Cyneah was somewhat speechless. She could feel Kyran's annoyance from the sound of his voice. This surprised her because he had not reacted strongly when he learned about the pact.
Cyneah did not know that Kyran first heard about the situation from Dusk. By the time it was revealed, his annoyance had already subsided.
On the other hand, Euan felt wronged. Had he not emphasized his inability to protect Cyneah enough, to the point he had to resort to underhanded tricks such as using potions to influence another person? Why was Kyran looking at him with such contempt?
In the first place, Euan was Cyneah's biological father; if Kyran was interested in her, should he not show ample respect to win his favor?
Was this how future son-in-laws acted in front of their future father-in-law nowadays?
