Chapter 87 No

• Rasmus didn’t leave when Edward told him to. He knew Aliyah was safe back in the castle and so he lingered around and watched the fight. He had refused to take the bark from his father when he had given it to him this afternoon and had only promised to bring the prince out of the palace and in return, he would never acknowledge his father again. Bringing Edward out of the palace was the last respect he told himself he would to pay his parents and seeing how the prince was doing well on his own, he was happy he made that decision and also glad that Edward has forgiven him.
• Even if Edward hadn’t pointed him out, he had every intention of telling him the truth and asking for his forgiveness before the fight started and he had wanted to fight alongside him but he never expected the man to chase him out of the fight. He had been secretly watching the fight and rejoicing at Edward’s obvious victory until he heard a voice like Irene’s. He was still wondering what Irene could be doing there until he saw Genevieve sprinting out of the fight and Edward following her.
• What happened next seemed like a slow motion to him. His father had followed Edward immediately and he had seen him pull out the bark from his coat. He knew then he had to do something but he was still running out into the meadow when Edward turned and his father was impaling him. He saw the look of betrayal on the prince’s face and he knew why he should feel that way. All through the fight, he had noticed that Edward was going easy on his father. He would deliver killer blows on other high chiefs and night howlers but whenever it was his father, all he would do is kick him away or flung him away, no serious damage was ever thrown his way and he knew why. Despite having betrayed him by luring him out, the prince was honoring his favor by not killing his father and now, he did this.
