Kaiden clenched his jaw, his gaze boring into the map.
"What the hell…"
Throughout the journey, he had kept a close eye on it, anticipating the moment Zephyrion would lead them off their path and his farce would be exposed.
Yet, that moment never came.
In fact, the entire journey had gone smoothly because of Zephyrion. He had followed the path to a tee and chosen their camps with precision.
It had been so seamless that they hadn't even encountered a single mutated beast or wandering bandit. It was ridiculous.
Even worse, his flawless leadership had the others, Fiona included, following his every word like obedient little puppies. Kaiden's grip tightened around the map. He couldn't allow that.
What none of them realized was that Zephyrion's actions hadn't only unsettled Kaiden, but also their Silversteel instructor, Kona.
The man stood with a deep frown on his face, his gaze fixed on Zephyrion.
