Chapter 467: The Confined Princess
As Eric listened to Rafe’s explanation while seated at the table, his expression turned sombre.
"So, where is your wife now?" he asked.
"Not sure. After the altercation, I told her to go away. She probably went back to Lady Raychard’s chamber and is still waiting outside. I had Sir McQuinn and Sir Parker go there to look out for our lady and her as well," Rafe responded solemnly.
His body slumped as he propped his chin on his slender hand, seemingly frustrated with his wife.
Eric blinked, sifting through the healer’s dreary demeanour.
The second-in-command knight then urged, "Go get your wife, Rafe. Don’t let her be alone. She needs you."
Rafe’s downcast grey irises lifted toward Eric.
"You know I’m still mad at her, don’t you?" he said.
"I know. But as you said, the promise sealed with magic was His Highness Prince Kiev’s doing. He intentionally did that to protect something... Something he even refuses to share with us, not even with you, whom he considered family."
"He’s a liar!" Rafe sneered. "If he had considered me family, he would’ve come clean to me from the start! I thought I could trust him, but he turned out to be scheming against me all this time!"
"Then what about you? You and Armel colluded secretly and reported the Mederian siblings to His Majesty! Seems like you, too, used your connections to him and your wife for your advantage to gather information on them!" Eric shot back sharply.
