Francesca had always been his in his eyes, a prize he believed he deserved
Now, knowing that she was not dating Kingsley after all, his feelings of humiliation only grew.
He vowed to make Francesca his, by any means necessary.
As for Kingsley ? Simon clenched his fists and smirked bitterly.
Taking Francesca away was not enough.
He wanted to see Kingsley ruined, humiliated, and broken.
E Cedric had silently observed the entire heated exchange between Francesca and Simon.
He said nothing until Francesca stormed off in anger, leaving him to fix Simon with a stern glare before finally speaking Simon, why do you insist on tormenting yourself over Fran ? Cedric asked, his voice calm but firm
Simons face flushed with both embarrassment and rage, Mr. Aicker, its not that I want to bother her! She lied to me she made me think she was with Kingsley when she wasnt.
How is that not a direct insult to me? Cedric let out a cold snort.
You’re my top apprentice, Simon.
If you have nothing to hide, why would someones words be enough to humiliate you? Simon gritted his teeth
Its not just that! I’ll inherit everything from you one day, and the Aickers don’t have any male heirs to carry on the legacy
If you promise Fran to me the Aickers will have a secure future and so will she ! Cedric was so furious he actually chuckled.
You ungrateful fool! Do you even hear yourself? Simon straightened up defiantly.
Mr. Aicker, I know what just said was disrespectful.
But you know how much I care about you and Fran.
Ive always been loyal to both of you.
Im only speaking the truth, even if its unpleasant.
If Fran doesnt marry me, who else is going to support this family and its legacy? Cedrics eyes narrowed with cold fury.
Fine
Since youve decided to bare it all, let me make something very clear -you and Fran will never happen. Ever
Your so called loyalty to me? don’t make me laugh
What you really crave is my knowledge of medicine, our familys martial arts secrets, and Francescas beauty! Cedrics voice grew harsher as he continued, his piercing gaze making Simon flinch. Simon stammered, M Mr. Aicker.
You knew all of that? Cedrics voice was cold as steel.
You think Ive been blind? Ive known about your decelt for years! I only held back because I raised you and didnt want to destroy the future I had worked to build for you
But youve been sneaking into our training chambers, stealing forbidden techniques, and practicing dangerous, unapproved methods to boost your strength
Do you even understand the severity of your actions? By the rules of the Aickers, you shouldve been expelled long ago.
Your entire knowledge of our martial arts and medicine wouldve been erased
Simons face turned pale before quickly twisting in defiance Fine, I admit it! Ive been practicing those techniques.
Ive learned from the darker, forbidden paths of medicine.
So what? I never used any of it to harm you or Fran ! Cedric roared in anger.
And you still don’t think youve done anything wrong? You’re a disgrace, Simon! Simons eyes reddened as he shouted back, I’m not wrong! You just don’t have the guts to admit it! You’re too afraid to push boundaries
You refuse to study the power at your fingertips, and because of that, the Aickers have fallen behind! He gestured wildly as he continued Look at the Weller family! Look at the Rhodes family! Theyve left us in the dust because you’re too timid
If it werent for me, the Aickers wouldnt even be considered part of the elite anymore.
Youve achieved nothing in years!
Cedric was shaking with rage.
He raised his hand, ready to strike Simon, who sneered in defiance.
Mr, Aicker, look around
So many people are watching.
Are you sure you want to cut ties with me right here ? Simons voice dripped with arrogance
He continued, If you do, by tomorrow morning, every major and minor power in Jayrodale will know that the Aicker family has splintered.
Do you really think you can handle the consequences of that scandal? Without me, the Aickers wont even be relevant anymore! Simons bitter words were laced with hatred and conceit.
Cedric quivered with fury and hissed through gritted teeth, Youve gone mad! You’re blinded by greed and ambition
As soon as we return to the Aicker residence, youll pack your things and leave.
From this day forward, you are no longer my apprentice ! Simons face contorted with rage
Fine! You want me gone? Then give me Fran as my wife, and pass the leadership of the Aickers to me. Otherwise, I wont leave ! Do you really think that will happen? Cedric spat.
You’re right about one thing the Aickers need an heir, and Fran can’t shoulder the entire burden alone. But I’d rather let the family dissolve or hand it over to Kingsley than give it to a poisonous snake like you. Simons eyes burned with fury.
So thats it? Youd give everything to that pretty faced Kingsley? What is it about him that makes you so biased? What does he have that I don’t ? Cedric gave a cold laugh.
What do you lack compared to him? Everything.
You don’t even come close.
I held back the truth all these years to protect your ego, but now that youve crossed the line, its time you heard it.
Compared to Dr. Baldwin, you’re an incompetent fool in every respect.
Cedrics voice grew even colder.
I’d rather have Fran be Kingsleys mistress than let her marry you.
At least that way, her life wont be ruined under your control
With a final glare, Cedric turned on his heel and stormed off leaving Simon shaking with rage.
Simon stood there, his fists clenched as he watched Cedric walk away.
He muttered under his breath, You senile old fool! You’re digging your own grave! His humiliation and resentment surged in waves, consuming him with each passing moment.
He replayed Cedrics words in his mind, how Cedric would rather see Francesca with Kingsley than with him
That thought clawed at Simons pride like a searing wound.
As his mind spiraled with hatred, Cedric climbed the platform at the center of the crowd, drawing everyones attention.
The platform was set up for the Moonlit Apothecarys grand opening ceremony, reserved for special guests.
The atmosphere shifted as Cedric ascended, his face clouded with frustration.
People sensed that something was amiss
Kingsley, who had been welcoming Mark and other guests, noticed the tension and immediately found Francesca.
He asked, Fran, whats going on between your grandfather and Simon ? Francesca sighed in frustration. I’m not entirely sure.
I argued with Simon earlier, but I left before things escalated.
I wouldnt be surprised if he tried to force my grandpa to marry me off to him again.
Thats all that maniac ever thinks about ! On the stage, Cedric grabbed the microphone and spoke coldly, Apologies to
Dr. Baldwin and all the guests.
Ive come up here to announce something important.
From this moment forward, my eldest apprentice, Simon Gaal, is expelled from my family and teachings
! Gasps rippled through the crowd, followed by a flurry of heated discussions
Cedric just made a public announcernent like that at Mount Apothecarys grand opening.
The Aickers must have some serious internal conflict! Simon is Cedrics top apprentice and is also a well known figure in Jayrodale
What could have happened to make Cedric cast him out? Ive heard Simons been infatuated with Francesca for years, but shes never been interested
Maybe thats the real reason Cedric lost his temper? After making his declaration, Cedric walked off the stage without giving further explanation.
Francesca rushed over, clutching his arm with teary eyes.
Grandpa, what happened? Why did you drive Simon away? Whats going on? she asked in distress. Cedric huffed
Fran, today is Dr. Baldwins big day.
I wont letthat ungrateful scum ruin it
Just remember if he ever thinks he can have you, itll be over my dead body! Kingsley joined them and sighed
Dr. Aicker, was that really necessary: Cedric shook his head apologetically.
Dr. Baldwin, I lost my composure
I shouldnt have done that during your ceremony.
Kingsley smiled faintly
I wasnt talking about the timing meant that if you expel Simon, it might weaken the Aickers future. Cedrics expression hardened
Even if the Aickers collapses, I wont allow that disgrace to remain under my roof.
Kingsley glanced at Francesca.
