Chapter 106
Jwas very curious to see the Rogue King’s headquarters.
They had heard a lot of rumors about this place, the Grace Ruin. But none of the people they knew had
actually set foot here.
Until today.
They arrived at the mysterious land by themselves.
It was actually a beautiful city with ancient and exotic architecture. The streets winded through a
mosaic of buildings, from towering spires to weathered stone bridges arching gracefully over the
canals.
The scent of spices mingled with the melodies of street musicians, flooding into the car through the
lowered window.
“Well, it is actually not that bad.”
Jwhispered to Daran while watching a group of children running down the street, chasing a falling
kite.
“It is nothing like what I have imagined before.”
“What have you imagined?” Daran asked while playing with a lock of her hair. “Like streets filled with
blood and corpses? Buildings built with skulls? You know…like hell?”
Daran let out a light snort, “Lance is not stupid. This is his home, his headquarters. If he turns this place
to hell, no rogues will ever want to settle down here. He needs the manpower. So he has to make this
place welcoming.”
His face turned dark slightly.
“But he is not this nice to other people’s homes,” he said in a cold voice.
Jwas reminded of the soaring fire in the Fox Town, the hung bodies on the flagpoles of the
Crimson Fortress.
Lance was a monster for sure. Inside and out.
They needed to end his life before he got another chance to invade their territory.
The car call the way deep into the belly area of the city and stopped in front of a magnificent
palace.
This must be where Lance resided.
Daran and Jgot out of the car.
They looked around and found a group of rogues watching them from the distan They all dressed like
servants and were whispering to one another with horrified faces.

“A-Alpha Daran…and Miss Janet…Good day.”

Daran let out an icy sneer.
“I am in no mood to see him now,” he said coldly. “Now, show us to our room.”
The servants looked astonished.
He obviously didn’t want to obey Lance’s order. Yet he also didn’t have enough courage to force Daran
into anything.
While the servant was still in a trance, Daran held Janet’s hand walked past him in long strides, and
made his way up the staircase.
“H-Hold on a second!”
The servant cried in panic, catching up with them hastily, “This way please…”
On their way to the guest room, they bumped into many servants and maids.
All those people dodged to the sides franticly when they saw Daran and lowered their heads as much
as possible to avoid eye contact with him.
Jwas amazed by this.
“They all seem terrified of you,” she whispered to Daran.
Daran smiled faintly.
“Apparently so,” he said.
“For what? Do you know?”
Daran said in an offhand voice, “I have fought too many battles. Killed too many rogues.”
If this was said by another person, it would sound like bragging.
But not for Daran.
Daran simply told the truth.
Even though they were alone in the Rogue King’s kingdom, these rogues still feared Daran like hell.
They were brought into a suite on the top floor. The room was gorgeously furnished with a great garden
view.
Looked like Lance was really treating them like guests, not prisoners.
“What do you think he is up to?” jasked Daran in a low voice. “Bring us back here and treat us so
nicely?”
Daran took his seat on the couch very calmly.
“He is apparently up to something. And we will find out about that soon,” he said. “This is a race. Does
he get what he wants first, or do we kill him first?”
Jsmiled and sat down next to him, “I bet my money on the latter.”
They snugged on the couch. Jfelt a little tired. Daran held her in his arms and told her to a nap.
Jshut her eyes, taking a deep breath of Daran’s scent.
This was amazing.
They were in their enemy’s headquarters, But she didn’t feel afraid at all.
Probably because she knew that she was safe as long as Daran was by her side.
He was the greatest Alpha. Capable of anything in the world.
Jfell asleep in Daran’s arms. She slept lightly. After what felt like an hour or so, she heard some
low whisperings.
…I am truly sorry, Alpha Daran. But the King is here, waiting to see you…”
Jlet out a small yawn and opened her eyes.
A maid knelt on the floor in front of them. She was too afraid to raise her head and look at them.
Jrubbed her sleepy eyes, “Lance is here?”
“Yeah, apparently he chimself,” Daran shrugged. “Do you want to sleep a little longer? I am sure
he can wait.”
Jchuckled, “No, I am fine. Go ahead and see what he wants. He seems really desperate.”
“Do you want to calong?” Daran asked.
“The King wants to see you only, Alpha Daran,” said the maid carefully.
Daran cast a freezing look at her, “Nobody cares what he wants.”
The maid quivered and shut her mouth.
“So?” Daran asked Jagain.
“No, I am fine. You go ahead,” Jsmiled. “I have had enough of that face in one day already.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaran nodded and stood up, kissing Jon her forehead.
“I will be back shortly,” he said.
Daran and the maid left the room.
Jstretched her body a bit and walked to the window.
She looked outside.
There were guards patrolling around. And servants were mowing the lawns and
trimming the trees under the guard’s watch If the servants were a minute slow
Janet’s eyes darkened.
This place wasn’t so peaceful and quiet at a second look.
Just then, a loud noise cfrom behind her back.
Jturned around and found the suite’s room had been busted open and a group of people marched
right inside.
The woman walking at the front was nobody else but Harper.
Jnarrowed her eyes dangerously.
She was not surprised to see Harper here.
This evil woman must have been working with Lance when they were still in Crimson Fortress.
Together, they killed Veronica.
“Well, hello there, my little sister.”
Harper curved her lips into a malicious smile.
“Do you miss me?”
Harper burst into roaring laughter abruptly.
“Oh yeah?”
Jsneered and walked up to Harper,
Harper took a quick step back intuitively, Japproached her one more step
“What makes you think that you have the right to execute me?” Jhissed
Harper was intimidated by Janet,
She gulped nervously and puffed her chest, pretending to be mighty and tough. “Because-I am the
King’s mate!”
Harper announced proudly,
Meet the Queen of all rogues, you bitch!”
