Unfortunately, Edgar had to stop his mission. Not because Cass or even Gideon stopped him, but because Duke Ridgewood decided to show his face.
Cass wasn't surprised, but Gideon was shocked. It was clear that even after everything, he had thought that his father hadn't been on the property. Like he had been told.
Cass didn't trust that tidbit of information in the slightest when he'd heard it. He didn't think that any man in the Ridgewood family was allowed to make a decision outside of their father. It would explain why Gideon was treated the way that he was, because otherwise he'd be a really good son. Had a lot of holy power, loyal and determined. Followed the weird rules that he set up without question, until it told him to kill someone.
You know, all the things that any cult leader liked to hear.
