Fate's Dark Side Chapter 316

"That was a different case," I said, ashamed that I had entrusted the wrong person with an important task. I tried to brush it off.

Knowing I did not want to discuss Lilly with her, she smiled at me.

"I was thinking of what you said about the king guy coming from Maurice's time, and I disagree. It is all too easy," she said, and I was attentive.

"Sylvester is nothing like his father. Maurice was ruthless. The only reason Ramsey escaped his wrath was that Ramsey could prove his innocence beyond reasonable doubt and plead his case with the council. That was the only time Maurice hated being a lord. If he were a king, he would have executed Ramsey without a trial because he knew Ramsey worked against him.

Back to what I was trying to tell you, I do not think this person is a spillover from that time. Maybe he is surrounding himself with some of the survivors of that time, but the mode of operation is so different that it is a new person altogether. He might be young or my age, but it isn't the same people," she said, and I was surprised at how deeply Stephine was thinking.

"Anyway, the good news is Leo and Devin are on board to install Sylvester as king," I said, trying to change the topic because I wanted to rest, and she squealed.

"Unfortunately, we might have to keep the two Alphas here because these people have a target on their backs, and we do not want anything to happen to them," I said, and she frowned, not wanting to speak because I was tired and sleepy.

I played the recording of Amy's questioning for her while I closed my eyes to rest. It wasn't long after I closed my eyes that I fell asleep.

I woke up, and it was dark. Stephanie wasn't in my room, and Sylvester was sitting next to me with his computer on his lap. He seemed calm.

I managed to sit up gradually, and he looked at me and smiled.

"Sorry, I did not want to wake you," He said, closing his computer, and I smiled at him.

"How did they take it?" I asked him about the recording, and he sighed.

"Devin did not take it so well. But we have decided we will arrest everyone at the same time in two days, but they will stay in the estate in the meantime," he said.

I wasn't comfortable with his words, but I did not say anything so Sylvester would not worry. I didn't particularly appreciate Devin and Leo being in the estate. I still felt like we had unfinished business, and I did not want to face them yet. Most especially Leo.

"Are you okay?" He asked me, and I nodded.

"When will you question Amanda?" he asked me, and I had forgotten about her completely.

"I have shifted it all for tomorrow," I said, and he sighed.

"What is the matter?" I asked him.

"We are supposed to be planning our wedding, Tamia, but look at all this," he said, and I snuggled into his arms.

"Do not trouble yourself, darling. I am having fun," I told him, and he gently patted my hair.

"Marcel and Theodore suspect Jenny's son is the culprit," he said, and I looked at him.

"We all thought it was David, but now that we have found where he is living and realised he is on their list, it only comes down to Jenny's son," He said, and I asked him to elaborate.

"No commoner would wake up one day with a decision he wants to be king. This person is going after this agenda as if it is his entitlement. Calling himself a king is extreme. If it were a common person, he would have been satisfied with just putting the council in charge but going further to sack the current council and reinstate a new council while he installs himself as king speaks volumes, Tamia.

The painful part about all this is how blindly these people follow this man. It is as if they are stupid, Tamia, and I am worried about it.

We need to hunt down the guy. Whoever Jenny's son is, he is still out there, and I bet he is behind all this. I do not think he is an older person. The elderly nature of the culprit might be a deliberate characteristic to throw us off his trail.

If anything, the guy is a genius, and we should not give him too much time to recuperate after we have arrested everyone," he said with a strong determination. I knew he was right, but I wasn't eager to discard the fact that it might be a spillover from Maurice's time.
