บท 138: 136, Lord Timothy of the Blood Clan is above

Charles had waited a whole day, and Lady Southseraph did not launch an attack. He waited another day, and still, Lady Southseraph made no moves. On the third day, Charles could no longer bear it and asked Mama Karen to relay a message to Cyrus.

Cyrus agreed to the meeting immediately.

Charles angrily accused, "How could you not keep your promise? I even shared the great secret about South Serif with you."

Cyrus simply smiled and replied, "Since it's a secret, let's keep it a secret forever."

"Jonathan raised me from a child, and I only recognize one Jonathan."

Only then did Charles realize he had outsmarted himself. The bond between Cyrus and Jonathan was too deep; he had no desire for a "real Jonathan." Moreover, he did not know that Cyrus had already decided that no matter how elaborately Charles hoped he would stage an assault with a hundred-men, he would never fall for it.

Charles's behavior further convinced Cyrus that he must be plotting something significant.
