Chapter 728 - WASTING TIME

"This is not a good idea to let a woman," Sebastian halted to throw Lilac a disdain look, "a guardian angel to talk with these people."

The corner of Lilac\'s lips moved upward when she patted Sebastian\'s back. "Don\'t worry Sebastian, if something happened and these people got out of control, I will save you," Lilac insulted him with light tone, as if she was praising him.

Lyrus, who heard that too, pretended he was looking at the other direction, to hide his smile. This girl indeed had sharp mind and tongue. What a good combination…

Then he remembered about the mate that Torak had. The moon goddess indeed found a suitable soul to match with each Donovan. If Lilac was Raine, she wouldn\'t survive a day with Jedrek\'s bad temperament or silenced all the generals who went against her.

Lyrus was curious, what kind of mate that Kace had…

Lilac walked ahead before she could hear Sebastian\'s angry respond and stood in the middle of the people.

Ever since Lilac walked with, well known, Jedrek\'s second general and the royal Beta, every eyes were on her. They were looking with curiosity and would whisper to the people beside them.

Lilac didn\'t need to have hearing ability like those shifters to know what they were talking about. Those people were curious about her identity. The other day, she walked with the king and just a few days ago, she walked with the general Theo and now, she even walked with the king\'s beta and the second general.

Who is this young girl?

Lilac stood in the center of the people and looked at the beautiful vistas of the city. The bright light of the sun highlighted the colorful trees, the sight that Lilac would never grow tired of witnessing, and the buildings, creating shadow that encased on her.

However, in contrast, Lilac had to face the people who were asking for justice for their missing family member.

"We want the explanation from the king! Who are you?!" A tall, blond- haired man in the middle of the crowd suddenly shouted at Lilac and it followed by the ripples of the same questions from the rest of the people.

"Listen to what I have to say!" Lilac tried to shout as loud as she could, but her voice died down among the crowd.

"No one will listen to you," Sebastian sneered, but Lilac just glanced at him and ignored him completely.

"Do you want to silence those people?" Lyrus offered and this would go without saying that this offer would include brute force. That was the only way that worked on the shifter, they would only bow to someone more powerful than them.

"No need." Lilac turned down the Beta\'s offer and crossed her arms. "Let\'s wait."

And what Lilac meant with \'wait\', they were literally waiting for the crowd to stop asking, shouting their question.

Lilac stood there unaffected, with Sebastian on her left side and Lyrus on her right side while the guards were standing closely, ready to take an action if it came to violence.

Lilac was staring at the people around her, looking at them one by one in their eyes, as though she was going to remember every faces that she saw at this very moment.

Five minutes have passed, but those people where still shouting at Lilac.

"What are you going to do?!" Sebastian was running out of patience.

"I said, we wait." Lilac enunciated her words firmly.

The second general groaned and felt stupid to have to follow this girl\'s order, he looked at Lyrus and asked him through his eyes, whether he knew what Lilac was up to, but the Beta didn\'t have any idea. He was at lost too.

But, after another ten minutes, the commotion finally died down, as they realized that Lilac didn\'t even try to talk to them, she just stood there and stared at them until it became awkward, as though they were shouting at wall, which didn\'t give any respond to what they wanted.

When the shrill scream reduced to a mere murmur and one man stepped forward to ask her with loud voice, Lilac finally opened mouth.

"Why don\'t you talk?!" the man shouted at her.

"If we all talk, then who will listen? I have heard you and now it\'s my turn to talk." Lilac looked at them and the murmurs died down. "I want you to choose three people that you can trust, as a representative of you. You can give your list of questions to these people and they will meet with the king two days from now. The king will answer your questions in the castle."

There were murmurs among the people, but they started to look at each other, trying to decide who would represent them.

"I hope to see your representative three days from now." After saying that, Lilac walked away.

"That\'s it?" Sebastian asked in disbelieve.

"That\'s it." Lilac gave the general a triumphant smile as she walked past the people, who was now distracted with the order that Lilac gave earlier.

Even though Lilac\'s method seemed very simple, it managed to calm the public. At least to avoid far greater riot.

"If you just wanted to say that, you shouldn\'t have come here, you can get one of the guards to deliver your message." Sebastian rolled his eyes in annoyance. "You waste my time."

Lilac stopped walking when she heard that. "Wasting your time? I don\'t even remember that I asked you to come with me. It is Jedrek who told you, to come with me to this city. And, just like those people, it is not about the message or the order, it is about WHO delivered it." Lilac smirked contemptuously at him.

"I think you should start to use your brain over your brawn and watch what you say. Next time I will not be very kind when you insult me in front of other people." Lilac gave a final warning, before she raised her hand to signal to the guards that they should continue on their way to the castle.

"We need to talk somewhere," Lana hissed to Raphael as she looked around warily. The conversation between them wouldn\'t be something for human to hear.

However, the only thing that Raphael had in his mind was the fact that Lana didn\'t let go of his hand when she led the way toward a more private place, away from the staring eyes from the people in the village.

"Right, we have a lot of things to talk about," Raphael agreed. He let Lana to take him, wherever she wanted.
