"Claude!"
Klaus and Silvia immediately rushed to the sitting room next to where they were the moment they smelled Claude's blood. Their dilated eyes searched the room and instantly caught Claude and Cassara inside. Klaus's eyes fell on Claude's hand, catching red fluid on the latter's small palm. Cassara was holding up Claude's wrist while the other held a small knife.
"You!" Fire shone in Klaus's eyes as she stormed inside. "What do you think you're doing to him?"
"Klaus!" Silvia jumped in the middle before her brother could even reach Cassara. She planted her hand on his chest, shaking her head mildly. "Calm down, Klaus."
"Calm down?" Klaus scoffed, keeping his unblinking eyes between his nephew and his sister. "It's clear she planned to hurt him. I'm not going to let it slide."
"I didn't!" Cassara aggressively let the little Claude go, huffing just as angrily. "If I wanted to harm him, this knife would've gone through his throat and not his little palm."
"You –!"
"Klaus!" Silvia perked up when Klaus took a step. "Please, Klaus. I know you care a lot for Claude, but Cassara is still one of the king's concubines." Updated chapters at novelhall.com
Cassara let out a dry laugh, darting her eyes between Silvia and Klaus. Her eyes fell on Claude, making the little prince hide slightly behind his uncle.
"If I were you, never step foot in the Avolire Palace again or show up in front of me. I hold grudges and will never forget what you've done today," she threatened before she walked away without looking back at the three. Meanwhile, Klaus and Silvia remained silent for a moment. When they raised their heads, they looked back at the open door, but Cassara already left. "That girl..." Klaus snapped his tongue in irritation. "... won't she ever mature?"
"Klaus, I think you should tend to Claude's wound first." Silvia glanced down at Claude before lifting her gaze back to her brother. "Don't let him near the Avolire Palace or the inner palace for now. Cassara had to cool down first."
"Tch." Klaus shook his head as he bent down on one knee, taking out a handkerchief, which he wrapped around Claude's hand. After tying a small knot, he raised his eyes to Claude. "Everything she said or calls you... remember that's not you." He raised a hand and ruffled Claude's head. "You're good. I won't bring you here next time."
Claude pursed his lips and nodded as a response, making Klaus smile subtly. When Klaus slowly rose to his feet, Claude glanced up at Silvia, only to see the latter observing him quietly. "You're right, Silvia. It's wrong to bring my nephew in this place when clearly, the people in here only wish to hurt him," Klaus remarked with a tinge of sarcasm. "We had a pleasant conversation, but I have to excuse myself first."
Silvia nodded. "Take care on your way."
With that being said, Klaus bent down to carry Claude in his arms. He cast Silvia another look before he marched away. Meanwhile, Silvia kept her eyes on Claude, watching the little boy look back at her over Klaus' shoulder.
Unlike how Claude looked so innocent and harmless in front of Klaus, his eyes sharpened the longer he held Silvia's eyes. Seeing this transition, Silvia furrowed her brows and narrowed her eyes. "Did Cassara..." she whispered as soon as Klaus was out of her sight. "... really hurt him?"
