Chapter 700 - DON'T YOU AGREE WITH ME?

"I agree to go with you with one condition." Kace grinded his teeth in his attempt to hold back his anger. It wasn't easy for him to finally relent to Torak's demand.

After a long discussion that seemed would never end, Kace was cornered by Torak, Serefina and Chiron. Unfortunately for the younger Donovan, he was not able to counter the three of them at the same time.

Those three people were the most stubborn, persistent and too good at manipulating other. Kace's chance to get himself out of their demand was near zero.

"What is it?" Torak leaned his body against the backrest of his seat and looked at his grumpy brother. After a long time without seeing him he looked even crabbier than usual when it came to this kind of matter.

Torak knew Kace's displeasure toward Jedrek and Torak couldn't say that he agreed with all of the rules that his older brother set, but it was his realm and he was the sovereign, thus it was only his words were prevailed.

And this very reason too, which became one of the reasons why Torak chose to leave that realm. Aside he couldn't stand his brother, the Alpha's blood in him didn't allow Torak to kneel before the King.

All this time, the two of them had a tacit understanding to not disturb each other sovereignty, therefore, even though Jedrek was after the guardian angel and had an intention to kill them, he wouldn't do it openly in Torak's territory.

However, more or less, Torak knew Jedrek had secretively infiltrated his area. His last meeting with Lyrus had proved that.

After all, at that time, Torak had lost hope to find his mate after centuries of waiting for her, he thought the moon goddess had forgotten her own promise.

"I want Jedrek give back Centaur's land to them," Kace said without hesitation.

Chiron looked at the Lycan and lowered his head solemnly as if showing his gratitude. After all, this was what he had asked to him long time ago. He thought Kace had forgotten about it.

"You should ask him, not me," Torak said casually. "I will give it back to him if that land is within my territory, but unfortunately, it is not."

Kace shook his head. He knew Torak would say this. "You talk to him. I don't want to talk to him."

"Why?" Torak asked again calmly.

"Why?" Kace stared at his brother incredulously. "He had locked me inside the castle before I managed to escape, hunted me down by ordering his people to find me and killed my mate, and now you ask me 'why'?"

"Don't you want to complain directly to him? Maybe you can knock some sense into his head." Torak advised.

Kace scoffed, he wouldn't fall into Torak's words. "You want me to go. You talk to him. If he agreed to give back the land to the centaur, I will go. If not…" He shrugged his shoulder and waved his hand before walking out of the tent, leaving Torak, Serefina and Chiron inside.

It was the end of the conversation.

There was silence after Kace left the tent and it was Chiron who talked first. "I know this war is important, but we have been far too long from our ancestral lands. If we have to die, we want to die in our own land."

With that being said, Chiron nodded his head and walked out of the tent to find Kace.

"So?" Torak tilted his head toward Serefina. She had been silent ever since Kace agreed to Torak's demand on the terms that a little bit tricky.

"What 'so'?" Serefina frowned at Torak. She plopped on her seat and closed her eyes. The witch seemed exhausted.

"Why don't you go to Jedrek and talk to him? He usually listens to you."

Serefina threw Torak a nasty look. "Right. All I have to do is to meet him and say; hai, can you give back the centaur's land to them? And I will expect he say 'yes' easily…"

"Maybe you can try that way," Torak said casually, but when Serefina was about to retort he added, "in the end, you have to meet him, sooner or later."

==============  

"Thank you for the term that you asked earlier." Chiron found Kace was lying down on a big rock, a little bit far from their campsite.

"I didn't ask that for you alone. That's for me too." Kace didn't open his eyes and let Chiron stood beside him.

That sounded like a simple request, it wasn't impossible to be granted, but also there was a high chance for Jedrek to turn it down without batting an eye.

And whatever it was, Kace didn't want to get headache and be involved in the way they convinced Jedrek to do so.

He was not kind enough to forgive his brother for all the things that he had been through because of him.

The wound on his back was the end of his tolerance. The cost to heal it almost made him lost Hope and he would never forget that.

"I still need to thank you." Chiron was adamant.

There was a silent between them before Kace spoke again. "How can you so easily forgive the person who killed your mate?���

Now, Kace had experienced that, he didn't think he would ever ready to face the person who killed his mate calmly, just like what Chiron did right now.

There was nothing he wanted more rather than vengeance if Jedrek's people, Maximus, managed to locate her place and killed her.

That d*mn lycan should rotten in hell. There was a little bit of regret that he didn't kill him in their last encounter.

"You were not the one who killed my mate and my firstborn, it will be wrong if I kill you," Chiron said in impassive tone. "After all, living in sorrow, knowing you lost something so dear to you, is worse than death itself. Don't you agree with me?"
