| ← Ch.0762 | Ch.0764 → |
"Who did this?" Jedrek squinted his eyes at Warlock's motionless body. His sixth in command was died. Someone had killed him and the fact that Theo's life was still in danger now, didn't make Jedrek felt any better.
The king's dark eyes found Kyle and Rowan, who were standing on the side, grief was palpable on their faces. After all, they had known each other for a long period of time. Or, perhaps that was what they wanted to show to their king.
"The shadow warrior, " Rowan answered his Alpha.
"Shadow warrior?" Jedrek's voice turned even gloomier."They are dead, " he said grimly.
"No, your majesty, " Rowan replied, shaking his head in denial."We saw him." And then he nodded his head to Serefina."She saw him."
Serefina gave Rowan a deathly stare, but she didn't say anything.
"No." Serefina denied."When I came, I saw Rowan was dead and Theo was badly injured, " she said truthfully, yet her eyes never left Rowan and Kyle."I just saw the two of them there. Why were you two in the old tower?"
Jedrek shifted his attention to Kyle and Rowan.
"Lord Eaton told us to leave the town. He and Sebastian will handle the things there, " Kyle answered him.
"You told Rowan and Theo about that?" Serefina asked, her facial expression didn't let them know what was inside her mind.
Rowan glanced at Kyle before he replied."Yes, they asked."
Jedrek looked at Serefina and then asked the healer."How is he now?"
"If he can make it this night, I think he will be fine tomorrow, " the healer said. The wounds had closed, but Theo lost a lot of blood."We should thank Serefina for being there in time and helped him."
"Right." Jedrek nodded."I will walk you back to your room, " he said while gesturing for Serefina to walk ahead.
Serefina was about to reject him and say she could walk back to her room alone, but there was something in the way Jedrek looked at her that made the witch didn't say anything and walked toward the door.
"I expect you two in my study room, " Jedrek spoke to Kyle and Rowan before he followed Serefina out of the room.
"Yes, your majesty, " Both of them answered him at the same time.

Lilac watched in horror when she saw the four dead guards at her door. However, it didn't take a long time before another guards appeared from the other end of the corridor. They must be guards on duty to patrol this tower.
Perhaps, they felt something wrong with their fellow guards, therefore they came to check on them.
Once the three guards' eyes landed on the dead body on the floor, they hurried over and asked Lilac.
"My lady, are you all right?!" One of them tried to find any injuries on Lilac by staring at her, since they wouldn't be so bold to touch her.
Lilac shook her head to gain her bearing again, she looked at the guard, who asked her while the other two checked on the dead body of the guards, "I am all right." Though her voice was slightly trembling, but she looked fine."What caused their death?"
"Their hearts were being crushed, " one of the guards answered her solemnly, while the other guard grimaced."I will call someone to come and..."
Lilac didn't hear the rest of what that guard said when he asked."Where is the king?"
"The king is in the old tower, " he answered.
"What is he doing there?" Lilac asked again and watched the raindrops began to fall from the dark night sky.
"Apologize, but I don't know exactly." He paused and then added."I heard general Theo and Warlock were injured and the king went there to see them."
"Oh, okay." If that was the case, it should be fine if Lilac went to see him, right? "I will go to the old tower."
"But, my lady..." The guard tried to stop her."I think you should stay inside your room, I will call more people to guard here."
"No, " Lilac rejected his idea."If whoever killed them could get away without being noticed, no matter how many people you put there, it wouldn't stop them." she pointed out the obvious.
"But..." the guard tried to reason with Lilac, but she cut him short.
"I will find the king, " she said and walked away toward the old tower.

Serefina watched the gloomy sky and frowned. She never liked the weather in this region; too much rain and gloomy sky. It just intensified the anxiousness in this castle.
However, she was not surprised when Jedrek suddenly grabbed her hand and pushed her into a room beside him and then closed the door behind them.
Serefina's back was against the wall, while in front of her, there was another wall that currently was glaring at her.
"You shouldn't trust the two general of yours, " Serefina started, she knew exactly why Jedrek trapped both of them inside this empty room. Knowing him for so long, the witch could foresee their conversation now.
"Do you think they have something to do with this?" Jedrek asked, he stared at the woman before his eyes intensely. If it was someone else, they would have averted their eyes from him.
However, Serefina wouldn't do that. She looked at him right in his eyes.
"I think they killed Warlock and Theo, " Serefina went to the extreme assumption, though that was not completely wrong."Unfortunately, I came before they could finish him off."
Of course Jedrek didn't trust them too, but the king didn't say anything. He crossed his arms, his focus was on her. He missed the way Serefina's bold statement."Why do you think that way?"
"I asked them if they spoke to Theo and Warlock before they were attacked, and Rowan replied that they had spoken to them, but when I arrived they both didn't look like someone who had just fought a shadow warrior."
