"Because we do not have any relationship." he screamed. His chest heaving with rage. He felt like he was robbed and now Cedric was here to mock him.
He was sure that the man would laugh in reply. But Cedric did not reply. He stood there silently staring at Killian until Killian felt guilty and embarrassed. It was Cedric who had taken everything from him, yet he was the one feeling bad. Ha! It must be his manipulation.
"She is waiting for you for weeks, if you have time, go meet her. She could not come to you." Cedric's voice was so calm as if he was a clown shouting over nothing. Killian felt his agitation increasing. He wanted to attack Cedric. But he knew that he could not hurt him.
Suddenly the words of the maid echoed in his mind. If only he could hurt Cedric, and get him out of their life, Elara would focus on him again. He would have the duchy that was left to him by his parents. And Elara.
