It was Alan's fault that Cane reacted so drastically. If only he didn't provoke him, he wouldn't have said those things out loud, reminded all of them about how King Aeon succeeded the throne, even though he was born to a mistress, the same as Alan.
The current crown prince was also born to a mistress and this didn't project the King and his favorite son in good light, who he stubbornly appointed as the Crown Prince, as it gave a feeling that King Aeon reflected himself so much in Alan.
As of now, the King was fuming mad upon the Crown Prince's slip and how clueless he was about his own predicament.
How could he be so stupid not to see that Cane provoked him intentionally? That the Alpha knew how to hit and say the right things to aggravate him further, while keeping his own reaction and response justified? They couldn't completely blame Cane for that, nor what he said was a lie, because as disturbing as it sounded for some people, that was the truth.
