Elian's POV
*****
[So you're definitely going for Beta Axel for this mission, right?]
Elian made sure his face was expressionless as he walked down the hallway after stepping out of his room. He passed a few maids who either gave him awkward smiles or judgemental stares.
No greetings. No acknowledgement.
None of that.
"I heard he almost got killed this morning." A maid whispered behind him once he was nearing the metal door leading to one of the palace's Ascension platforms.
He glanced over his shoulder, trying hard to listen to what they were saying. Because it was definitely about him.
"Wait, really? Who could've wanted to kill him?" Another maid added.
"Really? Pftt... Please, Doralia. He's a servant, a weakling even among omegas who suddenly became the Alpha Prince's mate." The first maid who spoke sniggered. "He's bound to have enemies everywhere now. I'm sure of it."
