Chapter 264: PART OF CANE’S RESPONSIBILITY
It was Alan’s fault that Cane reacted so drastically. If only he didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t have said those things out loud, reminded all of them about how King Aeon succeeded the throne, even though he was born to a mistress, the same as Alan.
The current crown prince was also born to a mistress and this didn’t project the King and his favorite son in good light, who he stubbornly appointed as the Crown Prince, as it gave a feeling that King Aeon reflected himself so much in Alan.
As of now, the King was fuming mad upon the Crown Prince’s slip and how clueless he was about his own predicament.
How could he be so stupid not to see that Cane provoked him intentionally? That the Alpha knew how to hit and say the right things to aggravate him further, while keeping his own reaction and response justified? They couldn’t completely blame Cane for that, nor what he said was a lie, because as disturbing as it sounded for some people, that was the truth.
"You...!" Alan shrieked, he wanted to rip Cane into pieces, but then he realized he didn’t dare to fight this battle- hardened alpha. He lost to his gamma, there was no one who could guarantee he could come out alive if he fought the Alpha.
"ENOUGH!" King Aeon slammed his hand against his arm rest and stood up. His figure towered above everyone else, as his face turned so red. He was furious beyond words.
He was angry at Cane for bringing up that fact to light in front of his subjects, but he was even more mad at Alan for provoking the Alpha, even though he had warned him to shut his mouth and think thrice before he evoked Cane’s wrath.
The fact that the King couldn’t even punish Cane for what he said and let him act crudely because he had to be cautious against the Alpha for the matters of the Asturi stem and the north, made the King feel stifled with anger.
He wanted to slap his idiotic son to death! Probably there was something wrong with his brain, which caused him to be so stupid!
