If Rei wanted to play this game and acted as if he was a good servant, then Iris determined to treat him as one. Having additional servant would always be nice.
By then, Redmond realized where he got this familiar feeling. This actually not something that he had seen before, but actually something that he had experienced.
In the past, he was in Rei's position, where he pledged his loyalty to Iris, but actually it was Cane, who gave him all the annoying task.
Seriously, you wouldn't do anything without the alpha's approval and by the time, you would learn that it would be faster to ask Cane directly rather than Iris, since the order would come from the alpha in the end.
Redmond really wanted to laugh and welcome Rei to the same fate.
What a fool of Rei to think he could ignore Cane and simply pledged his loyalty to Iris by neglecting the alpha? He was going to be Cane's servant instead.
