章 409: It's me

Bey was a chatterbox. After telling me that Rufus wasn't the emperor, my mind buzzed. Our plan was for Rufus to take the throne, as it was theirs in the first place. There were only two possibilities on why our plan changed its course. First, Rufus refused to take the job, and second, was a huge problem arose. 

She didn't mention who the king was, and I didn't press about the name. Still, my mind had listed down the La Crox, who could be the current emperor. Sam was automatically out of my list; he'd rather die than carry that responsibility. Moreover, the fact that we were in Minowa was proof that he wasn't the emperor. 

Who could it be? Klaus? Yul? Jayden? Dominique? Who else was there? Was it Claude?

I looked at Bey while biting my tongue. I wanted to ask more, but I figured she wouldn't know. It was better to return to Sam's house and ask him directly.

"Bey, I think we should..." I trailed off when I sensed some people approaching us.
