Chapter 223: Disobedience to the king
As soon as Nathan firmly declared his intentions, he immediately telepathically instructed Decan to meet with him in their private quarters as soon as the meeting was over. Once that was done, he then gave one last nod to the peanut gallery, quickly leaving as soon as he turned his back to them.
Seeing their King move, Aspen and Boris quickly followed behind him, Davin not too far behind as they left the scene. Trailing Nathan, Aspen could only sigh at the hasty retreat. It truly seemed like the king made a last-minute decision instead of thinking things through.
Soon, the four of them finally arrived at the secret room. Turning to Davin, Nathan commanded, "Tell me everything you found out."
Hearing the order, Davin comfortably sat on the chair beside Nathan and reported, "Ava apparently fell in love with one of the princes of the Sun Clan at that time. Lark Tai, in particular. The two then eloped since both clans didn’t approve of their relationship," he shrugged.
"Time passed, and Ava became pregnant with twins while they lived from one secluded place to the other. They were always on the run from those who were pursuing them. And predictably, one of them was Marcus." Davin scoffed, "It was even said that the man was so hell-bent on finding Ava even in the deepest pit of hell. And sure enough, he did find her on that one indigenous and isolated island."
When silence followed, Nathan frowned. The King was waiting for more details. Like how did Ava die? Why did the twins get separated in the first place? Or how did Raine even end up with Marcus?
Sensing that his uncle was waiting for an answer, Davin shrugged. "That’s all I’ve got. The rest of the story is known by none other than Marcus, Ava, and Lark. Of course, the latter two were dead, so the rest of the story will go exactly as Marcus says it will go." He raised an eyebrow as he continued, "As for me, I’m still searching for a ’clairvoyant’ that could help uncover what really transpired in the past. That’s gonna be the only way for you to find out what really happened. We need someone who has a gift in clairvoyance, someone who could see into the past once they touch either Raine or her twin..."
At the end of the report, Nathan could only let out a sigh as he looked at Davin and murmured, "Thank you for this, Davin. Let’s try and find out more later. I feel like there will be a need for Raine to find out the truth in the coming days..."
Davin shook his head and pointed out, "You’re just doing this so you can somehow see if Marcus did something bad in the past, all so that you can show it to Raine and hope that it would make it turn her back on him." The vampire rolled her eyes in amusement. "Anyway, I can understand where you’re coming from, so I’ll help you out. I’ll try to find out more about this story thread so that your mate can stop adoring her father to the point of hating you once she finds out how you’re planning to kill the man. Right now. Behind her back, even. Just so you can keep her."
