Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427: Sirius’s threats

Selene’s hovercar docked at her sky palace late at night. The journey back to the capital of the Federation, two planets away from the wastelands, had been long and arduous.

The federation capital sparkled under the night sky, a sea of lights that mirrored the stars above. Selene glided through the corridors of her palace with the grace and poise befitting a princess. Her presence was regal, her every step deliberate and elegant.

As she entered her leisure room, she paused, her eyes narrowing at the sight before her. In the dim light, her half-brother Sirius lounged in a chair, his silhouette cast in shadows. It was clear he had been waiting for her.

"You look nice," Sirius remarked, his voice smooth yet with an underlying edge. "Where have you been?" _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

Selene froze momentarily, taken aback by his unexpected appearance. However, she quickly regained her composure, her expression turning cold and aloof. "How does that have anything to do with you?" she retorted, her tone dismissive.

Without warning, Sirius rose abruptly, the sudden movement startling her. He stepped closer, his gaze intense as he studied her. Leaning in, he sniffed the air around her, his expression one of knowing familiarity. "Very familiar," he murmured. "Which omega have you been hanging around with?"

Selene’s eyes flashed with anger, a mix of indignation and defiance. She took a step back, her posture rigid. "You have no right to question me, Sirius," she said firmly, her voice steady despite the tension in the air.

Sirius’s sneer grew more pronounced as he watched her with a calculating gaze, the dim light casting long shadows across his face. The room was thick with unspoken words, the tension between them palpable. "Do you know that Xiang Yu is missing?" Sirius asked.

Selene’s breath caught in her chest, but she remained composed. "No, I didn’t know," she lied.

Sirius shrugged, casually glancing away. He suddenly reached out, toying with her hair. "You will tell me if you see him... right?"

Selene pulled her hair back. "Why does it matter? He’s not the crown prince of the Republic anymore."

"Don’t try and act stupid, Little Sel. You know what I want with him, so you will tell your dearest brother when you see him, right?" Sirius’s voice was smooth, but his intent was clear.

"Fine, but I feel like you should focus on what’s more important," Selene said, her voice steady.

Sirius chuckled. "Look at you, lecturing me... Go on, you must be tired."

Selene turned away to leave, her heart pounding as she tried to quell the storm of emotions within her. Just as she was about to exit, Sirius called out, "How about you invite me to hang out with your omega friend next time? I like her scent."

Selene froze for a split second. She put on a fake smile. "He has a boyfriend."

Sirius smirked. "So? As long as they are not married, they can still be pursued."

"You should stay away from my friends," Selene said before rushing out.

As she left the leisure room, she could still feel Sirius’s eyes on her, a reminder that she couldn’t do anything without him knowing. She couldn’t go and see Xiang Yu anymore otherwise she would break her promise to keep his secret.

AN: Hmm I wonder why?
