However, this time it was worse since she had to remember a small and insignificant fact from the book she saw just for a few minutes while experiencing this. Not to mention that she had to pretend that everything was A-okay.
“If you don’t know the answer, then let’s move on to the next….” Elene smirked since everything was going exactly as she expected.
“Give her time,” Kai said in a tone that brooked no objections, and everyone stared at him, including Sayannah.
“Brother?” Elene seemed to ch*oke on her own att*itude, searching for the right words to express her surprise without being too evident.
“Sister?” The king arched his brow questioningly, mimicking her tone slightly. The northern princess’ cheeks flushed because of the embarra*s*sment. Her authority was never diminished like that before.
“Eleanor Sigurd,” Savvy finally remembered and even f0rced a little smile on her lips. What Zack was doing did not seem to be a quickie this time. She would cut his member off before she K*lled him. It was simply a must now.
“Excellent,” Elene looked surprised, but just for a moment. She started the second round of questions, and Savannah prayed for her ex to finally come and be done with it.
“Are you okay?” Kai leaned forward, and she felt his hot breath on her skin.
“I am… great!” She lied through her teeth, throwing a quick glance at him. For some reason, she wanted to press herself against his skin. The last time they did this made Zack stop. Shame they couldn’t do it again.
Both her palms were still on the table, and she noticed that the king had placed his hand millimetres away. His little finger brushed over hers gently, bringing her more relief than she expected. Kai did not take his eyes off her as well, and she could tell that he had already figured her out and was thinking the same thing. She exhaled, closing her eyes and trying not to make any sounds. The pain was getting duller.
“Princess Savannah,” Elene called her loudly, and she nodded without looking at her. “Name the thirteen male pups of king Bromirthe Fourth.”
A little smile danced on her lips as she started saying name after name. She was lucky Penelope lent her that book. Savvy didn’t even need to look at the northern princess. She knew that it was her little victory.
“What law was proposed but not accepted by the Northern Convocation in 332 after Fenrir’s war?”
“Elene!” Kai interrupted his sister. “What kind of question is that? I doubt any northern queen, our mother included, could answer that!”
Elene pursed her lips, but Savvy smirked and replied, “Banning rabbit liver pies. Although, if you asked me, they should
have accepted that one.” A few snorts and giggles sounded here and there.
“You should try one,” Brigit retorted, helping herself to some pastry. “They are not popular in the West, but here we make them with heart and soul.”
“And some guts,” Astrid chuckled, adding to the fun.
“Savannah Stormhold!” Elene stood up. “I will demand a check of your mental link usage! One of your people is helping you!”.
“Why would you think that?” Savvy raised her brow. Seriously? It did not bother her when Petra turned to her mentor every time.
“You couldn’t know that!” The princess clenched her fists. Savannah saw Kyle filming the whole thing from the corner of her eye.
“And why is that? I thought these are the historical facts that every Luna of The North should know, We have all prepared. I am sure Penelope would name every single pup of king Bromir, male or female. Right, Penelope? It was all in that wonderful book you gave me. It was – lovely of you, by the way.”
Savvy didn’t even notice how the pain went away. She felt so much better now, not to mention that Elene and Penelope’s faces were so worth the ha*s*sle.
“Fine, then answer my next question!” The northern princess regained her composure, but not without a struggle..
“Enough!” Kai growled loudly, making the ground shutter underneath their feet.
Shaken, Elene’s lips twitched uncontrollably as she looked at her brother. She couldn’t believe he was doing this to her, but she knew better than contradicting her King.
“Very well,” she let on. A new fake smile appeared on her lips, and she sought to look as if his interruption did not bother her. “The next contender then. So, Brig it, how about…”
“No!” Kai thundered, and every head at the table turned in his direction. “Enough history. Allow the lad*ies to enjoy their brunch, sister.”
“But “She started, wanting to say so much more; however, upon meeting his stern gaze, she f0rced another smile on her lips. “You are so lucky that the Lycan King of The North is gracious. I had many more questions for all of you, but his wish is my command. As for the points, they will be summed up based on the …”
“No need for that!” Kai stopped her again. Anger flashed in the princess’s eyes this time. Savvy watched the show with interest, her hand stretching to get a succulent strawberry This was a new change of events..
“This is an official challenge, Kai,” Elene insisted, “Their points must be taken into consideration.”
“Oh, I am aware.” The King retorted and gestured for his Beta to come forward. Savannah hadn’t had the chance to meet the infamous Beta Lachlan in person yet. The Crimson Wolf got his nickname not thanks to the colour of his fur, which was, in fact, a cream colour on the verge of light golden. A beautiful colour which caused many enemies to underestimate him, thinking he was soft in nature. All of them ended up dead.
The nickname came from the battle where he almost single-handedly K*lled hundreds of rebellious werewolves. By the end of the fight, his fur had indeed become red from all the blood that gushed onto him from the wounds of his opponents.
So, when a friendly-looking guy in his late twenties with blonde hair and a beard walked to Kai with a grin plastered over his face, she raised her brow in surprise. Looks were indeed deceiving…
“Lachlan will be responsible for the points from now on,” Kai announced. Gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd next to them, drowning out the buzzing of drones flying above them.
“That’s great,” Elene fraudulently offered as she smiled, looking like she was about to break a neck or two. “I will give him the information…”
“That will not be necessary,” Lachlan stopped her. “I had been counting and am ready to announce the results.”
“Begin,” Kai gestured, ignoring his sister glaring at him.
“Salome Gray, Autumn Bern, Mikaela Levarro, Naya Knight, Astrid Erling, Mavis Redfeather,” the Beta called out and then paused, looking around. Only when he had their full attention did he continue on. “Two correct questions and five points for each question.”
“Penelope Summerstern, Inga Finn, and Celia Morr,” Lachlan went on. “Two answered questions. Two and a half points each due to their level of complexity. Five points in total each.”
The satisfied smile on Penelope’s face faded. “Brigit Borg. One question answered correctly. Five points.” The werebear girl only lifted her chin higher, ignoring the murmurs behind her back.
“Petra Biernat.” Lachlan cleared his throat and sighed. “Mind link detected. Two questions answered. Five points each. Five points were deducted. Five points in total.”
“Savannah Stormhold. Three questions answered. Ten points each due to their complexity.” Lachlan announced, and even Savvy was shocked with such a decision.
“Please, announce the final points for the two tasks,” Kai nodded at his Beta.
“Of course,” Lachlan was clearly ready for everything. “In the lead is Princess Savannah with 20 points. Followed by Salome Gray, Autumn Bern, Mikaela Levarro, Naya Knight, Astrid Erling, and Mavis Redfeather, with 15 points each. Penelope Summerstern, Inga Finn, Celia Morr, Petra Biernat, Bridget Borg – ten points each.”
