"I didn't cheat on the king!" Darren replied immediately as he dropped to his knees.
Before anyone could react, Finn rushed forward and helped him back to his feet.
"Your Majesty, please believe me," Darren pleaded desperately, his voice trembling. "We both slept together that night....the night you drank too much wine. It was after your argument with Consort Finn. You were upset, and I was the one who attended to you that night."
Had an argument with Consort Finn? Drank too much and slept with him?
Orion stared at Darren in disbelief.
What kind of ridiculous nonsense is this? Why is he lying right in front of my face?
His expression darkened, though he remained silent.
"How dare you continue lying in front of His Majesty!" Kaelith suddenly roared.
Without warning, he strode forward and drove a brutal kick into Romeo's stomach.
"Argh!"
Romeo cried out in pain as he collapsed onto the floor, clutching his abdomen.
Kaelith pointed accusingly at him.
