Chapter 161: THE RITUAL
Elijah almost lost his faith on the alpha and he started to think that Khaos didn’t trust them and was not fully thinking of them as part of his plan, his future dynasty, the future of the lycan’s kingdom, that’s why Khaos’s request to do the ritual caught him off guard.
"What about tomorrow?" Elijah tasted the water. He wanted to see if the alpha would refuse to have the ritual in such short amount of time, but to his surprise, he agreed.
"Tomorrow then." Khaos nodded and then left the magic user. He knew that Rhett and Elijah had been anxious with his attachment to Zuri, thinking he wouldn’t have a heart to see it until the end.
Their faith on Khaos started wavering and the alpha pulled them back, playing them in his palms. He didn’t let them close enough to him to entrust them with top secret, but he kept them at arm length, so he still could use them when he needed their strength.
"What are you going to do with the food supply?" Dacre asked, he called Khaos over to walk with him, as they strolled to the town. A few royal warriors followed behind them, keeping people away. They could only stare at two powerful men from afar and bowed down when they walked before them.
"I am going to check the black market, the ice has melt significantly, a boat must be able to go through it." Khaos lied smoothly, it came so natural as if he was breathing.
"What if you couldn’t find anything there?" Dacre asked again. They didn’t talk about the dispute they had earlier, or even the fact that both of them knew Poor Silas was only a scapegoat because the main plan was failed. There was a tacit understanding between them regarding this matter.
Sometime, people tended to play ignorance to not rattle the boat.
"Hm. Good. But, I heard Great Lunar kingdom has their hand on all the merchants."
