Bab 383: Speculation

Lorenzo gave a little shrug upon hearing the most justifiable question from King Everard and scoffed.

Then he posed some of his own questions to the King in response, “I guess the late alpha was mad at me because you took my side and not his? Even though I am just a man with no power, you favored me instead of him. Maybe that’s the reason why?”

Lorenzo looked down at the stacks of files on the desk in front of him and slightly clenched his jaw before further trying to prove his point, making it sound as though he was only making speculation, “I think he was taking out his anger and maybe he was trying to make me pay for the humiliation I caused him.”

“Why, no!” Everard exclaimed in disagreement with Lorenzo. “If anything, he was the one who brought that humiliation upon himself. And dare I say, bless his soul, that he deserved it.”
