Chapter 273: Arguing With Facts
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Michael was right. The current ruler of the royal family, the Lycan King, was a self-righteous b*stard.
He stood at the top and had long separated himself from the lives of ordinary people. He did not care or understand the thoughts of others at all and only made decisions based on his prejudices.
This was the first time he’d met me. He didn’t know or understand me, but he’d already judged me based on my background. I knew that my status was not worthy of Michael, but he obviously never thought of respecting me or just giving me a fair chance.
Michael, sitting at the side, was already burning with anger. I could even feel that his anger was starting to affect my mood.
I reached out to hold Michael’s hand. I’d told Michael before that I didn’t want him to be like Brandon, going crazy at the Lycan King because of his mate.
Although Michael said he would protect me and not let me face these troubles, I was very touched by this, but Michael was too easily agitated. To not let the conflict intensify further, I thought it was better to solve it myself.
To a certain extent, we were not from the same era as our parents, and there would be differences in our views. Some things might be wrong to u, but to them, they might be unquestionably right. What we needed to do was to find a balance. After all, we would always be a family with a connection with them.
Moreover, from another perspective, the Lycan King was both a father and a king. He wished for Michael’s happiness, and he also wished for his rule to be stable. On Michael’s issue, I had the same thoughts as the King. We both wanted the best for Michael, so what I had to do was to prove this to him.
“Your majesty...” I took a deep breath and started my speech.
In fact, I’d been preparing for what I was going to say for a long time. I’d been preparing for it since Michael told me he might bring me back to the palace.
I could totally understand the King’s worries. In his position, too many people want to get something from him. And coincidentally, the reason I rejected Michael in the beginning was also because of this concern. I didn’t want others to see me that way.
It was just that later on, I thought it through. Of course, I also wanted to get something from Michael, and it was not shameful because no one had no requirements for their mates, I just had to be sure of my heart.
The thing I wanted the most was always the love of my mate.
“You knowMichael and I were fated mates arranged by the Moon Goddess, ” I said. “We didn’t get together out of personal choice but fate. In the beginning, because I was going through a difficult period, it was Michael who recognized me first. I didn’t understand back then, but now, I’m very grateful to him for doing that.”
As I said this, I couldn’t help but look at Michael and recall the bits and pieces of our past. The corners of my mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile.
“I used to think my life was good and didn’t want another person to join in. However, I can’t imagine a life without Michael now. He’s my everything, and I’m glad the Moon Goddess gave him to me. If I could do it again, I would be willing to be with him on the first day I saw him.”
“Miss Levin, you can’t possibly think that you can move me with just this, right?” The King remained unmoved. “You have said so much, but you only told me that Michael was the one who took the initiative. But later, you also saw his value and decided to be with him. You also regretted not catching him from the beginning.”
“No, it’s not like that!” I retorted. “I love Michael because he is him, not because of his identity as a Prince. I will still be with him if he has nothing, even if he’s just a pack’s Omega. He’s my mate. I can’t leave him.”
I saw Queen Wendy at the side, giving me an encouraging smile and nodding.
I stared at the King nervously, hoping that my heartfelt words would make him agree to the relationship between Michael and me. However, he remained silent and did not speak.
Michael took my hand from the side and placed our hands on the table. He said to his father, “I don’t think it’s necessary to discuss who my mate is. What we should discuss now is when to hold the coronation ceremony for her.”
Hearing this, the King finally sneered, “That’s impossible. I won’t give a she-wolf of unknown origin the Princess Consort title. She doesn’t deserve this position.”
“You don’t have the final say in this!” In agitation, Michael suddenly stood up from his chair, and the whole table shook because of his movements. I stood up nervously with him and held his hand tightly, trying to calm him down.
To have a huge fight with the Lycan King and the Queen in the banquet hall was not what I had expected.
