Killian knew what decision Dacre made the moment he stepped into this cell. He could see it in his eyes that he gave up on him. The odd was not on his favor. The king needed his queen and she was currently pregnant. The baby was all he wanted, an heir to solidify his position.
It didn’t take a genius to know that. Killian knew it would end like this the moment he was exposed. It was stupid and reckless in his part and if he could turn back time, he was going to do it differently. His anger and jealousy were not good companion.
He made a reckless decision and he couldn’t salvage his predicament, but at least, he could save him. Him. He cared about him. Truly. Killian didn’t know when it started...
"What do you mean?" Dacre asked, he narrowed his eyes dangerously at Killian. The mention of Khaos’s name alerted him.
"Your life is in danger. Khaos wanted to raze this kingdom. It’s his plan all along," Killian said, no matter what path he chose, he was going to end up dead. Therefore, he was going to do whatever he wanted and the only thing he wanted was to protect him, alert him of the danger that would come his way.
"I know it... I know it..." Dacre mumbled to himself. It didn’t go unnoticed that Killian called Khaos by his name only without his title, as if he had dropped all the formality. "He is too good to be my only advisor. I know that he aimed for the throne..."
"No." Killian shook his head. "He didn’t aim for the throne. His aspiration is grandeur than that."
Dacre shifted his attention toward Killian again. He didn’t understand. "If it’s not the kingdom, what he actually wanted?"
"He aimed for this continent. He wanted the whole continent," Killian replied, he watched Dacre shook his head.
"That’s not possible." Dacre laughed dryly. "Are you trying to fool me?" He really despised this. Why would Killian resorted to something ridiculous in his last moment.
"Why not?" Killian raised his chin. He was shackled to the wall with silver chain. He was not beaten, he was not starved, he was treated very well for someone, whose reason to be here was because he fucked the queen. "Tell me why do you think it’s not possible?"
"Can you hear what you said? He can barely defend our kingdom in Three Deadly Ways, do you think he can conquer the three kingdoms?" Dacre scoffed, he didn’t even hold back when he show his disappointment.
However, Killian laughed instead. The only wound on his body was on his wrists and ankles. "You know nothing, don’t you."
Dacre said nothing, he waited for Killian’s explanation, because he knew there was something big that he was not aware of and Killian was going to tell him. Whether he would believe it or not, he was going to think about it later.
"These whole kingdoms belonged to him. The continent it’s his birthright."
"Nonsense."
