Chapter 231: I WANT THAT WOMAN
Caiden glanced at Khaos and then Zuri, who was sitting next to him.
"Yeah, I killed him. I figured he is not one of the royal guards." Caiden then pointed his finger at the man’s boats. "See? There is mud there. He is not from around the palace."
Yes, Caiden took the blame for the death of the young guard, because Khaos told him to do so. He didn’t want the attention fell on his mate.
Meanwhile, the two of them had not yet talked about why Zuri sneaked out of the bedroom in the middle of the night. They had no time to discuss that with the dead body before their eyes.
"There is a silver dagger in his pocket," one of the warriors, who checked on the dead body reported. He took the dagger from the pocket and then handed it to king Eyren.
"The rebels," Lorent said, once he saw the crest on the dagger. He glanced at the young rebel’s dead body and scrunched his brows. "He is the rebel. You need to tighten the security around the palace. One of them managed to sneak into the palace, it meant, there will be more, who can do that too in the future."
Currently, they were standing in the same hallway, where Zuri had murdered the young rebel. When it happened, Caiden caught her and he immediately called for Khaos to come over, while Zuri cleaned herself up.
That was why, no one suspected her for the crime.
However, Lorent looked at Zuri in a way that she was sure that he knew she was the one, who had killed the young guard. He knew that she was the Shell, what else he couldn’t guess? Eyren was simply too full of himself to see the obvious.
