"There are about ten whores outside, they are saying that the man named Philip let them in and after they acquired his services he didn't pay them" the girl said, her eyes avoiding the queen, her face changing ten different shades of red. 

Cecilia remained quiet, her attention turning instantly to Philip who sat in his chair frozen, looking back and forth in distress. 

"I…I swear I did…" he mumbled and Kai bit his lip, trying to stop himself. Lun right next to him slapped his thigh gently, both of them trying to keep from bursting into laughter.

"What kind of sick joke is this?" The queen asked, her voice cold like an iceberg. 

Octavius was on his feet, his face expressing pure distress and worry. It was unbelievable how one of his most trusted men had committed such a foolish act. He looked at Philip, his usually gentle eyes wide, waiting for some kind of explanation.

The giggling of the girl was non stop and the shouts of their head lady could be clearly heard inside the dinning room. The door had been closed by the maid, to avoid irking the queen even more but it seemed to have no effect. Her green eyes had turned into wild flames, furious with the disrespect that took place right in her own house.

"Is anyone going to say anything?" Cecilia shouted.

"Philip!" His Alpha exclaimed, his loud voice echoing in the silent room. The young man flinched, not knowing who to refer to. His face fell, a bright red color as he tried to gather his thoughts. He wasn't the one who had called them, he would never do such a thing during a mission, he would never do such a disgraceful thing, period.

"Sir, it is obviously not Philip who did it." Mika jumped in, intending to defend his friend. He placed his palm on his shoulder, trying to calm him down and show him his support. "You know Philip would never do such a thing. He has obviously been set up by someone" he continued and his eyes landed on Kai. The prince held his head high pretending he didn't notice the suspicious stare and Lun looked at the queen, trying to read her expression as she followed the werewolf's eyes.

"Why are you looking at my son?" The queen asked him, her tone aggressive. "Octavius, are you really going to keep this insult going?" she asked and her words were followed by the loud voices of the women outside. "Someone get these women out of my palace!" She screamed, distressed and the little maid that stood by the door jumped, shocked. She opened the door, only getting out by a small opening so the girls wouldn't find a way to sneak in, leaving one chaos to head to the other.

Cecilia waited for a second, her eyes pinned to the door as she expected the noises to quiet down. Thankfully, for everyone's sake the girls were removed from the entrance. When she was sure she was not going to hear that sinful laughter again she took a deep breath and started talking again.

"I asked you, why were you looking at my son as you said that" The queen asked Mika. The red haired man didn't look to be terrified by her. He was planning on telling her everything. About their meeting, about how the childish prince had acted. That way Philip wouldn't get punished or at least he would gain some time.

His best friend stopped him though. He extended his arm, putting a stop at the beginning of his story and raised his head. His eyes simply brushed off from Kai, not even staying for a second as he faced the furious queen.

"I sincerely apologize." Philip told her, his voice steady as he bowed. "I do not know how something like this happened but I assure you that I did not bring these women here." he said.

"Your highness I am sure that there has been a mistake. I know my men. They are not those kinds of kids. They are very careful and respectful." Octavius defended them.

"Then how did they know your name young wolf?" The queen asked.

"That, I do not know. But we have made no contact with anyone else. Once we arrived we headed to the guest room. We do not intend to cause any uproar. I promise."

"Bring their main lady here" Cecilia told the guard that stood by the door. "Let's see then, if you haven't met anyone they won't know you." she told the wolves. "Listen to me Octavius. If this woman recognizes your men, I assure you a punishment will be received. I want to make myself clear about that." She told the Alpha. Octavius looked disappointed, a sigh escaping his lips as he shook his head.

"Even though I am sure my boy is not involved I do understand. If he has actually done something so shameful he will need to be punished. You have my word, I will not object." he agreed.

"Sir!" Mika shouted, hitting his palm on the table. Octavius' eyes widened, his muscles tense as he grabbed Mika and pulled him away from Philip.

"Silence, you have no right to speak here. Don't be any more disrespecting than this." His Alpha told him in between gritted teeth. Their eyes met, making Mika look away. The kind man was pleading for him to stop, he would only make things worse if he kept talking.

For a few minutes silence spread in the room, Kai and Lun observing the scene before them in fascination while everyone, his siblings involved were tense with anxious expressions. Except his mother, she was simply furious, her hands forming fists on her sides as she stared intensely at the door.

"Your highness." The guard said as he returned, holding a tall woman by the arm. She was dressed in revealed clothing, the fabric almost sheer, her legs and breast exposed while she wore noisy fake jewelry, her face plastered with intense make up. Even though in all her tackiness she was beautiful, her eyes lively as she hoped in, pushed by the soldier. She turned back to look at him, clicking her tongue annoyed by his rough treatment.

"Your majesty" The woman said and bowed.

"Tell us, who called you and your women here?" Cecilia asked.

"I told you, the man named Philip." the whore said and the queen frowned.

"Point at the man, between everyone here, who is the one that allowed you to enter my house? Do not be afraid, no harm will come to you nor your girls. I just want you to very carefully show me who was the one that did it."

The woman seemed skeptic, her eyes traveling in between the men in the room and Kai's heart began to race. He was scared of being exposed, it would be too much if his plan failed so easily. He looked at the woman right back, trying to show he had nothing to hide.

"Come on now." Cecilia urged her again and the woman raised her arm, pointing at one of them.

"This one" she said, a gasp echoing in the room.
