The meeting has been adjourned by Alpha King Burkoo with the members of the Council of elders glowing with a new vision in life.
As they were all out of his office, Alpha King Burkoo was able to release a long breath as a sign of relief. He did not expect that it will be easy for him to open the minds of the members of the council of elders into believing for more valid reasons rather than sticking to that hate within them that they were all carrying for a long time.
He smiled and congratulated himself on a job well done. Now, he will have no reservation anymore nor fear that the Glodeous Kingdom would despise his decision to eventually marry Princess Neoma and make her his Luna Queen.
Suddenly, he misses his beloved Princess Neoma. "I am wondering what she is doing right now," he thought.
He smiled once again and then leaned his back on his swivel chair while his hands were underneath his head supporting it. He closed his eyes and remembered how he and Princess Neoma kissed so passionately at the cabana near the swimming pool.
However, another scene flashed through his mind, a scene he considered a sin against Princess Neoma. He deeply closed his eyes with regrets in his heart.
How could he forget the scene and how will he solve the problem. He can guess that once his decision to marry Princess Neoma soon spread all over his Kingdom, someone is going to be hurt and will definitely retaliate.
He wanted to pull his hair in frustration.
He was at that kind of momentum when he heard knocks on his office door.
"Come in. It is not locked."
And so the person outside entered his office and Alpha King Burkoo almost curse. It seemed like his earlier contemplation is going to happen already.
"Alpha King Burkoo, are you busy now? Can I have a time with you? I wanted to speak with you," his visitor asked.
"Twinkle, I just finished a long meeting and am about to rest. Please come some other time," he replied that suddenly bringing sadness to the lovely face of his Beta's daughter.
Alpha King Burkoo stood up and opened his office door.
"You may get out first, Twinkle before I leave this office, he said as he motioned to the woman to get out of his office.
Teary-eyed, Twinkle slowly walked out of the Alpha King's office and then stopped beside him.
"I hope you will not be tired anymore, tomorrow, my Alpha King," she said softly before she walked away.
Alpha King Burkoo just looked at her but did not reply.
He followed her back with his eyes, with a guilty kind of look.
He just messed up something and he knew, he is going to pay the prize whether he liked it or not.
He shook his head with disgust at himself for being so weak from temptations. He will not repeat it, and he swore about it.
He plunged himself into the soft mattress of his king-size bed the moment he entered his room and closed his eyes. He wanted to sleep, he wanted to forget that one time in his life, he sinned against Princess Neoma.

At the Knostican Kingdom, Prince Quacey and Princess Neoma were ready for their trip to the Glodoeus Kingdom. They were all set up.
"Twin sister, how about just using your teleporting power so that we will be there at the Glodeous Kingdom now?" Prince Quacey asked who suddenly became excited to reach the Glodeous Kingdom soonest.
"Prince Quacey, you know very well that it will take a quantum of energy from me, so I will only use it if necessary and it means not at this instance. Let us go now to the parking area, our driver is waiting for us," Princess Neoma said as she started to take a walk. Scratching his head, Prince Quacey followed her.
"Yes, Suprema Queen. Here I am following your order Luna Queen," Prince Quacey said teasingly as he walked fast to catch up with her walking pace.
They just have a short journey. Within thirty minutes, their car was already entering the main gate of the Glodeous Kingdom.
"See, it is just quick. We are here already, twin brother Quacey," Princess Neoma told his twin brother who just snorted at her upon hearing her statement.
They entered the palace and looked for their parents, whom they found to be in the throne's hall.
King Timodore and Queen Asalea happily stood up from their thrones and let themselves be hugged by their twins.
Prince Quacey is still like the naughty boy he was once when he was still a little boy, while Princess Neoma is still that strict sister who never easily gives in to his twin brother's caprices.
"So, what is happening now in Knostican palace, Prince Quacey?" King Timodore asked his son, who readily shook his head and said.
"Nothing much, King Father. As usual, it was boring days for me when I was there," he said without any filter at all. He usually says what is in his mind
"Well, you've got to think of some activities there that will make the palace not boring at all," it was Queen Asalea who spoke in retort to her son's boring statement.
Alright, Queen Mother don't worry I will contemplate about doing your suggestion. I mean, I will do it," Prince Quacey replied as he saw the big rounding eyes of his Queen Mother.
"Now, let us be serious here. Princess Neoma, I hope you will not be getting married soon to the Alpha King of Ecleteon Kingdom," Queen Asalea said again but this time her eyes were darted deeply to Princess Neoma and Prince Quacey chuckled.
"No, Queen mother. I don't have the intention yet. I am only eighteen. Besides, I already told Alpha King Burkoo that he should wait as I am not yet ready to be a married woman, more so to be his Luna Queen at this point," Princess Neoma answered with pride and firmness and Queen Asalea's face turned glowing upon hearing her daughter's answer. To be honest, she and King Timodore are not yet ready when it comes to losing their twins as early as now because of marriage.
