Ileus: The Dark Prince Chapter 690 Spies

Chapter 690 Spies

Anastasia sat on the tall bar stool with a tumbler in her hand along with Kaizan on her left. She grinned at her husband who was clearly offended. "Why are you so angry, my dear?" she said and sipped her wine. She loved when he became angry and especially when she teased him. The golden eyes would become like twin golden flames.
Without looking at Kaizan, Ileus said, "Man, get out of here. This whole thing is going to become so intense that you won't like it!"
Anastasia placed her hand on Kaizan's thigh and stopped him. "Stay here," she commanded him. Kaizan raised his eyebrow and Ileus went all ballistic when he saw his wife's hand on Kaizan's thigh.
"Do you want me to toss him out?" Ileus growled at his wife. "Or maybe kill the fucker?"
Anastasia crossed her leg over her thigh and said, "Why would I want that? Kaizan is a nice man." She sipped more whiskey, as she stared at him over the rim of her glass. "He is here for a piece of advice and my narcissistic husband is telling him to do something that would enrage Olivia."
Ileus narrowed his eyes. He strode to where she was sitting, picked her up in his arms and brought her back to the bed even as she squealed all the way back. He made her sit on his lap, his arms tightly wrapped around her stomach. "You sit with me," he growled as he dipped his face in the crook of his neck.
Anastasia couldn't help laughing. "You are such a baby," she said and tousled his hair.
"Hmm. I am your baby," he nibbled at her ear, his cock already hard as rock.
Anastasia gulped her wine and then turned her attention to Kaizan who was looking at them with longing as if he missed doing all those things with his mate. She sighed and shook her head. These men were such babies when it came down to dealing with their emotions. "Kaizan, Olivia is going to be very emotional for the next one year."
Kaizan's mouth dropped to the floor. "The heck?"𝑓ree𝑤𝘦𝚋𝐧𝘰ve𝑙. co𝒎
Anastasia giggled. "It's the pregnancy that makes a woman so sensitive. You just have to deal with it. But all I can say is that I feel for her. She is too young and this is the time when she should have been having fun with you. I mean the kids could have waited for another year at least." She put her hand up as Ileus took the wine glass from her hand and kept it on the bedside table. "I am not judging you, because ultimately it was Olivia who decided on becoming pregnant."
"The circumstances were different..." Kaizan replied remembering how she was all in for the peace treaty to be successful. He rubbed his mouth.
"I know that Kaizan," Anastasia said. "Now that you are in it, you have to be patient with her. All those visit to the south with his son and Inyanga for a short holiday, he came across the two spies. He 23:04
recommended them to the king. In fact, you should meet them Ileus. I know you have declined the changes in the body make you feel slightly disturbed. You have to support her and that is all."
"Yes, like the way I supported Anastasia," Ileus added with a smug smile.
She rolled her eyes recalling that he was so scared of even announcing the pregnancy to her. "So, what are your plans for the summer? Why don't you take a week off and spend time with Olivia?"
Kaizan pursed his lips. "I wish I could do that. The king has asked me to oversee the transfers of some soldiers from the south. They have been promoted and transferred to the capital. I will be hosting a welcome dinner for them in two days in which the king and the queen would be there."
Ileus's brows scrunched. "I have heard that two spies are amongst them. And they are one of the most brilliant ones so far."
"Yes," Kaizan said, placing his glass on the counter. "Haldir was kind of impressed by them. Over his visit to the south with his son and Inyanga for a short holiday, he came across the two spies. He recommended them to the king. In fact, you should meet them Ileus. I know you have declined the invite, but this is going to be important."
Ileus rested his head over his wife's shoulder. "There are two more invitations the same day. So I am not sure..."
Kaizan got up from his place. "I better make a move now. It is late and Olivia must be lonely."
Anastasia laughed. "Go!"
As soon as Kaizan stepped out of the door and closed it behind him, he heard another squeal from her and shook his head. Ileus was growling all over and making animalistic sounds.
He made a resolution to apologize to his wife. When he reached home, it was late in the night. He padded his way up in order not to wake up people, especially his wife, but when he reached his room, he found that she wasn't there. Panic gripped him. He whipped his head around and found that she was on the balcony. Kaizan was surprised and when he reached the balcony, he heard her sniffle. "Olivia!" he rushed to her and sat beside her on the couch. She was wearing a soft chemise and had wrapped a shawl around her. The night air was cool. "What happened, love?" he asked, touching her hand and feeling terrible on the inside.
Olivia lifted her face. Her eyes were teary. She clutched his hand and softly said, "I am sorry."
Kaizan jerked his head back with bewilderment. "What for?"
"I was so rude to you earlier." She nibbled at her lips in anticipation. "I shouldn't have been—"
Kaizan was so moved that his heart cracked. "Olivia!" he said in a breathy voice and pulled her in his embrace before she completed her sentence. He pressed her cheek to his chest. "You don't have to be sorry, my darling."
"I have to be." She wiped her tears. "Because of me you came so late and spent your time out of the house." She placed her hands on his chest. "I am so bad."
"Hell, no!" Kaizan stroked her head all the way down to her back. "You are the loveliest woman I have ever come across. Don't you say that again."
She kissed him on his chest. "I love you."
"I think I love you more," he breathed. He chided himself for leaving her alone. "Would you like to go inside?"
She nodded and Kaizan scooped her in his arms. "Sorry to make you cry." He held her close to his chest. She moaned in his arms and hid her face in his chest. The bed was warm and cozy. He made her lie down and sat beside her after tucking her in the sheets. Strands of hair stuck to her cheeks which he removed gently. "Now sleep."
She leaned her face in his hand and kissed his palm. "Come, join me."
Two days later, Kaizan was hosting a dinner for the new soldiers who had traveled from the south at his home. Both he and Ileus were staring at the two spies with wonder who Haldir had recommended. They were young, with raven black hair, muscular built and very macho identical looks. They were so charming that the women who were amongst the crowd drooled over them yet they stayed in the background—a typical trait of a spy. "They are twins."
Suddenly, Paige entered.
