<h4>Chapter 533: Such a sweet boy?</h4>


    Katelyn was looking at the setting sun when she decided to talk to her mother. It had been more than three days since shest talked to her. A lot happened with Sage and his family that she didn’t get time to do it.


    As she dialed Mabel’s number, she waited until the call was finally answered.


    "Kate, how are you?! Finally, you decided to call me. I heard what happened in the Nightshade Pack," Mabel stated. "I have been waiting for your call ever since that day."


    "Mom, how did you find out? Good evening. I’m doing well," she then quickly greeted her, not forgetting her etiquettes.


    "Does it matter how I found out? Where are you at the moment?" asked Mabel.


    "I’m at Sage’s house. He needed me, so I couldn’t leave him. Mom, Dad, we willing to the pce tomorrow. Everything is sorted here," Katelyn answered.


    "That’s wonderful to hear. We will talk more tomorrow. Take care of yourself," Mabel stated, keeping her stern tone.


    "Yes, Mom. By the way, how’s Brother Cas? Suddenly, rumors about him and Zilia are spreading fast," Katelyn said with a worried tone.


    "That was bound to happen after how Juniper exposed the identity of Zilia. Casaio is coping with it. But Idris became a victim of it," Mabel delivered the sad news of the boy being bullied by his ssmates.


    "What? What happened to Idris? Don’t tell me, Mom, he’s getting bullied!" Katelyn couldn’t believe that kids were targetting Idris for no reason. It was known to everyone that Idris lived as a captive for so many years.


    "Yes, he got bullied. Casaio was furious. He has taken an action against the entire academy staff. The matter was too serious this time. Casaio didn’t listen to me when I told him marrying Zilia would only bring disaster to their lives. And it has started already."


    Katelyn could feel the underlying worry in the tone of her mother.


    "Mom, you know Brother Cas. He was suffering after rejecting Zilia. Though their rtionship becameplex right after Zilia’s identity was exposed but Brother Cas couldn’t shake the feelings away he always felt for Zilia. Support them, please," Katelyn requested her mother. "I know as a queen you’re thinking all this, but be a mother first."


    "Kate, it’s not that simple anymore. A political fallout in Casaio’s career will mean he will not even be acknowledged as the prince. Let’s just drop it. I’ll be waiting for you and Sage tomorrow. Take care of yourself." Mabel then ended the telephonic conversation.


    Katelyn sighed as she lowered the phone. Just then, the doors of her room opened, and Sage walked in.


    "I brought some cookies for you. Zoey made them for you," Sage said, lowering the tray with a te on it on which cookies rested. He saw a worried expression on Katelyn’s face and asked, "What happened?"


    "Idris got bullied. I talked to Mom earlier," Katelyn answered. "She already knows what happened here."


    "Your mother has a well-establishedwork of spies," Sage remarked, referring to how she found out the entire incident that happened in the pack. "Isn’t Idris the younger brother of Lady Zilia? Who bullied such a sweet boy? I saw him in the weing ceremony of Noah."


    "You must be so busy in punishing your stepmother that you forgot to check the hot news circting in the entire social media these days. My brother and Zilia are getting hate. I hate Juniper. She is the reason for the destruction of peace in their lives!" Katelyn said in a frustrating tone.


    "Calm down, Kate," Sage said, walking to her. He ced his hands over her shoulders and continued, "Prince Casaio had to undergo this one day or the other. I know Juniper yed dirty, but such truths aren’t easy to bury. I condemn it. And Idris didn’t even have any fault in this."


    "You talk like my mother sometimes," Katelyn said, rolling her eyes. "I didn’t ask you before hug are you happy that your stepmother got life imprisonment?"


    "Yes. Though death was the only way to punish for her crimes, I couldn’t go against my council. I had to listen to the elders. Giving life imprisonment is also like living in hell," Sage stated.


    Katelyn agreed with him and returned to the chair. She lowered herself on it and tasted the chocte cookies. "Mm, it’s delicious." She lifted her head and said, "You should also try one."


    She picked another to give it to Sage when he leaned down and took a small bite from the one she ate. Katelyn had tilted her head and looked at him from such a close angle.


    "Yeah. Zoey has always been good in making cookies," Sage replied, standing straight before taking another chair. "By the way, Kate, I have been thinking if you’ll go on a date with me tonight."


    "Where will you take me?" Katelyn asked with amusement.


    "Umm... Somewhere," Sage gave her a vague answer.


    "Okay," Katelyn agreed. "But I don’t have a good dress to wear," she murmured.


    "You look good in any type of dress," Sage pointed.


    "Don’t lie," Katelyn muttered with a smile. "I wonder how’s Amelie doing these days. She’s in the ce where only witches and sorceres live," she suddenly brought another topic to converse.


    "Carlos, right? That was the name of that long white-haired guy," Sage said as he recalled that figure.


    "Yes. His grandmother is sick. I hope she gets well soon. She did a lot for us, especially for Brother Gabriel."


    "Just call Amelie and ask about Carlos’ grandmother," Sage pointed.


    "I did. But she didn’t answer any of my calls. As for Brother Gabriel I am hesitant," she said.


    "Let me call him for you," Sage pulled out the phone from the pocket of his pants and scrolled to Gabriel’s contact.


    "No, leave it. When Amelie will see my missed calls, she will definitely call me." Katelyn stopped him from dialing Gabriel’s number before began eating the cookies on the te.
