Nicholas furrowed his brows when Knight Jerald asked him to repeat his words instead of pinching him as the king requested. So, Nicholas decided to pinch himself to make sure he was not hallucinating.
"OUCH!"
Nicholas realized it was real. What made Leland want to bring Sophie and the kids to the royal palace? All this time he seemed to avoid the place like the plague. He only let Luciel and Jan come to visit, Nicholas would be the one to come and pick them up with several knights. Leland wouldn't come to the palace at all.
So, seeing him come today made Nicholas feel surprised. And to think that he also brought his mate? It was something that Nicholas never dreamed would happen.
