In the shadows, listening intently to Siamon’s report, Kaisun trembled with rage, yelling with agony. Fury was raw and scorching in his veins, burned through him wildly, clawing at his sanity as this one was inexplicable.
He was walking among the shadows, slowly. He didn’t rush, tons of thoughts were swirling in his mind. If it was a normal situation, he would have killed the King instantly after knowing he had been playing with him for about seventy years. The freak hadn’t aged the slightest since he was twenty-five, he should have known something was wrong, and it was not just his bond with Sunkiath that slowed his aging.
He took in the extravagant chamber, gold-framed velvet, a bed made of rare wood carved with gold layers, and luxurious decadence, and his jaw tightened with revulsion. The boy he once nurtured and conducted had fallen into corruption’s embrace. Something wicked had poisoned Benkin’s heart, twisting innocence into malevolence. Kai was once attracted to his charm and purity but now all he saw was a nasty hobby. He was infertile but made the woman drink that potion. Still brutally clever!
After leaving him to fight the war in Thegara, something occurred to this man. He had done something far worse than depravity, something unforgiving that cost him his sanity, his pure heart that once attracted him now was stunk.
"Is this the King’s bedchamber or a brothel?"
Kai nagged as he walked out of the dark shadow, his face etched with something dark and unreadable, making the King frown.
"Should you not knock before entering?"
King Benkin saw the red streaks in those glowing golden eyes, and that mocking chuckle in his response, why was he here like this? He looked different, darker than the previous meeting.
"You didn’t hurt her, did you?" His voice shivered. King Benkin stared at the bold figure, his bravado faltering at the sinister form before him. Something was wrong with the perverse.
