Eaton glanced at Lilac, who was still fast asleep, but the furrow on her brows told him that she was not in her beautiful dream.
"No, don't kill the guardian angel, " Eaton said it calmly, though Jedrek didn't say anything about what the mind reader would do once he found the guardian angel, but if Jedrek insisted to keep his mate alive, then he shouldn't have any objection to keep the other guardian angel alive too."Just find out where she is and return."
The mind reader nodded his head, satisfied."I do think the same." He caressed Lilac's cheek and her wrinkled eyebrows before the girl's expression became slightly relax."If only he could be a little less stubborn, then things wouldn't have gotten this complicated."
After saying that, the mind reader straightened his back and walked toward the door.
"Things will only go from bad to really bad from now on. I can feel that, " the mind reader spoke before he walked out of the room.
"Can???t you become a little bit optimistic?" Eaton frowned at the closed door and sighed tiredly.
==============
It had been a year since Tordoff was executed by Jedrek himself inside the dungeon without the right ceremony, as a traitor, he also didn't get a proper burial.
And since Maximus was given a special task to go to the other realm and Warlock went to the southern region, there would be only Lyrus around the castle because Sebastian, Kyle and Rowan were busy to patch things up in the city center and smaller cities within their territory.
The number of missing shifter had increased significantly and was still counting.
Meanwhile, Jedrek still insisted that the matter was not made public, because in any case, they had killed many shifters and no one would ever agree for them to kill their family members, even if they were told the truth.
Other shifters who had been spared have proven that they were normal to some extent, yet at certain times, they would show signs that they were about to go feral and be dangerous. They had no other choice, but to kill them.
During this one year, there were small riots here and there because of this matter, not only that, there was rumor about the royal had been killing the shifter for unknown reason. Sadly, the rumor was right in a way.
Though this problem was still under control, but there were a lot of things occurred because of these rumors in general public.
"Visiting your mother again?" Janus spoke to Jedrek in mocking tone, his eyes fixed on his firstborn, as the aura around him became more and more dark.
Jedrek acted like he didn't listen what he spoke and kept walking, yet Janus caught up to him before the Alpha could walk out of the oval secret chamber.
"You know, you can end this situation." Janus's eyes looked wilder than the last time Jedrek saw him."Just give the guardian angel to me and make the new deal with Mammon."
The former Alpha looked at his son expectantly. He was similar to someone who had lost their minds and was babbling nonsense every time they opened their mouths.
It had been ten months since the last time Jedrek gave him the sacrifice that he needed to sustain hiss fake life. Jedrek didn't really know what would happen to Janus if this condition kept going for another month, but the situation had been worse enough for Jedrek to concern about him.
If the Kingdom would go down. Jedrek would make sure, it went down for good.
After all, this Kingdom was expected to be doomed since Janus made several deals with the devil to save Diana and their predicament at that time.
"YOU CAN SAVE YOUR MOTHER AND THIS KINGDOM!" Janus roared because Jedrek didn't give the respond that he wanted and kept his eyes away from him, as if he was too disgusted by his own father.
However, when finally Jedrek decided to answer him, his voice was devoid from any emotion, yet his eyes spoke volume about how much resentment that he had for Janus.
"You have lost my respect father and I will not go down in the same path that you took. If the Kingdom has to go down and mother can't be saved, so be it. It will end the vicious cycle that you created."
This was the longest words that Jedrek spoke since a year ago, when he put Lilac in deep illusion and sent the mind reader after Kace.
"YOU ARE A BASTARD!"
Janus moved forward and threw a punch on Jedrek's face, but his fist past through him and Janus stumbled, in the other hand, Jedrek just felt a cold wind brushed his face roughly, but nothing more.
Jedrek chuckled eerily when he heard that, 'bastard' had been Lilac's favorite word to call him, every time he visited her in her little illusion world.
"You are starting to fade." Jedrek mumbled, remarked the change that Janus had, and threw him one last glance before he walked out of the room, leaving Janus went berserk there, calling for Maximus.
Unfortunately, Jedrek had sent his confidante away, to pursue the only thing that interested him the most. His younger brother.
Kace didn't disappoint him. He was still very difficult to be caught like usual. Even with the mind reader in addition, none from both could go back to him and gave Jedrek Kace's exact location, even so his mate, the guardian angel.
"Your Majesty, " Lyrus greeted Jedrek once he opened the built in sliding bookcase and emerged from the dark secret tunnel."You need to talk to me?"
Jedrek didn't say a word, but he gestured his Beta to follow him.
Once they were out of the library, Jedre turned around to face him."I want you to go to Torak's place and report to me what has happened there."
From his sources, Jedrek knew there was something happen with Torak. He had been missing for days and no one knew where he was.
