Chapter 436: UNDERSTANDING IS NOT ENOUGH
"Haco, you know people from the Holy Kingdom will arrive half a month from now, right?" Iris stared at the sorcerer. Maybe this was because of all the things that happened in the past few weeks, which tired the sorcerer, but he looked like he had lost a few years of life, he looked so old and a little fragile. "They will kill us both if the word reaches their ears. More so, how can you explain the current Serafim’s existence?"
"I don’t know, Iris, I really don’t. I feel like I got all the clues needed, but no answer," Haco said in frustration. He knew very well what the punishment was for someone who pretended to be a Serafim and he didn’t wish something like that to happen to Iris at all, but then all the signs were there, Iris also half believed him, though the whole thing still sounded so absurd. "I wish I could pry some information from the lycan, since he is here and knows more about what happened in the Holy Kingdom and the Serafim, but he refuses to say more."
This was another similarity between Cane and Lu, it was hard to get anything out of their mouths, as they kept everything to themselves.
"Why don’t we check your back? If the symbol of the Serafim was there, it would answer some of the questions." But then Haco added hastily as Iris kept staring at him. "No! It’s not me! I am not suggesting it’s me, who will see your back! Gosh, that lycan will kill me for sure if I ever thought about that!"
"I know." Iris frowned to see Haco overreacting. "I didn’t say anything about you looking at my back... I will ask someone to check," she said in a low voice.
Iris felt uncomfortable to show her back due to the horrendous scars. She didn’t want them to pity her and she would be hurt if they were so shocked to see them.
But if this was something they needed to do, so be it.
Silence befell on them for a moment. They were still inside the Alpha’s bedroom, while Iris was sitting on the edge of the bed. Haco got comfortable in the single sofa, which looked so big for his skinny figure. His cheekbones protruded and there were more wrinkles on his face.
"Iris, are you okay?" Haco suddenly asked this mundane question, but Iris knew what he meant.
"Yes, I am fine." Iris nodded.
"Good." Haco nodded. "Maybe you already know this, but I only want to say it as a reminder for you."
