Chapter 79: To bear the responsibility
Norman didn’t want Magnus to go against the wish of the King since it could affect the Wilson Family first then the prince himself. So, he decided to intervene this time to end this fight in an amicable way.
"Eugene, let’s find the middle way. Fighting in the middle of the night isn’t a good way," said Norman in his humble tone.
"This can end if you hand over Venus to me," Eugene said, glaring into the eyes of Magnus.
"Try taking her out of this house," Magnus challenged him. He promised Alora that he would not let Venus get harmed and for that, he could go to any lengths, even against his own father.
"Your Highness, please calm down," Norman said as he went to Magnus. "The King may punish my family for going against his command. Please understand," he asserted and then, he looked at Eugene.
"Your betrayal cannot be forgotten. Still, we have been humbled. You can’t take Venus away on the pretext that she belonged to your clan. I’ve been told how you are ready to take your mistress home, who is supposedly your mate. Every fact will be presented before the King and then, the decision will be made tomorrow," Norman proclaimed, showing him that the humans still held the authority.
Izaak wanted to end this in a friendly manner too. "Eugene, I stand with Mr. Wilson’s words. You need to go back. Tomorrow, let’s meet the King for the final decision. The vampires and the werewolves do not wish to get into a battle because of some humans. You know well who will be victorious in this battle," Izaak stated, trying to soothe the heated situation.
Eugene contemplated for a moment and agreed to Norman. "Prince Magnus, I will make sure to take Venus with me. I would like to see how Princess Alora stops me. I will make sure her eyes are taken off before that," he said with a smirk in a low voice and walked past him. He ordered his wolves to leave and they left the Wilson’s Residence.
Magnus seethed with anger towards his father’s actions. As he prepared to depart, Norman implored him to keep Alora out of the conflict. "I cannot tolerate any harm to my family, Your Highness. I pray that tomorrow she does not appear in the King’s court," Norman expressed, placing blame on Alora instead of Venus.
