Lou didn’t care what the meaning of the birthmark behind Cedric’s back, he couldn’t care less about that as long as he could get Iris for himself. He was well aware with the fact there would be five protectors around Iris, but it didn’t change anything.
In his twisted mind, there was no need to have more protector. It wouldn’t make any different.
"Let’s kill him." Lou lit up fire on his fingers, was ready to struck the unconscious Cedric with it. "Getting rid of him will lessen our trouble too." They didn’t need to deal with the complicated situation with the Holy Kingdom in the future.
Therefore, it was a win win solution.
"Sure, do it." Cane glanced at Lou, who looked slightly taken aback because he agreed readily and instead of doing it immediately, the merchant became suspicious. He put off the fire and faced the alpha.
"What are you going to say if he died."
"You killed him." There was nothing, but honesty there.
"Iris will kill me, if you told her that!" Lou knew this alpha was up to no good!
"That’s the goal."
Lou was speechless. If he could, he would kill this annoying man right there and then, it was a pity that he lacked of that skill.
"Did Iris know about this?" Lou swallowed back all of his grievances, while the alpha kept staring at the mark on Cedric’s back.
"Not yet." Cane pulled down his clothes and then walked away. He came here to confirm this.
"Don’t tell her! Don’t you dare to tell her! Don’t ever tell her!" Lou shouted before Cane closed the door behind him.
Lou really didn’t want Iris to have this knight as her protector, knowing her, she would find away to keep this imbecile of man by her side. The merchant still remembered how Cedric defended Abby and caused trouble as much as that weak Serafim for Iris.
Not to mention it would complicate thing with the Holy Kingdom, after all, as per Cane’s guess, the person who killed Cedric was Rei and this man was as ancient as the Holy Kingdom itself. He was a powerful black magic user.
"Are you sure?" Iris asked Cane when the alpha told her about it once he returned to their bedroom.
Iris was woken up because she noticed the empty bed and instead of Cane, it was Aliana, who stayed with her. She didn’t know where the alpha had gone, but thankfully, Cane returned not long after.
"I just confirmed that." Of course, the first thing Cane did after learning about the birthmark was to tell his mate. "I think that’s the reason why you felt different about him."
Iris contemplated about that for a while. "That makes sense..."
Cane pulled her body toward him and hugged her. "This is already late at night, let’s sleep. We will think about it tomorrow."
Iris wanted to keep the conversation, but then she realized that she was tired. After using a lot of energy to preserve Cedric’s life, she exhausted herself.
She didn’t want to force herself, especially at this time, thus she dropped the topic too.
"Is there something you want to eat?" Cane asked, he played with her hair, while his mate snuggled against him.
