All Chapters of Trapped with the Alpha King: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

Days passed, and the long feast continued as scheduled. Life in the palace returned to its usual rhythm.Gavriel had originally intended for Althea to attend court meetings regularly, but with her pregnancy, he limited her presence to once or twice a week, depending on how she felt.After all, they could always discuss important matters in private. Althea often asked about the court sessions, sharing her thoughts and opinions, which Gavriel always took into careful consideration.Today’s session was supposed to be routine. Yet, Gavriel’s expression remained unusually sour.The reason was simple. Kael Moore was present again. He almost forgot about this man…At the front of the hall, Minister Marius Ward stood with the shortlisted candidates for the position of Minister of Justice that had been long vacant. After rounds of screening and elimination, only four remained.“Your Majesty, we will proceed with the next stage of selection through a majority vote from the Royal Council. The fo

The marketplace was especially lively that day. More merchants than usual had arrived because of the week-long celebration for the Queen’s pregnancy. The King had opened the borders to traders for the occasion, though strict protocols were still in place to maintain security.Beatrice found herself enjoying the outing far more than she expected. She wandered from stall to stall, looking at different goods and occasionally buying small items. Lord Evan accompanied her closely, and to her surprise, Uriel was there as well… carrying most of her purchases.“Are you sure you don’t need to go, my Lord?” she asked Uriel deliberately while browsing through a boutique that displayed neatly folded scarves. “I thought you needed to buy medicines.”“Right, my lord,” Lord Evan added politely. “I will make sure Lady Beatrice remains safe with me around.”Beatrice caught the brief gloomy look that crossed Uriel’s face before he quickly masked it with his usual calm expression.“Gustav and Juno are h

The deliverance was supposed to happen tonight after dinner. That had been their plan once Althea confirmed whether there was any demonic or unclean spirit inside Kael’s body. They intended to invite Kael and the other contestants to dine with them, then quietly ask everyone else to leave afterward so Kael could remain behind. That was when they would begin the deliverance. It was meant to be their first operation.Originally, it would have been Gavriel and Osman performing the deliverance with Althea guiding them. But Gavriel had already refused to let his wife become physically involved. Unfortunately for him, Althea was stubborn.They had already begun forming a small group of gifted individuals who could see and sense demonic and unclean spirits. In the future, this group would assist during deliverance rites under Gavriel’s lead together with Althea. However, the members were still undergoing training and screening. Elior himself would arrive in two days to personally guide the

Beatrice looked at herself in the full-length mirror. She looked magnificent in her gown for the masquerade ball.It had been days since she last saw Uriel, and she hoped he would attend the gathering tonight.Princess Riela had told her that Uriel had suddenly asked for leave for two days, and no one knew where he had gone.“Seriously… was it really that hard for him?” she muttered in annoyance as she stared at her reflection. “Why is the wall he built around himself so difficult to break?”At this rate, all the hope she once held was slowly beginning to crumble. She had thought everything would go smoothly according to her plan, but it seemed she had overestimated herself.She believed competing with a dead woman wouldn’t be so difficult. But she had been wrong.Uriel still seemed convinced that he didn’t deserve happiness… not when he believed he was the reason a woman lost her life and her future.Beatrice felt like she was only going in circles, especially after the way Uriel sim

The next day, Althea was having an early breakfast with Gavriel on their balcony.She would have loved to join Queen Mother Wilma, Princess Riela, and Lady Beatrice to ask about the masquerade ball last night and hear how everything went. But her sensitive pregnancy in the first trimester made it difficult.More often than not, her stomach would turn during breakfast or even after small meals. Because of that, she decided it was best to eat privately in their bedchamber instead. She didn’t want anyone else to lose their appetite because of her condition.Gavriel usually stayed with her during meals, unless he was away or attending important meetings. Even then, Melva often insisted on staying behind to keep her company.“What is it? Are you feeling sick?” Gavriel asked worriedly when her expression soured the moment she sipped the chicken soup during breakfast.“I don’t like it,” she murmured weakly.“But you liked this yesterday,” Gavriel reminded her.She shrugged and gently rested
