Helga hadn't seen the Alpha King once. She had requested meetings and tried to visit his study, but he was always unavailable. So naturally, Helga was a little disappointed with his absence, especially when she wanted to at least hear his thoughts on the decisions she was making
Tx not that he doesn't want to meet you, he just has important duties to fulfill at the border between our nation and the neighboring country."

"Why not wait for him? He might come back tonight." Portia suggested, prompting Helga to turn her head to look at her, considering her words "You were already considered the Alpha King's fiancée, despite the lack of an engagement ring. So, think it's acceptable to be more assertive in establishing your relationship with His Majesty." Helga's heart sank as she nodded, knowing that her marriage to Stegren was not the romantic union she had always dreamed of. Though she had lost hope in finding and meeting her fated mate, she had longed to at least marry her chosen mate and have a loving marriage with him.

They must work together harmoniously in order to govern their people effectively and pave a promising future for their r country. "All right, I will do that. Do you think I can tend to him when he returns?" Helga asked, smiling slightly. She had learned from Lama Viola's strict lessons that it was the Luna's duty to take care of her Alpha, and that's what exactly she wanted to do even though she wasn't officially crowned yet. She thought that taking care of him would be a crucial moment in their relationship, a chance to deepen their connection and learn more about each other. "Usually the butler attends to his Majesty, but if you insist on taking care of him, the Alpha King may allow it," Partia replied with a welcoming smile. Helga nodded eagerly, hoping to build a better relationship with Siegren even though he didn't seem particularly fond of her.

W-Welcome back, Your Majesty. I was just about to go to you, what brings you here? Is something the matter?" Helga's voice trembled as she struggled to articulate her words.
