After I Torched Alive, My Alpha Went crazy novel Chapter 189

I nodded quickly, not daring to argue. "Of course, Your Majesty."

As I began to follow her, Cyrus suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

"Wait!" he said, his voice bright with excitement. "You're Queen Luna, right?"

The boldness of his action made my heart leap into my throat. "Cyrus!" I hissed.

I was still a little afraid of Queen Luna's majesty, but Cyrus, with his innocent charm, was completely unbothered. His curiosity had led him to take a step that even I might have hesitated to take.

The lady-in-waiting accompanying the Queen looked scandalized. "How dare you!" she snapped. "You're so rude!"

But Queen Luna didn't seem bothered. Instead, she looked down at Cyrus with a bemused smile. "And who might you be, young man?"

"I'm Cyrus," he said proudly, standing a little taller. "You're really pretty for a queen."

I nearly choked on air, but to my surprise, Queen Luna laughed—a soft, melodic sound that made everyone around her relax.

"Thank you, Cyrus," she said warmly. "And you're quite charming for someone so young."

The lady-in-waiting looked as though she might protest again, but Queen Luna raised a hand to silence her. "Leave him be," she said. "He's merely being honest."

She knelt down slightly, her gown pooling elegantly around her, and gently took Cyrus's hand in hers. "Tell me, Cyrus," she said, her voice soft. "What brings you here tonight?"

For the next ten minutes, Cyrus spoke animatedly about everything—from how he had come with me, to his excitement for the meeting, and even about how he'd mistaken Nova for my aunt.

"I was confused," Cyrus explained with a sheepish smile. "She acted like she was family, but then… well, I realized she wasn't exactly being friendly."

Queen Luna's smile deepened, clearly impressed by Cyrus's quick thinking. "You're observant," she said. "Not many your age would notice that."

Cyrus shrugged modestly. "I guess I'm good at reading people."

Queen Luna's gaze softened with respect. "Indeed, you are," she said, her voice tinged with admiration. "It's not just about what we see with our eyes, but what we sense about others. You have a keen mind, Cyrus."

As I sat down, I couldn't help but glance at Cyrus, who was already chatting away with the Queen as if they were old acquaintances. The sight made me smile despite my nerves.

The dinner table meeting hadn't even started yet, but Cyrus had already managed to charm one of the most powerful figures in the kingdom.

And as I watched him, a quiet thought settled in my mind: maybe he was stronger and more important than I'd ever realized.

As I walked into the grand venue, my heart skipped a beat at the sight of the numerous reporters lining the room, their cameras poised to capture every moment.

The flashing lights almost blinded me for a second, and the buzz of voices was overwhelming. This wasn't just a dinner, it was a public spectacle, and I was at the center of it.

I glanced across the room, where I spotted Cyrus standing beside Queen Luna. His small figure looked almost out of place next to her, but there was no doubt in my mind that he was unafraid.

His innocent, yet unshakable confidence seemed to shine through. On the other side of the room, Estelle was with King Alpha, the favored one as usual.

She stood tall, her presence commanding the room as always. But it was curious to me, Princess Faye, who was normally the one everyone turned to, seemed somewhat ignored, almost overshadowed by Estelle.
