Kapitel 361: Drawing the Line

LERRIN

Lerrin didn't let himself move or show any reaction.

Hern's face was grim. "Horche was killed by Reth. He let his beast… hunt him."

"Reth personally killed a prisoner?"

"Tortured and killed him, yes."

Suhle spoke and Lerrin almost jumped. She rarely spoke when other males were there. "Is it possible this is rumor rather than fact? Something… something t-the Cat set up for you to hear to… spark you to retaliate?" she said softly from the other side of the room. Hern looked at her oddly, then turned back to Lerrin.

"My eyes and ears were very close. They listened to the screams. Only the King and two of his guards were in the building, and only the King left with blood on him. Plus, they heard the Lion claim its kill."

Lerrin swore, rage surging into his throat to choke him.

Reth? The same Reth that swore to his face that they could make peace between them?
