Chapter 594 The New King

“Silas Shadowborne’s son?!” Zander’s eyes narrowed into piercing slits as he appraised Jasper. “And you expect us to believe you when your name has never crossed my ears?” Jasper’s voice was tinged with bitterness as he explained, “Damon manipulated our father, forcing my mother and me into exile from the kingdom. I was prepared to return when I learned of Father’s death and Damon’s treachery, but my mother insisted it was Father’s dying wish for Damon to rule. When I heard of Uncle’s murder and Damon’s flight, I returned to confront whoever was plunging my land into chaos.” His gaze swept over us, a glint of disdain flickering in his eyes.
