314: A PURPOSE FOR IRIS

A PURPOSE FOR IRIS

This ominous feeling was the same like when she felt the magic stone, which had suffused by dark magic and was used to harm Cane, though there was something slightly different, but she was sure it was dark magic inside a magic stone. 0

"You have a magic stone, which had contaminated with dark magic?" Iris frowned at Haco and the sorcerer was stunned because Iris could tell about that.

"How could she know?!" Haco fished out something from his pocket and put the earth magic stone in the middle of the table.

Iris could differentiate it was an earth magic stone easily now.

"Are you still trying to tell me she is not a magic user?!" Haco was still thrilled to witness what this runt could do. No, he didn't think she was a runt at all, but from what Cane told him, her parent was shifters. It didn't make sense if a magic user was born from shifter parent. "I will not buy it!"

"You can sense it?" Cane tucked her hair behind her ear. He knew Iris could sense it, he only wanted to make sure of what she could do and also to prove it to Haco what he had told him.

The sorcerer was so adamant, dark magic was hard to be noticed, unless it inflicted the person and it showed the trace of the curse on them, just like what happened to princess Osana. Magic stone that was suffused by dark magic would be hard to be recognized, you need to be an exceptional magic user to do so or having divine power.

But the last option was not most likely, since it was only a Serafim, who had a divine power. It was a power that differed from any magic in this realm.

"Who are you?" Haco looked at Iris closely, he even stood up, as if her figure was an obscure object in his eyes, so he needed to pay close attention to her, but Cane shut his antic down.

He knew there was something unusual with Iris, but this was not the time to dig deeper. The situation in the palace became even more and more complicated and the tension between the royal and the Red Claw pack became even more palpable. It was not even a surprise, if something big would happen, since the alpha of the Red Claw pack had ordered his warriors to march to the border of the city.

The number of the warrior was not many, but it would be enough to resuscitate the fear and tension inside the capital city. Right now, the situation in the capital city was way more conducive, thanked to prince Kellan and Cane, who worked together to calm the people.

Although the lycan had not yet been caught and the fourth king was still missing, also the curse on prince Osana was not yet resolved.

"When did you feel it the first time?" Cane asked Iris, ignoring Haco completely.

Iris thought about that for a while. "Since we entered the shop," she said. "Since we got off the carriage…"

"Hm." Cane thought about it and calculated the detail.

While Haco didn't care much about the nuts and bolts, he was way more interested to study this runt. How she could do that?

"Can you sense it in a bigger area?" Cane knew about another thing of what Iris could do. He heard in detail how she managed to get the dark magic stone out of his body, which Aria had put on him.

Therefore, whether Iris could find the dark magic stone, was the critical point of this plan.

"I think it depends on how many of the dark magic stone…" Iris contemplated about it for a while. "In your case, the dark magic stone inside you was so small, but because I stayed in the room next to you, I could sense it pretty easily, while this…"

The size of the dark magic stone in front of them was only as big as a pebble, the size of a half knuckle.

"Understood. I will need your ability soon."

Iris's eyes lit up slightly when she heard that, she straightened her back, as she looked at him expectantly. "What should I do?"

Cane brushed her bangs lightly. He knew giving a task to her would be a better idea rather than to leave her on her own device and let her wallowed continuously.

Some time what you needed was a purpose. She needed a reason to survive, just like he did. Even if the reason was malignant and for Cane's case it was a revenge.

"I will tell you when the time comes."

Like usual, Cane didn't explain many things to Iris, but she knew what she should do, only lacked of the time when she should do it.

But at the very least, she was waiting for it. She became less depressed, because there was something she looked forward too, though her nightmare would come every now and then, and she would feel under the weather seldomly, but she ate better now.

Four days later the situation in the court became even worse. The tension suffocated all the people and the pressure on Cane to find the fourth prince became more immense, even so, the alpha still kept the dead body of the prince in secret and had not yet revealed him.

All of the people, who knew about the truth couldn't fathom what the alpha's grand plan was, since he could tell them where the body and be done with the king's pressure.

The more alpha Dristan from the Red Claw pack pressured the king, the more king Aeon reminded Cane of his duty as the king's envoy.

But, all Cane said to him was; he still had four months before summer, which was the time limit the king gave to him and king Aeon couldn't press him any further.

This morning, Iris went out with Hanna, she wanted to go to the garden and enjoy the sunlight, because the snow had melted and the weather was not so cold, she felt comfortable to walk around.

More so, this king palace was far away from the palace where prince Kellan lived, thus it was a very small chance for them to encounter with each other.

However, when Iris and Hanna walked out of the room, they met with Nala, who was about to approach the bedroom.

She looked a little bit taken aback and couldn't turn around, because it would be seen as her avoiding Iris, since the chamber Iris and Cane occupied was the only chamber in this part of the building.

"Luna Iris," Nala greeted politely, having no other choice. She learned her mistake when she visited the orphanage and Cane humiliated her, thus she didn't try to pull the same trick on Iris again.

On the other hand, the smile on Iris's face fell when she saw Nala. She was not happy to see her, especially around her and Cane's quarter.

"Why are you here?" Iris's voice was cold.

"I need to see alpha Cane, is he inside the room?" Nala asked brazenly.

Iris squinted her eyes dangerously. "Why are you always looking for my mate?"
