Chapter 201

(Eden’s Pov)

“Do you really think something is going on with Arthur?” Beauty Trowned “I just can’t imagine it. Arthur has always been cautious. But what do you suggest we should do?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know. I’m still trying to figure out what went wrong. I just think his attitude has changed a lot in the past few weeks.”

Beauty snapped her fingers “Maybe it’s just pack business. You said Eros has also been acting distant. It could be something related to succeeding the throne, and it must be taking their time”

I wasn’t sure what to believe, but I didn’t voice out my confusion again.

I was suddenly reminded of Nova.

If Nova was here, she would have had an answer to things like this. She was always the type to have a ready solution to every problem.

But Nova was dead. Beauty was the only one left to comfort me, but I didn’t deserve the comfort. Nova’s death was my fault.

If only she didn’t try to protect me, she would still be alive.

Anger surged in me as I thought about how she was murdered. It was something I would never forgive Alice. She was supposed to be my friend too.

“What about Tom?” I asked Adonis.

Ever since I was told of his capture, I refused to go see him. I feared that Tiara would lose control and attack him.

Beauty and Adonis exchanged a nervous glance, the kind that looked unsettling. Beauty clasped her hands together and looked away just as Adonis sighed, and his shoulders droped in a resigned manner.

“He’s dead.” Adonis announced.

“What? How?” My eyes widened. It was hard to process what he just said, “What happened?”

Adonis hung his head in guilt. “We should have told you earlier. I’m sorry. We never intended to keep it a secret; it’s just that things have been happening so fast we could hardly keep track of it. First with Alice and Tom, now with you and Eros. We thought it could wait.”

“Wait?” I barked. My voice sounded harsher than I intended. “You thought it was wise to wait before you told me that the vampire who killed Nova and tried to kill me is dead?”

I scoffed. Tiara was not pleased.

Adonis winced. “I can see now that it wasn’t the best decision. We should have told you as soon as it happened.”

I looked away, still a little angry that this information didn’t reach me earlier. “How did he die?”

Adonis exchanged another look with Beauty, who was silent. She nodded slightly before Adonis started to talk.

“It happened while we were away. Beauty and I left the house while Arthur was in charge of watching over Tom. We needed some supplies, and we had to get them. But when we came back. “Adonis trailed off.

I looked at him. His eyes were locked on a spot on the wall as he recalled what had happened. When he continued, his voice hardened.

“We found Arthur beside a lifeless Tom; he was covered in cuts and blood.” Adonis sighed.

“Arthur?” I had a bad feeling about this already. “What happence?”

Adonis took a while before he continued. “Arthur told us that he brought Tom his meal as usual, but Tom had attacked him instead. In defense, he fought back and killed Tom.”

I felt a twist in my stomach as I digested Adonis words.

“That doesn’t seem to make much sense. Tom attacked Arthur?. I mean, he was locked up for weeks and was barely given enough food; besides, Tom would need blood to be strong enough to attack Arthur. Did you feed him blood?”

Adonis shook his head. “No.”

“So how did he have that kind of strength?” I asked.
