Chapter 847: PURE FACTION MOVEMENT
"I will not make thing difficult for you, Iris," Lou spoke after they found a quiet place, where the shifters and the knights wouldn’t be able to hear their conversation.
Iris was a little bit uneasy, because Lou was not usually very serious like this. He was always smiling and calling her name as if he was singing, but right now, you could see how much he was holding back his emotions.
"What is it, Lou?" Iris narrowed her eyes. She didn’t have any idea what kind of thing this merchant would talk with her and started to think whether or not she said her piece first, lest the topic Lou brought was too heavy and she couldn’t confirm her suspicion about the birthmark.
However, Lou didn’t stay quiet for long before he said it, crystal clear.
"Did Kellan do something horrendous to you when you were little?" Lou asked, his eyes penetrated hers, as if he could read her mind, which made Iris staggered back.
Iris had been dreading this since this morning and her anxiety didn’t get better as the time went by, but now Lou brought this exact topic to her face.
On the other hand, the merchant didn’t want to have this conversation in the beginning. He was having his own struggle before he decided he couldn’t not to ask Iris to confirm his assumption.
Cane didn’t say it outright, but the way he talked to Cezi, that was the direction Lou was thinking and even if Cane made up a story about it, it didn’t make sense, since it would hurt Iris, but even more, Lou didn’t wish for that to be true either.
However, Iris’s reaction confirmed that and the merchant couldn’t contain his anger.
"So, is that true?" Lou growled. He didn’t mean to be harsh on her, but his anger burst out, flooding in his veins without him being able to control it.
That fucking bastard!
