Ethan's Pov
A guard rushed to me and knelt on one knee. "Duncan and his people are here."
I glanced at the cave area coldly. "Where is Elijah?"
The maid around me blushed, making me wonder what's going on with them. "Uhmm… his highness is mating with Lady Norah," one of them said.
I raised a brow and checked the time. It's almost 5pm. He can't even wait till night, and about Norah… it seems he's about to start a family war for choosing Norah over Katherine. Katherine's family are very proud and won't want to lose to the Duke family.
I'm very sure he didn't tell her he was about to do the ritual they do during marriage week. He had loved her since childhood, but she was good at running away.
She happened to follow her family to check on the queen yesterday; Elijah used the opportunity to mark her, making her believe he's drunk. He knew she would find him after that night.
Who knows he already planned the ritual ceremony.
