Rhett lifted his brows, but he didn’t look surprised, instead he smirked. “So, you do know about the lycan three legacies? Who are you?”

“There is still no word from Silas,” Leonard informed the king, as they walked through the same garden to reach the queen’s palace. “Our people last saw him only a few hours before alpha Khaos, somehow, managed to make Rhett opened the gates.”
Dacre listened to that carefully. He knew Khaos, he must have something under his sleeves to make Rhett opened the gates and Silas’s disappearance must have anything to do with him.
He had witnessed how Khaos handled thing and if he was being honest, his wicked side was terrifying, since he was the mastermind behind all of Dacre’s decision as the king.
However, thing would change now. Khaos held so much power, it threatened Dacre’s position, if he couldn’t have any leverage on him, he would be doomed, if one day khaos decided to betray him.
It was hard to believe that someone like him would be satisfied to work behind the shadow and didn’t have his own hidden agenda.
But for now, Dacre still couldn’t figure it out why Khaos was willing to support him all this time.
Dacre thought about his next move for a while and then issued an order. “Send Red Beast to get him.” He then added. “If they are caught, they are required to end their life.”
Red Beast was the best warrior under the king’s order, a group of selected warriors, whom even Khaos couldn’t control, since they only answered to the king.
“I think alpha Khaos will know that it was the Red Beast.” Leonard was on point, but Dacre had thought about it.
“He couldn’t pin the blame on me, if he didn’t have any prove.”
After that, the king went ahead to meet with his beloved queen. He needed to patiently wait for the result of that night, whether or not Nycta would bear the child. He hoped, it worked out, since he didn’t like someone else touched what was his.
In front of the door, Nycta had been waiting for him, she looked beautiful in her purple dress, staring at him sheepishly. From the look of it, she had accepted their ‘unique’ relationship.
“How are you, my love?” Dacre kissed Nycta’s cheek and she blushed. His young queen looked cheerful today. She kissed him back and they walked together.
“My king, is it possible for my sister to come and visit me? I missed her.”
Dacre put his hand on her waist and pulled her closer. “Of course, you don’t need my permission to invite your sister. You are the queen of this kingdom, aren’t you?”
“Thank you!”

“I am the one, who asked question here,” Khaos said, he unlocked the cell and let it opened when he stepped inside. “Tell me everything about Beauty Blood. What do you know about
it?”
Rhett stood up. He glanced at the opened door, but he didn’t make any attempt to run away, since it would be a waste of energy. He wouldn’t be able to escape this alpha.
“You asked me because you couldn’t get anything from Lucas?” He knew the answer, because of the seal, the informant was unable to utter a single word about this confidential information.
Khaos didn’t respond to that, he stared at him intently, as if he was assessing him.
“What can I get from it?”
“You want the alpha title?”
“The king is the one, who can confer the title to me.”
Khaos chuckled when he heard that. “If you have an informant buried deep in the black
market, I think you know the answer for that stupid statement.”
Rhett did know. Khaos was actually the one, who ran the court. Dacre was essentially a puppet
monarch without him knowing it.
“Fine. I want the title.” Rhett nodded.
“Speak.”
“The lycan three legacies.” Rhett started. “While the other two are something that you can obtain, the golden stamp and the feather of the phoenix, beauty blood is something that you have to nurture.” Rhett eyed Khaos curiously.
The golden stamp, the feather of the phoenix and beauty blood.
It took Khaos nine years to obtain the feather of the phoenix and finally tracked down the golden stamp, but beauty blood was entirely different thing, he didn’t have enough information about it because the scriptures that contain about its information had been disappeared for decades.
After the fallen of the lycan dynasty, those people who betrayed the lycan had ransacked the place and their main goal was, obviously, the lycan three legacies, since it held power that you have never imagined before.
If you obtained those three, you would be the most powerful shifter in this entire realm. You would rule the world.
Such power was very tempting, especially those who were power hunger.
However, such power was a myth, since only a the lycan king, who was privileged enough to know about the information and once the last lycan king died, they could only learn about it from hearsay and whatever the dynasty left behind.
Therefore, for Rhett to know about beauty blood… there must be a lot of things that Khaos had to dig out from him.
“The scriptures.” Khaos narrowed his eyes. “You have it.” His voice darkened. His eyes pierced through his soul. He didn’t even question him, as it was a statement, because Rhett wouldn’t know anything about beauty blood unless he read the scriptures.
“I have answered your question, but you have not yet answered mine,” Rhett stood up, he straightened his spine, but he didn’t try to get close to Khaos, despite that, he held his gaze. “Who are you? Why are you interested in the matter related to the lycan?” He scrutinized the alpha before him, as if by doing so, he could get the answer he wanted.
For a moment, there was silence between them. The tension was very palpable. You could hear the howling wind in the corridor.
“Where are the scriptures?”
Rhett chuckled. “I am not going to tell you, if you are being difficult like this.”
And just like usual, Khaos was not used to indulge his opponent with their demand. “I will get the answer in one way or another. It will be less messy if you speak now.”
Rhett shook his head. “Do you even know about give and take, you can’t take and take without giving anything in return.”

“I don’t play by that rule.”
It was not sure what crossed Rhett’s mind when he suddenly shifted into his beast. He knew it was a fatal action that could lead him to his death, but his knowledge about the map was his leverage, he would be alive, at least until he spilled the information about the scriptures.
