegasii people, money flowed in. People were getting richer and this was just the beginning.

? As the growth of the kingdom continued, the citizens had started a new movement which was to see Lady Kinshra on the throne as their new queen. It was extremely important that she accepted that position as soon as possible because no one wanted to risk an impediment in their growth. If Kinshra became the queen, they couldn't imagine what kind of development and growth they would witness.

Since she was reluctant in agreeing to it, people had started forming a large group that would push Lady Kinshra into accepting it.

The news of this group had reached the courtiers. All of them were only excited about it and were eager to meet this group. The best part was that none of them had mentioned it to the king or to Lady Kinshra. In fact, they were only looking for opportunities to bring the king and lady Kinshra closer. At present, they all saw how the king wanted a private audience with her.

General Balfour immediately motioned to all courtiers to close the court for the day. All of them nodded and became alert. He announced, "There are no more matters to be attended to, Your Highness."

Biham jerked his head to look at Balfour. "So soon?" he said with an element of surprise.

General Balfour gave a big smile. "It seems it is our lucky day." He bowed to the king. All the courtiers got up and started to leave after bowing to him.

Though Biham found it weird, he was happy that he got to go to the bedroom to talk to Kinshra about what he had in mind from a long time. "The court is over before lunch, Kinshra," he said. "Would you like to take a stroll in the gardens or would you like to come to the bedroom with me? There is something really urgent I wanted to speak about."

"Then I would like to go to the bedroom first," she said in a low voice.

Biham couldn't help but bring his fingers to her cheek and gently brush them with his thumb. He leaned forward and pressed a kiss on her forehead. "Let's go," he said. Kinshra walked ahead of him as he followed her. He wanted to hold her hands so badly, but was afraid that it would ruin her mood.

When they reached her bedroom, she opened the door and they entered. He closed the door quietly and leaned his back against it.

She turned to him and asked, "What is it, King Biham?"
