"Despite that. I did my best to become stronger to live up to my father's expectations of a king he wanted me to be-ruthless and c***ng" he continued. Then an idea crossed my mind that I could use this opportunity to gain his trust, making it less likely for him to suspect my true motives. "What motives." Helga kept a close eye on Riovanni, ensuring she didn't miss any potential signs ofdeceit. When be noticed her watching him, he turned to meet her gaze, and a small grin formed on his lips.

"To return the throne to its rightful owner, his reply made her eyes widen. Even Siegren who was listening to them the chole time couldn't help but look surprised. "But that would be easier said than done." My father knew I would be meeting you. He was aware that the new queen of Verdentia was the heir and rightful the throne I am currently occupying Riovanni continued his explanation as he swirled his wine glass in his hand and stared into Helga - mesmerizing green eyes. "He gave the order for me to bring you back with me, and the entire delegation was Helga's finger twitched involuntarily at those words, a sign of her inner turmoil. Siegren's brow furrowed ever so slightly as he observed the tense conversation between his wife and the Lycan King. He resisted the urge to interject, instead standing siently behind them and listening intently. His body leaned against the balcony door, his eyes fixated on their interaction, taking in every minute detail. He took a sip of his wine, trying to restrain himself from warning Riovanni to stop looking at Helga, knowing it would come across as petty and childish-all he coul I he could do was watch and listen "We had intended to nded to use you as leverage against the Alpha King and if that failed, we would have resorted to taking you by force. It would be like killing two birds with one stone, not only could we establish our claim to the territory, but I could solidify my position as Lycan King by capturing you." "Why are you telling me this?" Helga asked, though she already knew why he was telling her the plan they had concocted. The influx of information and explanations she was receiving all at once was overwhelming and difficult for her to process.

"Because I needed you to trust me fully. I believed that was the only way I could successfully protect you from my father." Riovanni replied before sipping his wine, his eyes drifting from Helga to the glowing moon in the sky. He could sense the intense glare Siegren was giving him, so he quickly shifted his torus away from the Queen. The last thing he wanted was to omplicate their already complicated connection.

"The delegation members were unaware that I was trying to run our plan by revealing it to you and the Alpha King. This is why I am depending on your cooperation. I know it sounds ridiculous, but would you kindly come back with me to Narva! Pretend that I successfully executed our plan to trick my father."

"Are you hearing yourself right now?" Siegren's grip on the glass tightened as he growled, causing it to shatter in his hand and spill wine onto the floor. He advanced towards Helga, his other hand firmly grasping her waist to pull her closer to him. She could feel his alpha energy radiating from him and it made her heart race with fear. In a panic, she reached out and 12:47 Fri, Det 189 p Chapter los приспей "Your Majesty, calm down." she said, causing him to snap back in the rage that was starting to consume his senses. He breathed in and out slowly to calm down, letting his fingers slide on his cheeks to grasp her hand. Slowly, his anger died down as he looked into her eyes apologetically. "Sorry."he sighed. "But his request was too outrageous for me to just watch and listen."

touched Siegren's check, diverting his attention away from glaring at Riovanni.

"I am aware of the risks, but I assure you that I will do whatever it takes to protect her," Riovanni spoke up, aware that persuading them to cooperate with his plan would be a difficult task. Nevertheless, he had to try and convince them somehow. "While he is in my territory, I will keep a close eye on Helga and make sure she is safe. Please consider hearing out my plan before dismissing it. "What is your plan exactly?" Helga kept a tight grip on Siegren's hand as she turned to face Riovanni. After a moment of contemplation, he placed his glass on the railing and let out a sigh,

"I want the Alpha King to declare war on my pack. A sudden attack, I mean," he answered, causing the couple's eyes to widen in shock. "If we took Helga, you would have all the means and reason to start a war... I want you to wipe out my pack and help me get rid of my father." Helga and Siegren shared a moment of silent communication. The expressions on their faces were a mix of hesitation and doubt. Helga was torn about whether to give in to Riovanni's plan, while Siegren remained wary and unable to fully trust

him

"Why do you want to get rid of your father? Is there any other reason why?" Helga inquired because she could sense that there was a deeper motivation behind his intense determination to eliminate the previous Lycan King. It seemed almost incredulous, but he was willing to betray his own pack for this cause. "My father, he was doing a lot of awful things behind my back, sl**y, prostitution, and countless other crimes," Riovanni's heart ached with guilt and sorrow as he confessed his father's heinous actions. His mind was haunted by the thought of countless innocent people suffering in the shadows, victims of his father's cruetly and greed. "I've known about this for a while, and I attempted to handle it on my own. However, it became clear that every member of our pack was still fiercely loyal to my father, even though I had taken over as their leader. "It may seem weak and pathetic for an alpha Lycan King like me to still be under my father's control, but I refuse to simply sit idle while his greed causes suffering for the entire country." Riovanni let out a heavy sigh as he turned to Helga and Siegren, his eyes filled with both determination and desperation "That is precisely why I require your cooperation and help. I need a powerful ally to help me rid myself of my father and his pack. And once we succeed, I will return the throne to you,"

"I have no desire to take over as ruler, especially when I am already the queen of Verdentia." Helga couldn't deny that she believed every word Riovanni was saying. The desperation evident in his voice proved to her that he truly cared about the well-being of Narva and that whatever he was proposing was for its benefit. He had a genuine desire to protect both her and their nation from his corrupt father, which is why she had already made up her mind. "Instead of returning the throne to me, help me find my parents, and I'll go with you to Narva."
