Chapter 256: DAMN YOU, CANE! (2)
"Damn you, Cane!" Lou bristled when he heard that. He got off the bed immediately, his expression unusually dark, as he stormed toward the garden, where Cane had been waiting for him. However, his expression changed in a split second before he met with the Alpha as he greeted him politely and remorsefully for making him wait. The hypocrisy was so thick coming from him.
"I am sorry for making you wait this long," Lou said cheerfully, in his usual self. "You seem to be in a hurry, though you just arrived five minutes ago."
He spoke about it so lightly, as if he didn’t have the intention to make him wait for hours if he could.
However, Cane could see through his façade and replied to him simply. "The situation inside the palace is still not stable and the people in the capital are still panicking, grieving and afraid. There are a lot of things to take care of."
Annoyance flitted past Lou’s eyes, but it vanished before Cane noticed it. What the Alpha said painted the merchant as someone that was too idle and willing to be ignorant in this chaotic situation, since he had a lot of free time.
Damn! Lou was also there, in the morning court, with the King, alright! It was not only Cane who was busy!
"Yes, it is a difficult situation," Lou said lightly, still sounding cheerful, as if he didn’t get bothered with Cane’s jab. "Serve tea!" He said to the servant.
However, Cane raised his hand to reject that. "Let’s skip tea and get down to business, what do you want?" He didn’t have all day to accompany Lou. He barely wanted to spend another second here.
