Chapter 40: ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL THE KING?!
If it was any other day, Darius would laugh to see how Aurel got humbled very quickly, but not in this situation. They were too tense to know the king’s condition.
Zenith could replace him for a week or two, or even more than that, but obviously, he couldn’t play the role for the rest of his life if something really happened to his brother.
More so, the death of the king would push the kingdom into utter chaos, it would jeopardize a lot of things.
But even more, Zenith wouldn’t be able to leave unscathed.
People who wanted to take him down would attribute the king’s death with the fact Zenith was there. It would implicate him in the long run.
There was a reason why Zander and Zenith created an image that the two of them didn’t get along well with each other, when in truth, behind the shadows, the twins often worked together and this was not the first time for Zenith to take the role as the king when Zander had to leave the palace incognito.
"Is that a threat?" Aurel gritted her teeth.
"That’s a reminder." Dawn pushed Aurel out of her way and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Can you be quiet? You have talked too much already, don’t you think?"
Dawn couldn’t understand the blind hatred that Aurel harbored toward her. Yes, she did know that this healer had a crush on Zenith or something, but did she think by hating her, Zenith would like her instead?
Lance took the initiative to get to Aurel’s side and talk in a low voice to her, he looked stern when he handled this healer.
It took Dawn a while when she checked on Zander. Her brows furrowed and she tried to remember the lesson that she learned from the healer in her pack. It was not easy since she was not born as a healer, there was this healing power that only someone born as a healer could use.
