Esdras looked at the doors Cillian had just passed through. Why couldn't he just tell him how he felt instead of keeping everything in? He was never going to keep the harem, it will be dispersed tomorrow and all the concubines already know.
That's why they did everything in their power to seduce him so they would be able to stay.
The only person he wants at his side is Cillian. How could he doubt him? Since they were already bonded and he saw the concubines he thought that he was going to keep things the way they were.
He doesn't blame him, it's not like he discussed with him. He closed his eyes to sense him and flew out of the ballroom. Asher ran after his father but he quickly lost track.
He and Cillian are twice as strong as him so he'll never be able to find them. He looked down in anger and his eyes turned red. His father dared to go after Cillian when he knew how he felt about him.
