The dining room seemed very quiet, especially when the tension that surrounded the dining table was very strong.
Even the sumptuous, luxurious meal in front of them, couldn't prevent them from loss of appetite.
The food on the table was like necessity which gave them a reason to move and do something so the atmosphere didn't feel too awkward.
Well, Jedrek and Serefina did it flawlessly. Lilac could see how they both complement each other.
Serefina cut her meat with such perfection and looked so elegant, so did Jedrek while Lilac, who couldn't eat meat, stared at a bowl of vegetables in front of her and felt she wouldn't be able to eat all of these veggies with the same manner like the witch.
Actually, this was a trivial thing, yet Lilac was upset. She stabbed her innocent veggie and ate it silently. However, when the stillness was almost unbearable, Lilac spoke.
"Serefina, you said Kace has a condition for Jedrek, what is it?" Lilac looked at Serefina, who was sitting across the table.
Serefina put down her cutleries with a soft clink and wiped her lips, she raised her head and started to speak. "Right. Kace has one condition before he is willing to bring his people to join force in this war."
"He doesn't have people." Jedrek cut Serefina's sentence.
"Yes, but apparently, he knows many people, or shifters, who are willing to listen to him," Serefina said, but her eyes were on Lilac. "Such as centaurs."
"Centaurs?" Jedrek raised her brows. "They are extinct."
"No, they are still exist. I saw them before I came here." This time, Serefina shifted her attention toward Jedrek. "This is the condition that Kace wants."
Jedrek narrowed his eyes and didn't look very happy to hear whatever Serefina was about to say.
"Kace wants you to give back their land." Serefina took her cup and sipped her drink.
"If I refused?" Jedrek didn't want to give the centaur's land to them again.
Just like the guardian angel, the centaurs also had been assumed extinct for decades. The reason why Jedrek attacked their territory was because Janus needed more power, he was so insane at that time, but too good at pretending that he was not, and unfortunately Jedrek didn't have the courage to challenge him yet.
But, that was not the important thing. The fact that Jedrek was the one who had slaughtered their kind was undeniable and he knew how incredibly clever the centaurs were at making long- term plans.
Serefina shrugged her shoulder. "Kace doesn't want to take part in this war."
"He thought he could escape? When we lost the war, there would be no safe place for him," Jedrek spoke grimly.
"Apparently, he doesn't care much about that." Serefina started to cut her meat again. "Especially when he had been trying to escape from a certain someone who wanted to kill his mate." The witch bit her meat casually, as though she didn't say something that could possibly incur the certain someone's wrath.
Jedrek stared at Serefina hard, yet she ignored him completely.
The witch was upset. If she didn't want to look at the person in the eyes, she was pretending to be fine with the situation while hiding her annoyance. Jedrek knew about that and some part of him was glad that she hadn't changed as much as he thought. He still knew her.
"How Kace knew them?" If the centaurs met his younger brother, they should have killed him in the first chance given, but why they didn't do that? Even though, it was not Kace who issued an order to execute them, but their village was raided under Kace's attack.
"The centaurs have lived somewhere in the northern coven realm," Serefina replied. "Kace went there to heal his wounds that were given by Maximus," she glanced at Jedrek and smirk mockingly. "Thanks to you."
"Wounds? What kind of wounds that was given by Maximus?" Lilac, who had been silence during the conversation, talked with curiosity. Was that the same wounds that Maximus gave to Jedrek too?
"A curse. Black magic. I had never seen that before." Serefina shrugged her shoulder and continued to eat.
"How is he now? Does he still have that wound?" Lilac was sure, it was the same wound that Jedrek had when he fought him.
"No, he has healed," Serefina replied.
"Jedrek…" Lilac was about to tell Serefina that Jedrek also suffered the same wound, probably she could see and tell them whether it was the same wound or not, but Jedrek grabbed her hand under the table and gave it squeeze as a warning.
"What?" Serefina looked at Lilac suspiciously because she didn't finish her sentence.
"So, Kace wanted me to give back the centaur's territory to them?" Jedrek narrowed his eyes. He didn't like the idea to have the crafty creatures such as centaurs in his lands.
It would be safe to say that they had a hidden agenda for returning. The centaurs were not naïve and they held their grudge really well.
Jedrek didn't believe them. After what he had done to them and all they asked was for him to give back their land? How noble they were…
"Yes." Serefina nodded. "That's what Kace's condition."
Jedrek shifted his attention at Lilac, who was stabbing her veggies absentmindedly. "What do you think?"
"Huh?" Lilac raised her head and cleared her throat to give her some time to think. "Well, like I said, we need as much people as we can find." She felt stupid for being caught brooding.
"Alright then, I will let you decide for this matter." Jedrek spoke as he pushed his chair and stood up. "I have to go now." Afterward, Jedrek leaned over and kissed Lilac's temple and walked away.
That act was not only surprised Lilac, but Serefina too. Out of instinct, she averted her gaze until Jedrek was no longer inside the room and it was only the two of them before she spoke to Lilac callously.
