Kayden's POV
He threw me a serious look, probably angry that I'd suddenly dragged him all the way out here, but I ignored it, completely unperturbed. "I finally know who's responsible for poisoning your drink," I revealed, and his eyes instantly went wide with shock.
"Really? Who? How?" he questioned, the confusion clear on his face.
"Yes, it was none other than my 'dar...ling' mate, Margallo. The witch you've forbidden me from rejecting," I said, putting a lot of stress on the word, darling.
"But how? How is that even possible? Why would Margallo want to poison me? Who told you this?" he questioned, and I nearly glared at him.
"Why are you speaking as if you're above being harmed? I guess she might actually have a problem with you despite how much you've been going against your own brother and supporting her. The fact is that she tried to kill you, and you're lucky Evelyn was brave enough to risk her life and save you, or you'd be dead by now. And do you really want to know who told me this? Well, Evelyn did. She told me herself after giving birth to our little angel, and she passed out immediately after," I explained, and the look of shock and confusion in his eyes changed to something I couldn't quite place.
"Why would you believe anything she tells you in that condition? Evelyn has just given birth; her body and mind have been placed under so much stress, so of course she might have not been thinking properly," Richard said, completely taking me by surprise.
"So are you saying that Evelyn lied about Margallo being responsible?" I questioned, my anger flaring up at my brother's strange behavior. Something is certainly going on here, I've ignored it for way too long, but not anymore.
