Beginning of the end

Chapter 37

Remember what I said about fighting my uni in my last post? Well I ended up dropping out because I refuse to study in a place where they don't respect students.

But I still have to study without rest which is sucking the life out of me.

Anyway. Enjoy this chapter which was a long way coming.

Chapter 737

Pushing forward too rashly (7)

The atmosphere in the hall was somber as the viewing continued. 

“Pffft.”

Zed Crossman dryly laughed before pulling the sword away from Cale’s neck.

Toward Cale, who asked him if he knew who he was... The King boldly showed his back.

“How would I not know what is happening in my palace?”

Alberu clenched his fists at those words. He randomly considered punching his father in the face to shake off that blaise expression from the face of the man whose blood filled his veins.

‘He knew…he always knew and didn't do anything…’

Shhhhhhhh-

A gust of wind blew past him at that moment.

Cale could see people slowly appearing from the trees nearby the library.

Shhhhh. Zed raised his hand and there was another gust of wind before those people disappeared.

Chills ran down the spines of the people who had always seen Zed Crossman as a complacent and ‘good’ King who had ruled his Kingdom steadily.

The hidden powers of a weak person are scarier than the obvious might of the strong, after all.

No, they were just not visible anymore. Cale was sure that they were still here.

They were the shadows that protected the king.

Cale only focused on Zed despite having seen these shadows.

‘He knows everything that happened in the First Prince Palace?’

Tasha*’s eyes landed on Zed*. A silent confrontation went on between the two even as the scene continued.

This could simply mean that he knew all of the ruckus that Cale had caused.

‘No.’

However, Cale could feel it.

‘This isn’t that kind of simple answer.’

The Queen* grit her teeth as her blood boiled. The secrets of the man she had married all these years ago were finally being unveiled in front of her.

And she didn't like them one bit.

She had done all that she could to prevent Alberu* from gaining power not only because he was the eldest son but also because he was the only child of the previous Queen* whom Zed* loved.

Even though Zed* had abandoned Alberu, she wanted to make sure there was no way Zed* ever looked back towards him. 

Because she knew.
