DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 263
Chapter 263
Janet had a very complicated feeling at heart.
On the one hand, she knew it was perfectly natural for Daran to get married. They had been separated for so many years and the kingdom needed a Luna.
However…
She still could not help but feel her heartache.
There was going to be another woman.
And he would have a child of his own.
By the time that happened, any traces of her would be completely gone from his life.
Janet took a small intake of breath and suppressed those strong emotions, “… Congratulations, my king…on your marriage.”
Daran gave her an irritated look.
He was not ready to let anyone know that he was getting married, and certainly not by this woman.
He didn’t even know why he wanted to hide this news from her.
He had been acting so strangely since he met her.
It was not like him.
“Of course, you can come,” he looked at the boy and smiled. “The first screening is tomorrow. Why don’t you come and see which lady you like the best?”
He didn’t care which woman was going to become his future Luna.
And he didn’t have the slightest interest to sit through that annoying screening.
Might as well let the boy pick.
“Oh yeah!” Aspen cheered joyfully, “I am going to find the most beautiful and elegant lady on earth to be your Luna…oh wait, the perfect woman on earth is actually my mommy. But she already has my father. So you can have the second–best lady as your Luna.”
Daran couldn’t help but laugh, “You really got me intrigued, Aspen. I would like to meet your mother sometime if that is possible. See if she is really as perfect as you described?”
“Of course she is!” Aspen said firmly.
Then the boy stole a quick peek at Janet, grinning at her.
Janet returned with a helpless smile.
Just then, a knock came on the door and a servant stepped into the room:
“Sorry to disturb you, my king. But Alpha Casper and Luna Balvina are here. They would like to see you and the young master?”
“Great. Send them in.”
Janet held her breath nervously.
…Casper and Blavina!
would like to see you and the young master?“”
“Great. Send them in.
Janet held her breath nervously.
…Casper and Blavina!
Her brother and old–time best friend were there. She missed them so much!
But she was not ready to face them yet.
Would they recognize her?
Probably not, since she was wearing a mask. But still…
Before she could think of a reason to excuse herself, she heard footsteps behind her back. Casper and Balvina had come into the room.
“Daran, who is this?” she heard Casper’s voice asking.
Daran introduced them, “This is Aspen’s new nanny, Janine Kurt. Janine, meet Alpha Casper and Luna Balvina.”
Janet was left with no choice but to turn around and face them.
She broke out in a cold, clammy sweat as she slowly raised her head and met Casper’s gaze.
Casper rounded his eyes abruptly.
And Janet instantly knew that her brother recognized her.
She was wearing a mask.
But he still knew that it was her.
There was a special connection between them despite all disguises.
“…Janine Kurt?” Casper repeated in a strained voice.
“Yes. She is from Black Water Pack. Daughter of Lord Kurt,” Daran said.
Then he noticed the strange expression on Casper’s face and asked with a frown, “What is the matter, Casper? Do you know her?”
Janet quickly shot her brother a pleading look.
“…No.”
Casper cleared his throat and did his best to hide his shock, “I…I simply find Lady Kurt a bit familiar. Probably because I have met her father before and she looks like her father…”
“How can you tell that she looks like her father since she is wearing a mask?” Daran raised an eyebrow, “Oh, and speaking of which, Lady Kurt, can you lose your mask? I still don’t know what you look like.”
Janet clenched her skirt nervously,
No. She couldn’t take off her mask. Or he would recognize her!
“I–I’d better not, my king. I have a hideous burn scar on my face and I am afraid that it might scare you and the young master…”
“You think I will get scared by a scar?” Daran snorted.
