Chapter 938 You Are Just Blinded By Father's Words



"The Artifact that you showed to me in the meeting,

That was what she used to run away that day."

Oberon glanced at Felix and spoke.

Hearing those words, Felix's expression changed.

'Make sure you show it to him,'

He remember how that Eaglekin gave him the Artifact, nagging him to show it to Oberon, he found it strange that time but when he saw Oberon's reaction after he did show that Artifact to him, he understood why he said that.

Oberon lost his calm when he saw that artifact, Felix was shocked that he was showing such a big reaction, but at the same time, he also wondered how that Eaglekin knew about it…

But…

If Oberon's story is true then…

Then…

Felix lowered his head again.

There were too many things going on in his mind right now.

Rune had a strange expression on her face as well.

She understood now...

The reason her father was acting like that all those years ago, it wasn't because of 'mother's death', it was before Ivy died...

However, Rune was still not sure.

Her father's story made sense but there were no proofs to back it up, what if her mother actually did not betray him? What if the story was different and her father was just twisting the facts and presenting the story as he wants?

Rune knows it well, her father was perfectly capable of doing that.

After their 'mother's death', she had seen her father turn into a cold and ruthless man. Actually, even before that, Oberon was a calculative man.

Yes, right now, Rune was doubting every single aspect of her life.

And how could she not?

Everything happening around her was just too much for her.

First her brother, then her husband, then her father, and now her 'dead' mother, every person around her seemed fake and seems to have a plan of their own.

It was just too confusing.

Just what was happening in her family?

"I had my doubts when I checked your storage ring, but to think that woman has actually contacted you."

Suddenly, Oberon sighed as he glanced at Felix.

"His storage ring?"

Rune frowned.

"Blackheart."

Oberon replied.

"It was inside his storage ring."

Rune's expression changed.

She widened her eyes as she turned towards Felix, Felix just avoided her eyes. Rune's realized it, when she took Felix's ring, her mind was focused on the contract, so she must have missed it, but to think Felix would actually be carrying Blackheart…

"Becoming the successor, using the chance to use Blackheart when the Successor and City Lord have a meal alone according to the City Tradition.

Sounds just like something that woman would come up with."

Oberon spoke and as he did, Felix glanced at him with a shocked look on his face.

"What? Did you really think it was that grand of a plan? She tried to do the same thing before. To think she still hasn't learned. How do you even plan to kill me after I am poisoned? You think you alone would be enough to kill me once I am poisoned?"

Oberon questioned, then, however, he narrowed his eyes.

"Or maybe…

Your mother did learn something from the past and have something else up your sleeves?"

He then looked into Felix's eyes and,

"Does she have something else prepared, Felix?"

"You think I will tell you?" Felix replied as he looked into Oberon's eyes.

"Feli-"

Oberon wanted to talk it out and convince Felix by telling him how it was his mother who was behind all this but, I think you should take a look at

"I do not trust you, Oberon Feline."

Felix spoke in a hoarse voice.

Oberon closed his eyes as he breathed heavily. Obviously, he was angry.

"Father."

Suddenly, Rune called out.

Oberon opened his eyes and glanced at Rune.

"Give me some time,"

Rune replied.

Oberon observed his daughter's face for a while, then, he decided,

"I will let you two talk and discuss how to proceed after this."

Saying those words, he turned around.

"I will make this clear,

I didn't pursue that woman before because I was guilty of how I treated her even though she was my wife, however, if that is how she is going to respond, then this time,

I won't stay silent.

No matter where she is, I am going to find her and I am going to get rid of her.

So you two better make a wise decision."

Saying those words, Oberon walked away with a cold look on his face.

Once only Rune and Felix were left, Rune turned towards Felix and questioned,

"The Blackheart, was it the mother who gave that to you?

What are you planning to do with it?

Poison father? What after that? Just like he said, you can't possibly think that you can defeat father after he is poisoned right? What is your actual plan?"

Rune questioned.

"You seem to believe his words," Felix commented.

"His story seemed more logical than yours. Someone like mother couldn't possibly run away from father even if she burns her life force. That part of her story was definitely a lie, what makes you think the rest of it is true?"

"He is just twisting the facts and is trying to manipulate us!"

"And what about mother? Is she not manipulating you to get her revenge?"

"No she is not! She loves the two of us! She isn't trying to manipulate anyone!"

"Love? Then why is she trying to get you killed? Even she should know how risky it is. What sane mother would put her child through this?"

"Don't act like you know everything!"

Felix shouted.

"It was me who wanted to do it! She was against it all the time!"

"Yet she still allowed it in the end, did she not?"

"You are just blinded by Father's words."

Felix snorted.

"Are you sure I am the one blinded?"

Rune questioned.

"…"

Felix didn't say anything.

It was as if he was saying, 'There is no need for me to talk to you.'

Rune couldn't help but sigh. She was still confused about the situation, she was inclined towards believing Oberon, but she still wasn't sure.

If only Felix could cooperate a little, it might help her make up her mind, but he wasn't willing to talk.

"This is a problem…"

Rune agreed with those words, but then, her eyes fell on a man who was standing right next to her with a grim look on his face and,

"What are you doing here?"
