Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge-Chapter 241 Confirming His Identity
Cedric fixed his coat while sneering at Kira. He was maintaining his cool as he didn't want to engage in a fight. He knew how powerful Kira was. As much as possible, he wanted to avoid fighting him. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ
He was very cautious of Kira. What if he was indeed the former Vampire King who defeated Dominique and the entire Werewolf Clan? He wasn't stupid to challenge him and be killed by him.
"The truth is… I'm here to confirm something. Are you the former Vampire King?" Cedric straightforwardly asked Kira.
Kira's brows were drawn together, a cold glint flashing through his eyes. He already anticipated that Dominique would ask someone to investigate his real identity.
However, he didn't expect that Cedric would be direct and frank, asking him this question instead of investigating discreetly. 'Is he expecting me to tell him the truth, making things easier for him?'
"Who made you think that I am the former Vampire King? Heh, what a great honor for me, "Kira sneered at him, trying to provoke and at the same time, test him.
Cedric blinked at him uncomprehendingly as if he was staring at a puzzle. He couldn't figure out if Kira was just playing him with a guessing game.
"If you are the former Vampire King, I have a proposition for you. I will not tell this to our Alpha King but on one condition, you have to form an alliance with me." Cedric offered him a deal.
"You are kidding me. I'm not dumb. Why should I join you? Vampire King or not, I have no interest in your power struggling. If you want his throne then do it by yourself. Don't include me in your evil scheme of betraying your King." Kira nonchalantly said as he opened the bottle of wine which he had just picked from the wine cellar.
Cedric didn't stop convincing him. "I'm not betraying my King. I am just striving to become a better King. Don't you want to grab this opportunity? I can be a good Werewolf King towards Vampires. I will treat you and your clan well."
Kira let out a sarcastic laugh when he heard that.
"A good Werewolf King towards Vampires my Ass! I have just heard the most ridiculous joke in my entire vampire life." Kira mocked him, not believing any word Cedric said.
Cedric crumpled his face. He was losing his patience. He felt like he was just wasting his time talking to Kira. He was not the type of vampire who would make alliances with werewolves like him.
"I hope you will not regret this. You don't take my words seriously. I am true to my proposal. But you just rejected it."
"Hmm. Are you asking me this just because you think that I am the former Vampire King and you can use me to reach your goal of becoming Werewolf King? Do you want me to defeat Dominique for your gain?"
Kira poured the wine into his glass. Then he took a sip, waiting for Cedric's response. He was assessing Cedric's expression. He knew that this cunning man was only thinking of the benefits he could get out of this deal.
This time Cedric's lips curled up into a confident smile. "I don't need to defeat Dominique to be a Werewolf King. I can just marry his princess."
Kira frowned when he heard that. 'Does it mean they already found the missing werewolf princess?' He was aware that Dylan was looking for his missing sister. But he didn't expect that they finally found her.
"Whoa. Congratulations. But do you think that marrying her is enough to secure your position and become a Werewolf King?" Kira was provoking Cedric, trying to find out if he still had something up his sleeve. freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"We will see… There is no other heir aside from her." Cedric said confidently.
Kira just smiled inwardly. He could tell that Cedric still had no idea that Dylan, the werewolf prince, was alive. There would be competition between them. If Cedric would marry the werewolf princess then Dominique would either pass his throne to Dylan, or to the husband of his daughter.
With this, Kira could already see that Cedric would make another move in eliminating Dylan. According to his assessment, Cedric was more cunning and evil than Dylan.
Kira shook his head as he suddenly thought of Dylan and the possibility of Cedric using Dylan's weakness. As of now, Lyca, Marceline's friend, was close to Dylan. She might be in danger once Cedric found out about Dylan's relationship with her.
'I should warn Marceline about this. I know she will not allow anyone to hurt her best friend.' Kira made a mental note.
"Now, I will ask you one last time. Are you the Vampire King? Do you want to form an alliance with me?" Cedric was looking straight into his eyes, anticipating his response.
"Don't worry, I will keep your secret. Dominique will not know your real identity," Cedric added, reassuring Kira.
Kira's eyes gleamed, smirking at him. He liked playing this guessing game with Cedric. Of course, he would never admit it to him.
"Why don't you find it out yourself? Let's see how capable you are. I think Dominique has high hopes when it comes to you. So prove it." Kira muttered, raising his wine glass before finishing it in one gulp. He didn't even offer Cedric a drink.
Cedric ground his teeth. He didn't get anything from him. Kira was so stubborn. He had no plan of voluntarily revealing his identity to Cedric. In the end, Cedric left the mansion before Kira kicked him out by himself.
But after talking to Kira, he realized that Kira was not afraid of him nor Dominique. He was confident in his own ability and power.
'I think… There is a big possibility that this guy is the former Vampire King. He defeated me… and he has this overbearing aura.'
Cedric wiped his sweat upon leaving the mansion. He didn't want to admit it but he was very tense and anxious a while ago while talking to Kira. He was frightening and very intimidating. Thinking that he might be the former Vampire King, Cedric began to fear him.
Meanwhile, Kira had decided to leave the mansion. Thanks to Cedric, he gained information about the werewolf princess. He assumed Dominique and Serena were busy with their daughter right now.
