"I rejected him right away."
Cole snorted annoyingly as he relayed all the things he and the prince talked about to Liam and the team. Even when Leon and Gideon went with him to meet the prince, he never told them what transpired during their conversation. Only the fact that he was annoyed at the prince's arrogance.
"He said he wanted me to work under him. Me and the whole shadow knight's army." Cole furthered.
"Work under him? Not as one of the palace guards?" Liam caressed his jaw with his fingers.
"Yes, I believe I heard him right. I even asked twice because I thought I heard him wrong but he really mean it."
"Something isn't right." Gideon butted in. "The fact that he met with you in private and tried to recruit the whole shadow knights doesn't make sense. Is he possibly preparing for war?"
"And why you and not Liam?" Leon also voiced his qualms.
Liam was in deep thought while his men shared their own say towards each other.
