In the past few days, King Killian observed that Elena had indeed gotten smarter and bolder. Yes, she was still shy but it was a cute type of shy. He also found out that she could handle some paperwork and had even handled some while he was not around. To say he wasn't impressed would be an understatement. She was so fast and catching up to things real quick. He was disappointed he had missed her growth though. If only he knew the driving force behind these significant changes.
After being cooked up for hours in his study, King Killian decided to go to the garden to get some fresh air. He paced around for a while, his mind blank as he tried not to think about anything, and after a while, he smelled Beta Gareth coming.
Without looking back, King Killian asked. "Any news?" His tone was firm as he kept his hands folded behind him.
