"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, " Serefina said. She remembered the expression on their face when she arrived there, the two of them looked too calm for someone, who had just witnessed their fellow generals were being butchered and half- died.
Perhaps because of panic, Serefina didn't realize it at that time, but now when she thought about it again, Kyle and Rowan looked very suspicious.
And that was what the witch told the king. She told him about her suspicion and what she thought, despite the generals were Jedrek's people. She didn't hold back at all, because deep down Serefina knew, Jedrek wouldn't blame her for telling him about his general this way.
"So, did you see this shadow warrior?" Jedrek asked her. They were so close, but their proximity didn't make them felt awkward.
"I saw him inside the old tower." Serefina nodded, but she didn't elaborate further about the fact that she hid from him."This one also the fact that someone betrayed you. If everything I said is right, you can't trust Kyle and Rowan."
Jedrek didn't give any response when he heard the word of betrayal, he was used to it now.
"I have shielded this place. The shadow warrior shouldn't be able to enter easily." Serefina knitted her brows."Except..."
"Someone from inside has been helping him." Jedrek finished Serefina's sentence. He knew one or two things about the shadow warrior.
Just like how Aeon got to Raine even when Serefina had put up shield around Torak's house that caused the witch had to burn the girl mother's diary, the same thing happened here.
"You can't leave Theo alone with them, if my suspicion was right, they will come to finish him off to silence him, " Serefina was contemplating about this, the only person who could confirm it would be Theo.
The witch raised her head to find Jedrek's eyes were staring at her. It felt so natural to talk to Jedrek this way, despite the situation that they faced.
"No, he is not alone. Someone had moved him to another place, " Jedrek said solemnly. His habit to not trust anyone, including his own people, led him to take any precaution the moment he felt there was something amiss.

"Why we should do this in the middle of the night when rain is pouring down, under the gloomy sky..." Calleb didn't stop complaining when he had to carry Theo, while following Raphael and Kace.
The Gamma would look at him every now and then, worried if his head would fall and roll on the ground, after all Raphael told him that there was someone who had slit Theo's neck, fortunately he managed to keep his head intact.
"To keep him alive, " Kace replied it simply. He had been hearing Calleb complained along the way from the old tower to the king tower.
Half an hour ago, all of sudden, Torak mind- linked Kace to help Raphael and Calleb to move Theo from the old tower.
Apparently, his second brother got an important information from Jedrek, which he would explain it later and now it was essential to keep Theo alive, since there was someone who was eager to see him die.
In spite of the fact, Kace didn't like the order at all, but here he was, doing the thing that he detested; following an order from his brother.
He cursed silently with the way how Torak always got what he wanted and how easy he convinced Kace to do his bidding. D*mn that brother of his!
And now, he had to leave Hope with Lana while he mingled with the two annoying men and one half dead general.
"You can throw him inside now, " Kace opened the door and held it for Calleb, so he could walk into the room first.
Thanked to Kace, they were able to avoid the guards on their way here, thus no one knew that they had moved Theo to this secluded place in the king tower.
Fortunately, Kace's memories were still very sharp about this place and knew the best chamber, which rarely visited by the other people.
This was a small room without window and smelled like fungus, wasn't the best place for a sick person to reside, but they would think about that later. Moreover, even in his current condition, Theo was not human that would get infected easily. Just like what the healer said; if he could make it tonight, then his condition would be fine. There was nothing to worry about, but if he was not... then they would think about another plan.
"'Throw him'?" Calleb walked past him and grimaced."How could someone who doesn't have a heart like him and Raphael have a mate? While the very kind me is still alone? This is so unfair."
And Calleb got a smack on his back from Raphael and Kace for his comment.
==============
Lilac asked two or three more guards to find where Jedrek was, but all of them told her that the king was in old tower, yet no one knew his exact location.
Lilac just nodded and walked ahead when the guards offered to accompany her looking for Jedrek, but she turned down their offer and strode away.
She would find him sooner or later, all Lilac had to do was concentrated to find his familiar movement. Just like when someone knew someone else, which they had known for a long time just by hearing their footsteps, that's how Lilac looked for Jedrek.
And her intuition led her to one door. Jedrek had a habit that she just realized it recently, which was; he tended to tap his foot against floor when he was thinking.
However, as Lilac walked over, it seemed that Jedrek wasn't the only one in the room.
