Chapter 325: Puppet (3)
"Do you want to start another bet that he is going to kill someone? I thought there would have been a full-on fight between the guards and us when he grabbed Joel’s neck," Logan said, following behind Rafael as he pulled an unconscious Joel by his left foot.
He didn’t like Joel to lift him instead of having him taste whatever was on the ground.
"I’m a little disappointed that he didn’t kill him," Christian replied. He got excited when he saw Rafael grab Joel’s throat for nothing.
"Well if you think about it, if we kill any of the guards for simply saying something we don’t like, the court is going to be on our ass. They are already looking for a reason to complain to the king about Rafael. I’m glad he calmed down and didn’t kill Joel," Logan said, concerned about the future for Rafael. "They are going to claim he’s a traitor for being with Annalise. Thinking he was working with the enemy and that is why he finally came here."
"What if they request the king strip him of being commander?" Logan asked, turning to Christian.
"It is not like Rafael purposely led anyone to die. A few of the guards dying or getting injured was their fault. He’s pushing for peace, something the kingdom needs since the war has been going on too long. If they strip him of his title, it’s just up to us to decide if we stay as knights or follow Rafael," Christian answered.
Christian was not going to follow anyone other than Rafael especially when Rafael had not done something wrong. So what if he was in a relationship with Annalise? It wasn’t like he knew from the beginning and was conspiring with her to kill the king.
The only issue he had with Rafael’s relationship with Annalise was the mere fact the woman was crazy.
"The king sent us to find a way for this war to end and without having to lift a finger to fight, Rafael is getting that peace. Anyone who has something against that is just a fool. Still, if they request the king to toss Rafael to the side, I want to see how they’ll beg when they need us," Christian said, looking forward to it.
