Chapter 781 No one wants to stare at Truth because it was naked


    "ude!"


    us and Silvia immediately rushed to the sitting room next to where they were the moment they smelled ude''s blood. Their dted eyes searched the room and instantly caught ude and Cassara inside. us''s eyes fell on ude''s hand, catching red fluid on thetter''s small palm. Cassara was holding up ude''s wrist while the other held a small knife.


    "You!" Fire shone in us''s eyes as she stormed inside. "What do you think you''re doing to him?"


    "us!" Silvia jumped in the middle before her brother could even reach Cassara. She nted her hand on his chest, shaking her head mildly. "Calm down, us."


    "Calm down?" us scoffed, keeping his unblinking eyes between his nephew and his sister. "It''s clear she nned to hurt him. I''m not going to let it slide."


    "I didn''t!" Cassara aggressively let the little ude go, huffing just as angrily. "If I wanted to harm him, this knife would''ve gone through his throat and not his little palm."


    "You –!"


    "us!" Silvia perked up when us took a step. "Please, us. I know you care a lot for ude, but Cassara is still one of the king''s concubines."


    us ground his teeth, ring at Cassara, before gazing down at Silvia. The moment his eyes met with Silvia, she shook her head, her lips drawn into a thin sh. "ude,e here," he huffed, waving a hand. ude looked back at Cassara before he hurriedly went to us''s side, hiding behind his uncle. "What a vile child," Cassara spat out, seeing ude peek his head out behind us. "Is this really what you want, you cursed child?"


    "Cassara!" us''s voice thundered, barely holding himself back, knowing he couldn''t get his emotions to get the better of him. Silvia had a point. Cassara was still the king''s concubine, and one way or another, she still holds power no matter how little it may be. If she used that little power she had, it would definitely be a troublesome situation for us. And dealing with anything bothersome that could divert us from his mission was not worth everyone''s lives.


    "What?" Cassara scoffed as she raised her shaking eyes at us. "Isn''t that true, us? This child… is the product of Lucia''s greed and selfishness. He is the proof of his mother''s vile nature, and I am not surprised why this child is so rotten at such a young age. After all, because he exists, Rottie has to die —"


    SLAP!


    Cassara''s breath hitched as her face was tossed to the side. Her cheek instantly swelled from that resounding p she received from Silvia. "A person''s sin isn''t their child to carry, Cassara. Neither of their deaths had got to do with this child as well. They… were executed by Stefan, whom this child was forced to call Father. Do not forget this undeniable fact." Silvia''s voice was firm, staring at Cassara as thetter looked back at her with her hand on her cheek. "Did youe here with an intention of harming an innocent child?"


    "Why, Cassara?" she continued incredulously. "I am aware of your fondness for Hell and Dyrroth, and your jealousy of the amount of attention Lucia was getting from everyone. However, Dyrroth was dead, and Hell? He wouldn''t even bat an eye on you. If you''re going to be angry, be angry at Dyrroth for dying and to Hell. Do not unload your frustrations on this child." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Cassaraughed dryly, peeling her hand from her slightly swollen cheek. Her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn''t find her voice for a moment. All she could do was dart her eyes between Silvia and us, who were looking back at her angrily. "I came here…" her voice was shaking from anger and indignation. "... to y with him. But why do I need to exin myself, right? No one ever believes me."


    Cassara stumbled a step back. "It''s a waste of time to even continue this when you are these pathetic hypocrites. This cursed blood that is running in my veins and in yours, Silvia, us… and this family… I loathed it to the very deep of my bones."


    "How I wish I was not born as a La Crox and had never met such a crude family." She shook her head. "You fear the day I turn mad because of my ability, but unlike you all, I am far more sane. All I''ve done and everything I had said, I was being true to myself. I was bad when I want to be bad no matter how shallow the reason was, and I was good when I meant to be good. I don''t lie, I don''t pretend, and that is how I am; I''m not a hypocrite."


    "I hate everyone and their inability to ept the truth. You only listen to the things you want to hear, and turn a blind eye even when the naked truth was standing before you," she continued sarcastically, tossing the knife away, whichnded with a ng. "Your unwillingness will be your own downfall, and I''ll make sure to be there and watch it with joy."


    Cassara let out a dryugh, darting her eyes between Silvia and us. Her eyes fell on ude, making the little prince hide slightly behind his uncle.


    "If I were you, never step foot in the Avolire Pce again or show up in front of me. I hold grudges and will never forget what you''ve done today," she threatened before she walked away without looking back at the three. Meanwhile, us and Silvia remained silent for a moment. When they raised their heads, they looked back at the open door, but Cassara already left. "That girl…" us snapped his tongue in irritation. "... won''t she ever mature?"


    "us, I think you should tend to ude''s wound first." Silvia nced down at ude before lifting her gaze back to her brother. "Don''t let him near the Avolire Pce or the inner pce for now. Cassara had to cool down first."


    "Tch." us shook his head as he bent down on one knee, taking out a handkerchief, which he wrapped around ude''s hand. After tying a small knot, he raised his eyes to ude. "Everything she said or calls you… remember that''s not you." He raised a hand and ruffled ude''s head. "You''re good. I won''t bring you here next time."


    ude pursed his lips and nodded as a response, making us smile subtly. When us slowly rose to his feet, ude nced up at Silvia, only to see thetter observing him quietly. "You''re right, Silvia. It''s wrong to bring my nephew in this ce when clearly, the people in here only wish to hurt him," us remarked with a tinge of sarcasm. "We had a pleasant conversation, but I have to excuse myself first."


    Silvia nodded. "Take care on your way."


    With that being said, us bent down to carry ude in his arms. He cast Silvia another look before he marched away. Meanwhile, Silvia kept her eyes on ude, watching the little boy look back at her over us'' shoulder.


    Unlike how ude looked so innocent and harmless in front of us, his eyes sharpened the longer he held Silvia''s eyes. Seeing this transition, Silvia furrowed her brows and narrowed her eyes. "Did Cassara…" she whispered as soon as us was out of her sight. "... really hurt him?"
