Chapter 323: DEPARTURE
The kiss on her hand made Iris blush, as she nodded absentmindedly. It was either because of the way he kissed her hand, or how happy she was to have breakfast with him tomorrow. She was already looking forward to it.
After their brief conversation inside the carriage, Cane had to return to attend another meeting before he met with Koda.
It was already late at night and they met at the East gate. This was the exit that Cane usually used to get out of the palace through a secret door, since the guards there were his father’s people in the past.
Koda was wearing a thick black cloak and hoodie, which covered his entire face and hid his identity, but of course, Cane knew it was him. Disguising his appearance didn’t help hide his scent.
"When will it happen?" Koda cut straight to the main topic once he saw Cane approaching him. He didn’t waste his time and his voice was filled with tension.
"This is a delicate plan, you can’t be careless." Cane didn’t even bother to hide himself, though he was on the King’s turf. He knew his men and he knew what he needed to do.
"I need to make sure that the bastard crown prince will pay for what he has done and my great grandson will be crowned as the next king," Koda hissed. He looked around, just in case someone was listening.
It was unclear what Cane said to him when he handed Princess Osana’s ring to him, but Koda was under the impression the Crown Prince was part of the reason why Prince Vemion had been taken away by the lycan. He was sure his grandson had died by now and he wanted his great grandson to be the next crown prince, though nobody knew what gender the baby that Laluna carrying would assume.
Vemion wouldn’t have a chance, but his great grandchild would have the whole Red Claw pack as his support and with the facts that would unfold later, they could use it as a leverage to press down the King.
