Chapter 756 - ROGUE

They didn't put their attention into this detail before, because for them whether the guardian angels were alive or not, was not the problem at all since they had won the battle.

However now, it was different. They wouldn't put their mate into possible danger again, therefore, Torak and Kace needed to know what had happened to those guardian angels before Jedrek brought them to the battlefield.

Lilac looked at her mate next to her, but Jedrek didn't show any emotions on the surface of his cold façade.

Yet, she didn't think it was a right decision for her to speak about it, though she knew what Jedrek had done to her kind that brought them to the extinction.

She was also aware about why Jedrek was very reluctant to speak about it. Because it was related to their parents, thus if he talked about this, there would be a lot of more explanation that Jedrek had to do.

Hence, Lilac kept silence and let Jedrek to make his own decision.

"I didn't sap their power," Jedrek answered. It was half true, since it was Janus who did that.

"But, in the end, what you did, killed them both. The shadow warrior and the guardian angel." Hope pointed out the obvious. "Was that really the moon goddess's order?" she mumbled to herself. Didn't think it was possible for the goddess to give such an order.

Yet, Jedrek changed their topic again and talked about what they had to do with a lot of people that would come.

The discussion lasted for another hours before Jedrek called it a day and they went back to their own chamber.

There was a silence agreement that they wouldn't have dinner together. Hours of discussion was very tiring and they were not in the mood to see each other for another few hours to share another conversation just yet.

Torak stood up and followed by Kace, while Serefina had rushed out of the room once Jedrek said the meeting was enough for today.

"I think we need to know each other," Hope said when Kace pulled her toward the door. She looked at him expectantly.

Kace frowned. He didn't like the idea of leaving Hope with Lilac.

"I do think the same," Lilac said cheerfully and walked toward Hope and Raine, dodging Jedrek's hand that was about to pull her back swiftly. "If you think that I will hurt them, that is totally wrong."

"Oh, I don't think you will hurt my mate, but your mate will." Kace stood in front of Hope, blocked her behind his broad back. "What happened to your hands?" he nodded at Lilac's hands, which were wrapped with tight bandages. "He did it to you?"

"Oh, this…" Lilac raised both of her hands in front of Kace as she could feel Jedrek walked closer to her and stood right behind her, just in case Kace wanted to do something stupid. "I fought Serefina," she said truthfully.

"You fought Serefina?" Kace was surprised. He had never thought a guardian angel would be able to fight the witch. "What do you meant you fought her? By squabbling?"

The smile on Lilac's lips faded when she heard that. "You look down on me."

"No," Kace replied. He just didn't get it. "But, by what you fought her? She is called a witch for a reason."

"Doesn't Hope also have a power?" Lilac looked at Hope and felt Jedrek's hand wrapped her waist protectively.

"Yes. Seeing ghosts." Kace was rewarded by a slap from Hope because he said it as if he mocked her. "I don't see it is useful to fight Serefina," he said grumpily while rubbing his upper arm, which was being hit by Hope.

However, before their conversation went any further, someone knocked on the door and by the sound of it, whoever there, was having an urgency with the king.

Kace opened the door, annoyed, because he stood closer to it.

"Your majesty," a guard rushed inside the room and nodded toward Torak and Kace when he walked past them before he knelt in front of the king. "Rogues attack the nearby town."

"Rogue?" Kace frowned. The last time he was here, he never heard there was rogue that attacked a town in this realm. Just how many of them until they bold enough to do that?

"Call Eaton and Lyrus to take care of it," Jedrek said. He frowned. This guard shouldn't come to him directly for this kind of problem. One of his general would take care of it.

"They are there, your grace, but they are outnumbered." The guard seemed anxious when he said it.

"Outnumbered? How many of them?" Jedrek furrowed his brows.

The guard shook his head. "A thousand, or two…" He raised his head to see his furious king. "The report came from mind- link thirty minutes ago, but when we tried to contact them again, we can't reach them, therefore Beta Lyrus and Lord Eaton went there, but they have not yet returned."

"Lilac, stay here I mean it!" He said sternly and glared at his mate. Jedrek didn't waste his time any longer as he rushed out while giving an order to the guard.

"Rogue?" Kace looked at Torak, confused.

Torak watched as his brother's back disappeared in the corner of the corridor and then turned to Raine. "Look for Calleb and Raphael, and stay with them."

"Where are you going? Will you go to the town?" Raine grabbed Torak's hand tightly. She knew the answer even before Torak said it.

"Find them and don't roam around alone. I will come back." Torak kissed her forehead and smacked Kace's shoulder. "Let's go."

"Why should I go?" Kace grumbled while rubbing his shoulder. It was hurt. However, the younger brother still followed his siblings to go the town. "Stay with them, if I found you roam around this place alone, I would scold you until daybreak." He threatened Hope before he ran to catch up with Torak and Jedrek.
