Chapter 507: THE NIGHT OF THE FUNERAL
Iris would feel really uncomfortable if they had to kill Chrystal for something that she couldn’t control. She did not make any grave mistakes, it was just that the timing was not right.
"Cane..." Iris tried. "Let me talk to her, okay?" She cupped his face and stared into his eyes.
"Iris, you know the answer already. I hate to break your heart, but this is not something negotiable." Cane kissed her palm to appease her, but he could still feel how tense she was with his decision. "You don’t need to be there. Just forget about this matter, I will take care of it."
Iris knew what exactly Cane meant when he said he would take care of it. It didn’t make her feel better at all.
"Iris." Cane caressed her cheeks and stared into her eyes. He had warned her before that things like this would happen. If it had been in the past, he would have been assertive with her. But, it was different now and Cane found himself softening at the sight of her. He felt horrible for disappointing his mate. "We can’t take the risk, especially with the situation we are in. The risk is too big to let her live."
Iris bit her lip, she couldn’t say she didn’t understand what they had at stake here, but at the same time, she couldn’t completely agree with his decision.
Now, she truly realized her situation. This wouldn’t be the last time she would be in this position. There would be many cases in the future like this and it was common sense in this sick world to silence anyone that they couldn’t trust when they knew so much.
There was no common ground for this matter, but knowing this was something that needed to be done, they left this matter at that.
"Tell me what happened to you when we were in the Goffa mountain. How come you can finally hear?" Cane tried to change the topic, since the previous one had been settled and he wouldn’t change his decision on that.
"Oh... I think I know the story of Lu and the first Serafim..."
And with that, Iris told Cane everything she had seen when she lost consciousness and how she concluded that whatever dark magic Lady Cyan had resorted to had triggered something inside her. Not only her, but the lycan within Cane as well.
