Elena’s POV
A smile instantly spread to my lips as I shrugged my shoulders. “She tried a little. But it’s nothing I can’t handle. Honestly, I found her more manageable than your brother.
Deacon looked at me like I had grown another head, eyes wide open and lips agape. With both brows raised, he spoke, “Manageable?! That’s the first time anyone ever described her that way.
He even let out a small laugh of disbelief.
I was about to reply, but a series of honks interrupted me. Looking at the front, I realize that the light was already green. Tapping him on his arm, I pointed outside, “Go!”
“Right…” He blinked before looking back at the front and driving, stopping the honks from those behind us.
Once we were moving smoothly again, I replied, “She’s… aggressive in her own way, but at least she’s upfront. I respect that more than passive jabs and fake smiles.”
Having someone straightforward was easier. I at least know how I should handle them. Unlike King Desmond, whose every move seemed like a mystery, I couldn’t be sure if he was being sincere or sarcastic sometimes.
Theard Deacon heave a heavy sigh, making me look in his direction to see worry in his face. “You can only say that because you haven’t seen her at her worst yet. Once, she soaked herself in cold water for hours just to pretend she was sick. All because my father wasn’t giving her enough attention.”
He suddenly snorted and shrugged his shoulders. “Well, technically, she wasn’t pretending because with what she did, she really got sick.”
My eyes widened in shock. What kind of crazy persistence was that?
“Seriously?” I asked with wide eyes.
Nodding his head, he continued with a bitter tone, “Yup! She caught a real cold. The worst thing was that the bath was too cold. She got bedridden for a week and was scolded like a child.”
I couldn’t help but laugh after I recovered from my shock. “That’s actually kind of hilarious. Desperate, but hilarious.”
“Hilarious?” he asked dryly before shaking his head. “Definitely, not. More like Embarrassing. She’s w Willful, spoiled, and completely unreasonable. Even the former King had to ask her to move out of the main palace.” I squiremed upon hearing that. “That bad, huh?”
“Noblewomen avoid her entirely. Actually, almost everyone, regardless of gender or age. She’s impossible to reason with. I honestly thought she’d corner you the moment you stepped in,” he uttered in a low voice that’s filled with worry.

I grinned and comfortingly said, “She tried. But I had help. Your brother’s mother was there, remember?”
Though I didn’t technically have any help, knowing someone was there to comfort me and be by my side gave me
courage.
I felt the car drive slowly until it stopped. “We’re here.”
Looking out of the window, I saw that we were already outside my pack. I rolled down the window and pointed at the gate while looking at the guard outside.

Immediately after recognising me, the gate opened.
After stopping the car right in front of the main door of the house, Deacon got out of the car and ran to the passenger side, opening the door for me.

With a smile, I got off and gracefully stood before him. “Thank you for the ride. I’ll see you tomorrow, Deacon.” Sighing, he closed the door and leaned on it while looking at me. “I wish I could stay longer.”
I looked at the door behind me and tilted my head to gesture at it. “Well, you can if you want. We can have a cup of coffee before you leave.”
Sighing, he shook his head as he spoke as if he was really hopeless and staying would be a big deal. “I can’t. My mom will hear about it. And with things just going on, she’ll scold me to death, saying it’s improper.”
Muttering under his breath, he continued, though I still hear it, “She always ruins things…”
Encouragingly smiling, I told him, “Have a safe trip back, Deacon. We’ll see each other again.
“What happened?”
“That’s a huge smile, I see…”
Jayden and Zara immediately greeted me as soon as I entered.
Shaking my head at their warm greeting, I handed my purse to Zara and walked to the couch, slamming down on -it.
Without care, I slipped off my feet from the torture of my heels and leaned my head back while spread my arms. “Everything went well?” Jayden asked while Zara excused herself to the kitchen to get some refreshments. Glancing a little at Jayden, I replied with a bit of boasting to lighten up his tense expression., “Of course. Who do you think I am?”
Going along, he relaxed a bit and replied, “The best Alpha female and Princess!”
We shared a laugh and chatted a little before he left to go back to his duties.
“Here’s some juice,” Zara uttered, making me sit back properly and reach for one. I was about to gulp one glass down when my phone, which was on the coffee table, pinged.
Looking at it, I laughed upon seeing Deacon cutely complaining, “I’m back and being bombarded with checking auspicious dates for the wedding.”
Date… It’s really happening. I’m getting married again.
This time… I hope it won’t end in a tragedy.
