Chapter 825 - DISMAY

As a king, kneeling before someone was completely unacceptable and a degrading act for a royal like Jedrek, the first born of the Donovans and the king of the lycanthropes in this realm.

Not to mention, if he consented to the disrespectful request, then he have to kneel before the other creature, Jedrek wouldn\'t even lower his voice in front of anyone. Not his people. Not his brother. Moreover, in front of his enemy.

Not only he had to lower his pride in front of Chiron, but there was other people there as well; Carina, Zarrn, Eaton, Kace… and Lilac.

Jedrek could see Lilac shaking her head faintly, as tears streamed down her beautiful face. Her face turned absurdly pale. She looked even more sickly than the last time he saw her, yesterday morning, before he went out of the city gates.

His beast clawed at the edge of his mind, wanting to break free for such disrespectful request and his Alpha\'s blood seared with anger with the very thought of him bending his knees before a lowly creature.

"CHIRON!"Kace roared as he took a step closer. "That\'s enough!" his hands balled into fists beside his body. "You have gone too far!"

Chiron put Lilac down, but because the guardian angel was too weak to support her body, she lost her balance and was about to fall to the ground if it wasn\'t for Chiron, who immediately pulled her back and held her around her neck.

However, that was not the thing that made Jedrek and Kace growl in animosity, but the fact that Chiron dared to point a sharp dagger to Lilac\'s heart. One strike and it would stop her heart beat forever.

"Chiron!" Zarrn widened his eyes in disbelief. He still thought that Chiron wouldn\'t go that far. If he wanted to humiliate Jedrek, he could understand, but to kill the innocent guardian angel, it was something totally different from his wildest imaginations. "We are already here! We got our land back! Why do you want to ruin all of that?! You are shoving all of us into harms way!??

Chiron didn\'t budge, his expression didn\'t even change when he heard that.

"Have you forgotten what he had done to our people?" Chiron asked calmly, as if there was nothing that could affect him anymore and this made Kacefeel cold, he had never seen this side of Chiron before. "He gave us the land, but in exchange, forcing us to join the war. The war that had nothing to do with us!" Chiron looked at Carina, who was standing between Zarrn and the beast, Eaton.

"Chiron, this is not you…" Kace said in a hurting tone. He felt like he was betrayed by someone, who he trusted with all his heart. He remembered all the conversations that he shared with him.

"This is me, Kace… I am sorry that this has to end like this…" Chiron flashed him a sad smile before he shifted his focus back to Jedrek. "Kneel before me. Kneel, so they could see, how high you put your pride. What kind of king you are. What kind of mate you are."

Kace looked back at his brother, he was baffled by this side of Chiron before his eyes. It almost felt like he had become someone else, someone strange that he had never known.

"Jedrek…" Kace called out to his brother, but he didn\'t know what he had to say further. If it were him and that was Hope, who was being held as a hostage and was in danger, he would kneel without a second thought, although the beast inside of him wouldn\'t do that willingly.

However, Jedrek was different. He wouldn\'t put his pride aside and save his mate, would he?

"If I kneel, you will release her?" Jedrek asked, his voice was very calm, eerily calm, with his face devoid from any emotion. No one could possibly guess what thoughts were running inside his mind right now.

"If seeing you kneel before me can assuage my grudge toward you, I will release her," Chiron said.

"Chiron! Enough!" Zarrn roared, he walked forward and stood beside Jedrek. "Release her! There are children among our people! You think he will not harm them if you hurt his mate?! Think about the children!"

However, Chiron scoffed derisively, but there was a deep sadness in the way he looked at Zarrn. "Of course, he will harm them, no matter what I will do now. I have already come to this point, there is no turning back. He will harm the children. In the past he didn\'t even care if he had to kill most of the female centaurs that we have. Along with my unborn child."

"Chiron you are insane!" Zarrn gritted his teeth. He respected Chiron all this time. If it was not because of him, they wouldn\'t be able to escape from this realm centuries ago. But, now they had a chance to get everything back, he should put aside his personal grudge. There were still their young generations that they had to think of.

Joining the war was the only way they could achieve a peaceful life, because there wouldn\'t be able to live in peace if the demons were to rule them. They did this not only for Jedrek, but for themselves too.

Why couldn\'t Chiron understand this simple logic?! Zarrn thought in frustration.

"I knelt before him, pleading for the life of our people, but he didn\'t even bat an eyelid, and he ordered his people to kill them mercilessly," Chiron looked at Jedrek and watched the way the king was staring back at him. "I want to see, how far will you go for your mate now?"

Jedrek was actually watching Lilac\'s face, she was crying. She was crying for him while saying \'no\' faintly.

She was so stupid, right? Why should she cry and ask Jedrek not to do that when the one in danger was herself?

At that time, from behind Chiron, there were a few figures that appeared out of thin air.

"We almost missed this opportunity to see the king bend his knees…" it was Lucifer, who was talking. He was standing among the other six devils and one witch. The witch with red hair…

Jedrek didn\'t know whether seeing the seven devils or watching Serefina along with them shocked him the most.
