The ride to the seaside castle was quiet. Cedric has been silent the entire time. Abrielle thought he was thinking about the war and Kaiden's conditions.
She was also thrown into her thoughts. Why did Kaiden suddenly fall sick?
"What do you think will make a father hate his child?" Cedric's calm voice asked and her heart squeezed.
"Did your father send you to the border?" She asked Cedric. They knew Kaiden was going to send Cedric to the border once the war broke out but they didn't know about Kaiden's health condition.
That changed things a lot. "I will leave by dawn. You will still be asleep then." He answered and she grabbed his hand. She didn't know what to say to him.
Maybe some sweet words that she would wait for him. She could not answer his question either. Why did Kaiden hate Cedric? It was something even Cedric knew.
