The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264: PART OF CANE’S RESPONSIBILITY

It was Alan’s fault that Cane reacted so drastically. If only he didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t have said those things out loud, reminded all of them about how King Aeon succeeded the throne, even though he was born to a mistress, the same as Alan.

The current crown prince was also born to a mistress and this didn’t project the King and his favorite son in good light, who he stubbornly appointed as the Crown Prince, as it gave a feeling that King Aeon reflected himself so much in Alan.

As of now, the King was fuming mad upon the Crown Prince’s slip and how clueless he was about his own predicament.

How could he be so stupid not to see that Cane provoked him intentionally? That the Alpha knew how to hit and say the right things to aggravate him further, while keeping his own reaction and response justified? They couldn’t completely blame Cane for that, nor what he said was a lie, because as disturbing as it sounded for some people, that was the truth.

"You...!" Alan shrieked, he wanted to rip Cane into pieces, but then he realized he didn’t dare to fight this battle- hardened alpha. He lost to his gamma, there was no one who could guarantee he could come out alive if he fought the Alpha.

"ENOUGH!" King Aeon slammed his hand against his arm rest and stood up. His figure towered above everyone else, as his face turned so red. He was furious beyond words.

He was angry at Cane for bringing up that fact to light in front of his subjects, but he was even more mad at Alan for provoking the Alpha, even though he had warned him to shut his mouth and think thrice before he evoked Cane’s wrath.

The fact that the King couldn’t even punish Cane for what he said and let him act crudely because he had to be cautious against the Alpha for the matters of the Asturi stem and the north, made the King feel stifled with anger.

He wanted to slap his idiotic son to death! Probably there was something wrong with his brain, which caused him to be so stupid!

When Aeon was around Alan’s age, he managed to secure the throne for himself, scheming against all the candidates for the throne and came out as a victor, but Alan right now was not even able to have a face off with an alpha?! It was ridiculous!

Forget about concocting a plan to gain some benefits for himself, Alan kept digging his own grave deeper instead!

Aeon had received endless complaints about how unfit Alan was as the Crown Prince, but he managed to shut them up, and right now, the complaints would start again and it would only add to the pile of troubles that had yet to be resolved.

"You went too far, Crown Prince!" King Aeon reprimanded him harshly. The fact he had to appease Cane’s anger got on his nerves, but at the same time, he didn’t want to back down and give the impression that Cane could do whatever he wanted.

Especially when the Alpha had kept bringing up the topics that exasperated him, such as the black magic and his bloodline, ever since he arrived in the capital city.
