Chapter 336: THE DARK MAGIC USER

Chapter 336: THE DARK MAGIC USER

Lady Cyan couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Not even her father could do this, forget about her younger brother. What was the deal with this runt?

She watched everything and the King could feel the tension roll off of her, as he glanced at his mistress. "Do you have any idea why she can do that?"

"No,’’ Lady Cyan replied curtly. She balled her fists, but her expression remained serene.

"So, what is the meaning of this?" King Aeon asked in a low voice until only the two of them could hear him.

However, Lady Cyan didn’t answer him immediately. She contemplated the situation and watched how all the people were flabbergasted. What Iris had done blew their minds.

"Ask him how to find the true perpetrator," Lady Cyan said to the King. She was still clueless about the lycan or how Princess Osana got cursed, but this alpha from the Howling Wolf pack had a way to figure it all out? She wanted to see what he could do.

"It’s so admirable for the Luna of the Howling Wolf pack to have such ability, but how do plan to find the perpetrator with that?" The King then added, "Will she be able to sniff the owner of the black magic stone? Even so, the owner had died. You have killed her and the only clue is gone!"

Hearing that, Cane scoffed. "My King, I have not yet said anything, but you are already drawing conclusions. I am sure it’s because you are very concerned about your son, the fourth prince, who had gone missing for days, or else, it would look like you want to put the blame on me and end this newly found pointer."

King Aeon’s face turned red because of the blatant disrespect that Cane showed him in front of everyone. But, it was actually him who had offended the Alpha first by insinuating his mate was a dog who could sniff around for the black magic stones.

However, before the King could lash out and force him into a difficult position, Cane immediately changed the topic smoothly to highlight the importance of this meeting and directed all the people’s attention toward the topic he wanted them to pay close attention to.

"If my mate can pinpoint the right spot of the shards of a black magic stone embedded in my flesh, it will not be hard for her to look for it somewhere else. Why don’t we go to the East Palace and see whether the same black magic stone was there or not."

East Palace was the place where Princess Osana stayed and no one dared to come closer to the palace, since they were afraid the curse would affect them as well.

"Why should we go there? What is the point if we found the black magic stone there? It will not help reveal the true perpetrator!" This time, it was Alan’s advisor, who spoke.

Apparently, the Crown Prince finally learned from his mistake and started to use his brain a little bit as he used his advisor to voice out his grievances now.

"Every act of black magic leaves traces, that’s the principle of using black magic. The perpetrator must have something from the victim and the victim must have been implanted with something that contains black magic without them knowing it. In Princess Osana’s case, I believe we will find something in her palace that was suffused with black magic for her to suffer from the curse." Cane looked at the head of the royal sorcerers. "Correct me if I am wrong, magic is not my forte."

"I don’t think so," Lady Cyan spoke for the first time, her voice rang throughout the main hall, it was calm and dignified. "From the way you spoke, it seems like you have learned about magic for quite some time."

Cane smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes at all. "The King entrusted me with the problem that involves black magic and a cursed creature like the lycan, it is only natural for me to teach myself a little bit about it."

Reading Cane’s answer, Iris really wanted to clap her hands. She was in awe with her mate. How could he be so calm to answer every question that came his way as if he had anticipated all kinds of questions?

He didn’t even flinch when he talked about the lycan, exposing himself out there in the open to those people. He literally fooled them all, right in their faces.

He twisted the story as he liked and if Iris didn’t know better, she would have a hard time distinguishing between what was true and what was not.

"Actually, the curse on Princess Osana is not required for her to accidentally keep the black magic stone, as long as the dark magic user has her personal possession, the curse could be initiated."

Hearing that, a malicious look glinted in Cane’s eyes. "My Lady, how do you know such a detail? Did you learn about black magic as well?"

Haco had told him he couldn’t continue to make Princess Osana suffer, because there was another black magic user in the palace who killed children to counter his magic. Unless Cane wanted to turn a blind eye to the dead children, they should stop torturing the Princess.

Haco himself was harshly against it. He could tolerate Cane tricking him into cursing the Princess, but he didn’t want to stain his hands with the blood of innocent children.

So did the Alpha, thus they stopped and Princess Osana didn’t have any flare ups again recently.

However, her condition was not improving, since the curse was not completely lifted.

"I am from Andelus Continent, where the Holy Kingdom is, I know a thing or two about magic," Lady Cyan replied calmly, she looked unfazed, but her eyes flashed, she was on guard. The Alpha was not someone that she could look down upon.

She had heard all the banter related to him and how he was a great negotiator, but only now she also learned, he was very cunning and his words hid his wickedness.

This alpha was someone that could dig information by asking a simple question or get some clue by the way his opponent asked him. Even a question that was thrown at him could be a source of information for him.

Not wanting Cane to dig deeper into her background, Lady Cyan shifted the topic. Most of the people knew if she was really from the Andelus continent, but it was still a question of whether she could use magic or not.

"In that case, why don’t we go to the East Palace?"

"It could be someone else who has cursed the Princess." The head sorcerer was trying to appeal to his case. "There is a possibility it was another dark magic user who had done it."

If it was proven the witch that had tried to curse the Alpha was the same black magic user who had cursed the princess, he would be doomed, after all, Princess Osana was the King’s blood sister. He didn’t know how he would survive the court, let alone keep his head intact.

"Are you trying to say there are more traitors within your ranks? Just how many of your magic users have turned into dark sorcerers?" Cane asked him bluntly.
