"The shard?" Darius murmured as he remembered how there were dead shards that remained in the possession of the other Kings. Even if Lord Baldwin told them that those shards were basically not usable as a source of power due to the lack of living hosts, Aldous warned him not to get near any of those.
No wonder these guys think he had them. Perhaps it could only be used by him, and there was no way that Audrey would know about them if he never told anyone. He was the successor of the Abyssal King, not Audrey. Of course, those generals were serving him.
Sadly, that was not far from the truth. Those generals were indeed serving him, but in ways that Darius couldn't tell. They continued to support his enemy, despite the loud sounds of their allegiance to him. At this moment, Nicholai moved behind him as if ready to protect his mate from everything.
