Fate's Dark Side Chapter 313
"I want you to tell me all you know, and I want the truth. If your story does not check out, I will execute you," I told her, reminding her of the cost of her keeping her life. She nodded and looked at me.
"I will tell it all." She said with determination and pain in her eyes.
I put on my phone recorder to record her words. I hoped to get something good that would lead somewhere. She was the head Luna of the north, so it had to count for something.
"I was recruited five years ago. I am part of the northern elite core. My husband doesn't know, but my duty is to keep an eye on the activities in the north and get close to the influencers.
The idea was to cause tiny pockets of trouble, make the people revolt and cause a revolution.
They promised me a seat on the council when the king is installed, and my son will be governor of the north. Everyone that they hope will be governor and council member when the king ascends is in the group.
Ramsey is the one mobilising us, but he isn't the king.
The king is very shifty, and I don't know who it is, but I doubt he is young because they are following the same plan they used during Lord Maurice's time. I might be wrong also, but I am just saying." She said and sighed.
"I need you to be more detailed," I told her calmly, and she nodded.
"Ramsey is our leader. His task is to unite the east and the south so we can get our men into the south through the east and overthrow Devin Corrigan to install our leader there.
We thought we had almost succeeded with Leo Albert but later found out that our informant, his current Luna, had been deliberately feeding us false information, and Ramsey declared her an enemy two weeks ago. I do not know if they have carried out the order.
Once you were taken from the east, she was supposed to report everything Leonardo was doing and his movement so he could be ambushed, killed and replaced.
She did not know that part, but I guess she figured her father had ill plans for her fated, who happened to also be the man that overthrew him in the past.
I do not have the full story, but I believe you know it better than me since that was your life.
Of course, some people suggested we just attack the east and kill him, but the elites know that Albert might be peaceful, but he is deadly.
It had to be planned in a way that Maxwell Blanch and Kyle Nikson would not be able to aid him.
They, too, were on the hit list, but our plan did not work.
We were hoping the attack on the east would force Leo to take the initiative and execute or exile Kyle to reduce his strength in the east. When that didn't happen, we had to lean on our informant," She said, and I had to interrupt her.
"Why all the scheming and hiding in the shadows? This is a lot of tedious mental work. Why not just attack and try to kill everyone? Why scheme against them? That is not a leader's trait," I said, and she smiled at me.
"They do not have an army. A few loyalists here and there, but the numbers aren't enough to guarantee a win, so this is their best bet," she said. I understood their handicap, which would have been to our advantage if we knew who this king man was. I guess I would just have to be satisfied with ending Ramsey and everyone on our list, hopeful that the king would show up, which I doubt anyway. He did not seem like the irrational type.
Not wanting to spoil the confession, I prompted her to continue.
"Please continue," I said, and she sighed.
"Amanda Richford has not been cooperative. The plan was to place our member Alpha Gabriel as leader of the east. He would, in return, support us against Lord Volkov, putting his position in a precarious situation.
Even though we had failed with Leonardo Albert, the infiltration of the south was successful.
I do not know if they have given the order, but Corrigan would soon be no more. We have been able to buy a few people close to him to finish the job.
Christian was supposed to champion the petition and make sure Lord Volkov stepped down as Lord. Which will automatically make him head of the council as he is both a Volkov and a Belyaev.
Once that happens, the governors and Alphas in the association will sack the council and install our person as the king.
The king will then create a new council which Ramsey will head. Every Elite will have a seat there.
The king promised that there would be equality and that every pack would be allowed to make their decision and keep most of the revenues to develop their lands which isn't what is happening in the current council. The Lord keeps sixty-five per cent as tax to use as he sees fit, " she explained the situation.
