264: PART OF CANE'S RESPONSIBILITY

PART OF CANE'S RESPONSIBILITY

It was Alan's fault for how Cane reacted. If only he didn't provoke him, he wouldn't have said those things out loud, reminded all of them about how king Aeon succeeded the throne, even though he was born from a mistress, same like Alan. 0

The current crown prince also was born from a mistress and this didn't depict a good image for the king and the son, who which he stubbornly pointed as the crown prince, as it gave a taste that king Aeon reflected himself so much on Alan.

As of now, the king was fuming mad upon the crown prince misconduct and how clueless he was to his own predicament.

How he could be so stupid to see how Cane provoked him intentionally and he knew how to hit and say the right thing to aggravate him further, while his reaction and response were justified. They couldn't completely blame Cane for that, neither what he said was a lie, because as disturbing as it sounded for some people, that was the truth.

"You…!" Alan shrieked, he wanted to rip Cane into pieces, but then he realized he didn't dare to fight this battle- hardened alpha. He lost to his gamma, there was no one could guarantee he would be alive when he fought the alpha.

"ENOUGH!" King Aeon slammed his hand against his arm rest and stood up. His figure towered above everyone else, as his face turned so red. He was furious beyond words.

He was angry at Cane for bringing up that fact to his face in front of his subject, but he was even mad to Alan for provoking the alpha, even though he had warned him to shut his mouth and think thrice before he evoked Cane's wrath.

The fact that the king couldn't punish Cane for what he said and the way he acted crudely because he had to be cautious against the alpha for the matter of the Asturi stem and the north, made the king stifled with anger.

He wanted to slap his idiot son! Probably there was something wrong with his brain, which caused him to be so stupid!

When Aeon was in Alan's age, he managed to secure the throne for himself, scheming against all the candidates for the throne and came out as a victor, but Alan right now was not even able to have a face off with an alpha?! It was ridiculous!

Let alone concocted plan to gain a benefit for himself, Alan kept digging his own grave!

Aeon had received endless complain about how unfit Alan was to be the crown prince, but he managed to shut them up, and right now, the complains would start again and it would add more to a pile up trouble that had not yet to be resolved.

"You went too far, crown prince!" king Aeon reprimanded him harshly. It got on his nerves with the fact he had to appease Cane's anger, but at the same time, he didn't want to back down and give the impression that Cane could do whatever he wanted.

Especially when the alpha had kept bringing up the topic that exasperated him, such as the black magic and this bloodline, ever since he arrived in the capital city.

"Father!" Alan shrieked, he felt wronged.

However, king Aeon didn't pay any attention to him, but he directed his eyes on Ethan. "Kneel and apologize!"

The king still demanded for the gamma to kneel and apologize to the crown prince, but it was not as humiliated as what Alan demanded for him to crawl and kiss his feet.

This was the best middle ground for this situation, as it didn't make both the king and the alpha lose their face in front of many people in this main hall.

[Do it.] Cane said in stern voice. He was on his limit right now, though no one realized it, because he had been suppressing Ethan's beast. It was not an easy task to do, especially when Ethan was so strong and he was so close to insanity once he let loose his anger.

[I would rather kill myself than to kneel in front of that damned crown prince!] Ethan was enraged. He didn't want to yield a step. His judgment was clouded by his anger.

If Alan didn't provoke him, he would be willing to kneel and apologize, but not now.

[Why do you kill yourself when you have the opportunity to kill the person who made you miserable?]

Ethan turned his head abruptly when he heard that. His shock by the alpha's words eclipsed his anger. What did that mean?

He wanted to ask about it, but Cane had closed his mind, thus he couldn't reach him through the mind link anymore and there was no way he could talk with him about it in front of many people.

Ethan was stunned. Cane didn't say it maliciously, but it sounded like a promise, yet he was not sure whether he read it too deep or not.

"Kneel and apologize or you can accept the royal punishment for your action!" the king roared impatiently.

Ethan was conflicted, but in the end, he knelt and murmured his apology, though it sounded insincere, but no one called him out for that, not even Alan. It seemed the king had put him in place, as he could only stand there, boiling in his anger, extremely dissatisfied.

The gamma did that not because of the king's threat, but because he wanted to live and see what the alpha meant by that.

Once it was done and Ethan had stood up again, as he didn't waste a second to keep kneeling in front of the nasty crown prince, the king spoke something that Cane didn't expect at all.

"This trivial problem has resolved and now because of the current incident with the monster, I want to give a special order for the alpha of the Howling Wolf pack." King Aeon then added pettily. "As he is part of the royal family, so he is part of this responsibility as well…"
