Chapter 97 The Coronation

• It took all my strength to refrain from crying and hugging him and tell him, "I love you even if you won't say it back." True enough, a blizzard from outside made us eat in the dining hall after all. No one questioned the Alpha King of Winter even when everyone in the country knew that the weather is tied to His Majesty’s emotions. We could have grilling and roasting and drinking outside if only the sky was clear and the stars were out.
• “Kal, please...” I pleaded. “If your mood is because I said those three words to you, then I don’t mean to invade your personal space or someone else in your heart,” I paused and lifted my glassy eyes at him. “I’m just telling you how I really feel.”
• Kal gaped and swallowed his buttered potatoes. He shook his head. “It’s not about you, my winter sunshine. It’s more about me. It’s just...can’t we talk about that right now, please? It’ll only make my already cold mood even colder.” He glanced outside the window where a storm rages.
