Alan still couldn’t understand the gravity of the situation or come to terms with the fact he was almost killed by his own mother, since this had happened countless times, but Lady Cyan would never go through until the end.
"You don’t want to help me get my status back, but I figured out a way to retaliate and clear my name! You should be proud of me!" Alan roared. He had been trying to earn his mother’s recognition for a long time. He wanted to hear her praise him and look at him a little bit warmly, but all he got was a disdainful look in her eyes. "You told me to get close to that bastard merchant! I did exactly what you said!"
"What in the world made you think you got close to him?" Dexter narrowed his eyes. He could understand the frustration of his sister to have this kind of child.
"He gave me some advice."
"What kind of advice?" Lady Cyan opened her eyes and glared at Alan. "How can he give you any advice?"
Alan was stunned. He was not sure whether it was alright to tell his mother about it, but he couldn’t back away when his mother and this sorcerer had finally put some interest in what he was going to say.
Therefore, Alan blurted out what actually happened a few nights ago.
"Appeared inside your room without anyone noticing him?" Dexter tried to confirm what Alan just said. "No one could appear and disappear from this room without the guards noticing him."
"I swear! I swear he just appeared!"
"And why didn’t you ask him how he can do that?"
Alan was silent and both of them knew why. It didn’t cross his mind at all to ask the merchant, because he was too excited by the advice he gave to him and it didn’t take a genius to guess what kind of advice Lou had given to this moron.
"He gave me good advice! Now we are on better terms with each other! I have done what you wanted me to do and taken care of myself when you and father refused to help! I am innocent! I don’t know anything and have nothing to do with black magic! You should be proud of me!"
Lady Cyan was so enraged, until she couldn’t utter a single word and her silence was so deafening.
"We need to talk about our next move," Lady Cyan said to her brother, as she walked out of the room. She was not willing to spend another second in the presence of her son. "We need to let father know about this."
Without them knowing it, the Alpha of the Howling Wolf pack had gotten a hold of the southern part of the kingdom. She thought he was only a nuisance, but as it turned out, he became a threat now, while that lecherous king still wouldn’t lift his face from between Nala’s legs.
"He will not be happy to hear this," Dexter commented. His eyes dimmed slightly, as he thought about that woman. He had spent months with her and knew her a little bit better...
