Your uncle, driven by his desire to become king, spent years plotting against your father. However, his efforts were unsuccessful, and he sought my assistance. It was a discreet arrangement, carefully orchestrated to ensure no one suspected our true intentions. I met with your parents to discuss your marriage with my daughter, while your uncle was out of town. This provided us with the right opportunity to solidify our plan without raising suspicion. Your mom and your father were bound with vervain ropes and given yellow wolfsbane, as they were both alphas.

Despite the initial arrangement, your father had already proposed for you to marry Ru. However, Ru was already in love with someone else, and we didn't know how to reject the offer. So, when Xue Yang came and said he would take care of you since you are the crown prince and would eventually become king, we thought it was an excellent idea. As a result, I gave Xue Yang the knife.

Yellow wolfsbane? Zhan asked.

"That's correct," Duan Dan replied.

"Yellow wolfsbane and vervain won't kill a hybrid but weaken their powers. Did you strangle them at some point? Zhan asked calmly. Zhan is undoubtedly a psychopath. Wang thought. Wang's heart raced as Zhan's calm demeanor sent shivers down his spine. He couldn't help but wonder what sinister thoughts were lurking behind those piercing eyes.

"No," Duan Dan replied. "I didn't strangle them.

When I entered their room, they were already dead on their bed.

"I honestly don't know what happened," Duan Dan said, then she looked at my aunt. "Wow, big mistake. I didn't know my aunt would have the balls to kill my parents."

Do you need me to motivate you? Zhan grinned at Duan Dan.

"That won't be necessary," Duan Dan replied, her voice trembling slightly. She knew she was in deep trouble, and Zhan's sinister grin only made her uneasy.

Did you strangle my parents? He asked again. My parents would have easily broken free from the ropes. He added.

I added a touch of a paralyzing spell to the ropes, ensuring that even if your parents broke free, they could not move.

I see. Did you kill them? Zhan grinned.

"No, I did not kill them," Duan Dan answered, her voice quivering. "The paralyzing spell was only meant to immobilize them, not cause any harm. I swear, Zhan, I never intended for any of this to happen."

Zhan's smile widened as he walked toward Duan Dan. His eyes were filled with sadness rather than anger. "I know you didn't mean for this to happen," he said softly, placing a hand on Duan Dan's shoulder. "But we need to find out who did."

Zhan walked to his aunty smiling. At this point, Wang only felt pity toward him.

Zhan knew his aunt was stubborn, greedy and cunning, and he believed she influenced his uncle to become king.
