Fate's Dark Side Chapter 333

"Anyway, Jenny liked to keep records," I said, going back to the topic of discussion, and they were attentive.

"According to those records, she had a child with my father, or so she said. It could have been anyone's child, but she claimed it was my father's. Her husband was late by then, and she occupied his seat on the council so that it would have been a scandal, and she would have lost the Babanin's seat," I said, and they were in shock.

"What happened to this baby?" Leo asked, and I nodded.

"She claimed my father took the baby from her, and she does not know where the baby is," I said, and Dominic growled.

"Another bastard!" he said, and I nodded.

"Technically, the only bastard if the baby is a Volkov. David isn't a bastard since father claimed his mother, but Jenny's child is a bastard not only because of the illicit affair, but we are not sure if the child is truly a Volkov. The baby could have belonged to any of her lovers. She also seemed obsessed with my father," I said, and Theodore laughed.

"You can say that again, Sylvester. Linda can't get enough of those journals. The woman was out of it," He said, laughing. Honestly, the journals were funny.

"Journals?" Leo, Devin and Dominic asked, and I nodded.

"There were journals of her personal life that we took from her home where she describes all manner of things. It is easy to conclude that the woman was unstable." I said.

"Anyway, what if this son is the king?" I said, and Dominic shook his head.

"This king thing is a spillover from father's time. It might be the same set of people. He is too young to be the mastermind. He should be twenty-five twenty-six now since you said it was after Jenny's husband's death." Dominic said, and I nodded.

"That is the confusing part of the information. I thought it was David, but after meeting him and his family, I do not think he is the one." I said, and Leo leaned forwards.

"It will be wrong to dismiss hunches. I think this bastard is worth looking into. After the arrest, we should pull our resources together and trace this guy out. We need to know if he is alive and where he is. This king guy must have a serious sense of entitlement, and I am sorry to say this, but he is likely the one who thinks he is owed because other than that, he has no reason to want to be king," Leo added, and we agreed.

"So, how are we doing this?" I asked, and Marcel leaned forward.

"The games have been cut short because of security issues and the rates of forfeitures and dropouts. So, it ends this week. We will go to the arena tomorrow and make our presence known. Pretend nothing is happening and move in on the traitors at night. The longer we stay away from the arena, the more alert they will be. We need them to relax," Marcel said, and I agreed with their devised method.

"I thought we should play some Polo, too. Kyle and Max are on their way," Leo said, and we all laughed, remembering what happened at the last game. Everyone laughed except for Devin, who didn't get the joke because he wasn't there.

"They won't trouble Linda and Avery. They know they have lost. If anything, they are very sorry. Max has bigger issues. It seems Ramsey is behind his pack's predicament, and Kyle is paranoid about his warriors," Leo said quickly to put Theodore and Marcel's minds at ease.

"We will need all the help we can get. Max and Kyle are pretty strong warriors and the best the east can offer. Differences aside, we will make a great team," I said, agreeing with Leo's choice, and my friends had no choice but to accept it.

We went over the plans again and decided to rest. Marcel planned on introducing Devin and Leo to the ladies in the harem, but I doubted they were up for it. They still had eyes only for Tamia. Anyway, I let them go about their businesses. I hurried back to my room.
