Page 79 of His Lost Lycan Luna

“Yes, only the version I know is slightly different,” he tells me, watching me. His gaze makes me uncomfortable, scrutinizing almost.

“What version do you know?” I ask curiously. I don’t even know where I heard it.

“It’s the same, but has an extra verse the Kingdom people added on to the end. Hang on.” The King looks around and calls out to one of his guards.

“Trey!” he calls out, and a man wanders over. He is wearing all black, and the Valkyrie Kingdom emblem is emblazoned on his chest, showing he is one of the king’s guards but not as high up as Damian or Gannon. I’ve seen it on the other guards, like the guard that the King usually has following me around while in the castle.

The man looks me over curiously. “Yes, my King?”

“Do you remember the Landeena Anthem? The part added on to Tatiana’s wedding song?”

“Of course, as if I could forget,” he says before swallowing, and looking away.

“Well?” Kyson asks him, and Trey’s brows furrow.

“Why?”

“I was telling Ivy about how the anthem came about.”

Trey clenches his jaw and nods once. However, he doesn’t sing it, he recites it like a poem, yet as he does, he looks on the verge of becoming emotional. Yet when he gets past the part, I know the song changes significantly from what I know.

“So sing this anthem, a testament bold,

Of love and loss and courage untold.

In the anguish, we'll find our grace,

A warrior's spirit, as fears we face.

From the ashes, we rise, our voices clear,

A warrior's heart conquers all fear.

Our voices echo far and wide.

A spirit unbroken, we'll never hide.

In the midst of pain, we find our might,

To stand our ground and embrace the fight.

Fueled by anger, a force untamed,

A burning ember, a heart inflamed.”

“Is that all, my King?” Trey asks, and Kyson nods once, and he quickly wanders off.

“He seemed upset,” I tell Kyson.

"Yes, it was Queen Tatiana and King Garrett's wedding song. It then became the castle anthem, which was the song the Queen sang at their wedding. Trey came from the Landeena Kingdom," he tells me, and my brows furrow.

“Doesn’t sound like a wedding song,” I tell him.

“Because it was an arranged marriage, she didn’t want to marry him. But the kingdom’s people thought it was an anthem. Somehow it turned into the Landeena anthem.”

“So they hated each other?”

“Maybe at the start, but I don’t think so, kinda like my mother and father. Arranged marriages are common among royals to strengthen alliances. They stayed together and had a baby, so she couldn’t have hated him that much in the end,” Kyson shrugs.
