The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 843 - SHE IS EVEN CRAZIER THAN HIM

Chapter 843 - SHE IS EVEN CRAZIER THAN HIM

Was Jedrek being ignorant? How could he ask something like that? He wanted all the centaurs to pledge their loyalty to him even after he forced them to witness his punishment of burning Chiron and Carina alive? Was he daydreaming?

"I am really curious to hear, what you are going to do to make them feel loyal to you?" Zarrn shook his head, it sounded ridiculous even when saying it and didn't make any sense at all.

"Me?" Jedrek tilted his head, asking. "It's your job to convince them."

That's it. Torak averted his eyes from Jedrek and Zarrn, as he stared at the ceiling of the dungeon. He should have known that his brother was cunning enough to shove the problem on other's shoulders while doing nothing. He would use any resource to get what he wanted and Zarrn's condition was perfect for him to carry out with his plan.

Jedrek was something else entirely.

"I will release you and you can go to your people. The execution will be in three days and this amount of time should be enough for you to convince them, or else it will be their turn," Jedrek said in sharp tone, without leaving any room for negotiation.

Zarrn's laughed wryly when he heard that, from the way Jedrek said it, it sounded very easy, as easy as flipping your hand, yet the reality told otherwise.

"Tell me what I have to do to convince them to watch their chief being burned alive and then pledge their loyal to the very person who ordered that?!" Zarrn's voice was filled with frustration when he yelled at Jedrek.

This task was not only hard, but nearly impossible to do it.

"Do you even remember that it was Chiron, who had brought us out from your tyranny?! If it was not for him, we had been extinct centuries ago!" Zarrn shouted at Jedrek, his hooves tapped the ground furiously as he moved away from Jedrek, avoiding him like he was a plague.

Jedrek didn't react to his strong rejection, he waited for Zarrn to say his piece. This time, his patience had been honed thanks to the times when he had to face Lilac's utter disobedience.

"Are you sure that it was Chiron who helped you all to escape from my clutches?" Jedrek moved closer. "A bunch of helpless centaurs against hundreds of hungry beasts like lycanthropes that could tear you limb by limb and outrun your kind in your pitiful state, do you really think if I really wanted to kill you all, you would be able to escape from my hands?"

They were able to escape from Jedrek's entourage, though it felt strange, but they always thought it was the moon goddess, who had taken a pity on them and didn't want their kind to go extinct.

In spite of the fact, it was almost impossible for them to survive in their helpless state then, but they managed to pull it through, even Jedrek thought they wouldn't make it.

However, when Zarrn heard what Jedrek said, he didn't know what he should believe anymore.

"You didn't need to do anything, you just need to tell them the truth,??? Jedrek said. "You know what exactly the truth was; Chiron kidnapped my mate, he forsaked his people for his personal grudge, he chose to side with the devils to go against what we all are trying to fight for…"

The way Jedrek's eyes narrowed at him made Zarrn unable to avert his gaze from the king, he listened to him and realized that it was undeniably true what Jedrek was saying.

"You can add more, since you were there when Chiron said all of that crap about grudge and all, you heard it for yourself how he didn't even care about his own people." Jedrek shrugged. "It is not me, who's trying to kill Chiron, but his weak heart that allowed him to be used by the devils that sentenced him. He let the devils play with his mind and awaken his dark desires, and that was all they need to turn him into one of their minions."

Zarrn hardened his jaw when he listened to Jedrek, but deep in his heart, he knew that was the truth and was something that he couldn't deny.

Chiron bowed to the temptation of revenge that the devils furnished before him.

"They will not listen to someone, who was not their chief," Zarrn finally spoke tiredly. These waves of emotions were simply too exhausting.

"Then, why don't you be the leader for them?" Jedrek raised his brows defiantly.

==============

"We should go to the north wing to see Rosie, why are we here to pick a bunch of flowers?" Calleb was holding a basket of flowers that Hope plucked for him.

Since they arrived in this place, this castle had been surrounded with various kind of flowers, knowing what Lilac could do, it goes without saying who had done that, especially after the mating ceremony.

It was a perfect excuse for someone, who had an allergy reaction for a certain flower, like Serefina to stay far away from the castle.

But, it also saved time for Hope to arrange something special for Rosie, since they couldn't buy something cute in the gift shops. She didn't even know whether gift shops existed in this realm or not.

"Keep silent and just listen to me," Hope scolded Calleb and put another flower, afterward she tied it together, pulling the knot into a ribbon.

"Don't tell me, you want me to give this to Rosie," Calleb grimaced. He liked the idea of giving something romantic to his mate, since their first encounter didn't seem go very well, but shouldn't they had to think about how to take care of Rosie's parents first?

They were his first and foremost grinding obstacle, not to mention her twin brothers. Ugh!

Calleb felt like he just wanted to take her and elope somewhere far. Well, that was what his desperate mind told him to do.

"No, not for Rosie. These flowers are for her mother," Hope said cheerfully.

What?

She was even crazier than him!
