Chapter 189: Bully

Chapter Hundred-Eighty-Nine – Bully

(High Mountains)

Being visited after long decades of being abandoned at High Mountains, Sorren felt something akin gratitude.

Dylan happily ate the chicken soup that Sorren said he made ’out of boredom’. Dylan was already used to that.

The Prince would train him to be stronger and say he only did it because he was bored.

Or he’d go out of his way to save him from a plight, in the name of looking for what to distract himself with.

Perhaps it was true, the Prince did seem easily bored, but Dylan was glad that the Prince found him worthy to spend those boring times with.

Dylan rushed to the kitchen to return the plate, then fell on the ground besides the Prince. He noticed they were no maids or servants within the Prince’s quarters.

"Your highness, doesn’t it get lonely? You should accept maids, at least." He rose from the ground. "I’m sure they are girls who’d be willing..." he trailed off.

The Prince didn’t seem to be listening. Something else was on his mind. Dylan looked down, pouting a little.

Sorren noticed he was quiet and glanced at him. "If I am lonely, will it be servants that’d keep me company? Or the sexual harassing girls of the pack?"

Dylan’s cheeks flushed as the Prince mentioned sexual harassing. Did it happen to him? Was that why he looked so sober? "You were attacked by a such person?"

"Did you hear that I killed someone? Then no."

Dylan breathed out. He stayed quiet before mustering courage to speak on what he came for. "Prince Sorren." He knelt down.

Sorren stared at the boy, kneeling before him. A small smirk came to his face. "You look like you’ve been bullied, Dylan." He said as a joke.

"I have." Came Dylan’s answer.

The smile on Sorren’s face disappeared instantaneously. Was that why the boy came to him? He had been wondering why he came alone, without Sigma.

If Dylan had been bullied, then Sigma wouldn’t be free. Why will the young generation of Black Claws officials get bullied? But Sorren paused those thoughts.

"Who?"

Dylan smirked internally. "Lady Cara. She even insulted Green Valleys Princess and the Princess is now livid."

Laurel? Sorren tilted his head. He didn’t think Cara was capable of getting under the Princess skin so much that she’d be labelled livid.

"What did my brother do about this case with Green Valleys?" he further asked.

Dylan looked up, thinking. "I guess he tried to help but it ended in a misunderstanding. He wanted Lady Cara to be coached by the Princess as punishment but the Princess refused, saying she had better use of her time."

That was definitely like Laurel. Sorren thought. If that was her reason, they she might not be as livid as they think.

"How did Cara bully you? Didn’t she get busy with her chores immediately?" he stood up, going to the table that had undone notices.

Dylan faced him. The Lady’s duties were hiring maids into the palace, from Green Valleys, but with the ruined relationship, that had been hard to achieve.

"Not even a single maid works in the palace, sir. The warriors of Green Valleys just multitask—"

Sorren snapped his head to Dylan. The warriors of Green Valleys were multitasking? Cara has proved her worth.

"Isn’t two days enough to hire the desperate young werewolfesses to work in the palace? Next, you’d tell me Sigma cleans his quarters by himself."

Dylan raised a finger. "He tries to—"

Sorren slapped the table, rubbing his temples. That lady said she wanted to be useful so he gave her a bare minimum duty, yet she did nothing.

All she needed was the notice to go to leave High Mountains, wasn’t it? He began scribbling a notice. He’d bring her back.

Dylan was pleased that the Prince was already furious with the lady, without hearing how she hit Sigma. He decided to smoothen the cake.

"Currently, I’m on special punishment to stay by Lead Warrior Baxter’s side all the time." Dylan spoke with a teary voice.

"I’m really sorry for you." Sorren smirked.

The warrior frowned a little when the Prince didn’t ask him why he was punished, he continued. "I accidentally stabbed Beta Cade, that’s why I got punished."

Sorren paused, then continued scribbling. "I hope he screamed." He stopped writing, rereading what he wrote.

Again, Dylan didn’t hear him ask why.

"I was trying to get to Lady Cara though, but the Beta protected her." This time, he noticed the Prince stop. He wondered if he’d ask why now.

"So Cade is a good brother." Sorren exhaled. "My brother discarded me in a desolate land to rebuild."

Dylan was nearly fed up. Why didn’t he ask why? And how could he stabbing Beta Cade and nearly stabbing Lady Cara not bother him at all?

"But Prince Sorren, don’t you want to know—"

"Why you did it?" Sorren finished, then smirked. "Well, it’s probably why you got punished, so you deserved it, no?"

"I wasn’t in the wrong... first." Dylan’s shoulder’s fell.

The Prince left where he sat moving outside. "Is that so?"

"Yes." Dylan tried to leave the ground, even if his stomach was too heavy to move. "Actually, Lady Cara had slapped Sigma on his face. She claimed she didn’t know he—"

The air around Dylan instantly chilly, making him look up.

He found the Prince staring wide-eyed at him, there was a curious expression on the Prince’s face.

"She hit Sigma here?" Sorren pointed his face.

Dylan nodded. "Across the face."

"So what did you do?" Sorren intertwined his fingers together, like he was trying to keep his control.

"I unsheathed my sword to strike her, but that was wrong and I got punished."

"But you did strike her, right?" Sorren peered into his soul from his eyes.

Dylan shook his head. "That’s when the Beta blocked and I hit him instead. The Alpha punished me for it."

Sorren calmly walked back to his seat, tearing apart the notice he wrote before. "Cade didn’t let you, huh?"

Dylan nodded. "I couldn’t avenge Sigma. Or myself."

Sorren nodded slowly, "Don’t worry, I’d avenge you."
