The Clown understood that only the truth could save him now. He maintained eye contact as he spoke. "It is because you are weak, my Lord."
That wasn't what Kyrexiel was expecting, he raised his brows. "Explain yourself."
"You were weak and it was better you were dead," Kagerou pressed his sword deeper. "We are Rashaka! We follow only strength and...the Hydraeus haven't been showing a lot of it lately."
"You are my mother's retainer."
"Yes and I serves her interest. You would only continue to sabotage her interest. You killed a family. I support Cormac in that but I didn't know he intends to take it that far."
Kyrexiel's gestured for them to release him. Kagerou's sword left him the longest. "And now?"
"And now what my Lord?"
"Who will you serve now that my mother is ill?"
"I will continue to serve her interest till she wakes."
