Chapter 70: Edward sobbed
Edward was escorted to his family’s gravesite in the pack. Upon reaching his father’s tombstone, he picked up a small flower nearby and placed it on the grave.
"Father, were you a bad father?" Edward asked dejectedly, sitting beside the tombstone and regretfully sobbing. He wished he hadn’t been so oblivious to the truth around him and had noticed the wrongdoings in their upbringing.
He had never harbored any ill intentions towards his brother, believing the same to be true for Cane. However, after Cane returned to the pack during their father’s illness, Edward discovered the painful reality.
"I do not resent Cane, I wish you had loved us equally," Edward continued sobbing, wiping away the tears as they fell.
"You make it difficult for me," Cane’s annoyed voice interrupted from behind Edward, causing him to frown. Cane had never visited their father’s grave since his death, and he appeared anxious and shocked to see him there now.
"Don’t be fazed. He may not have been the best father, but he brought me into this world," Cane explained, showing no compassion as he dropped a rotten flower on the gravestone.
"Why did you never confront him?" Edward asked softly.
"What does it matter? His favorite son would always be there for him. I am just a pawn he used to secure his place on the throne," Cane replied, his hands in his pockets.
"What do you mean?" Edward inquired, curious about Cane’s statement.
