Fate's Dark Side Chapter 595

I was serving a king already even though he is my friend; I did not mind serving another but knowing that Tamia, Sylvester, their children and everyone I cared about in the north would have to die before these people were satisfied, let me know that surrendering was not an option.

"I agree our options are slim," Alexei began, and the twinkle in his eyes showed he had an idea.

"Yes, they are. You saw what they did in Pridewood." Andrew said, looking at Devin.

"I learned they had help from the Sullivans because that was the home of their brother, the very people that did not give him asylum when the King was after his life. It is even rumoured that they had an informant there. I am not sure, but you know I have been on the run for a while now, so I do not know the truth, but I am certain they had help from the Sullivans. There must have been an informant in Pridewood that let them know when to strike." Andrew said, and I did not want to be in Devin's shoes right now.

There was silence for a bit before Alexei decided to speak.

"I do not want my sister turned into a breeding machine. Our father died trying to prevent it. Allowing Erik to have his way will be spitting on our father's grave.

We did not have a normal life because of these bastards. Clay's mother died an unhappy woman; mine was killed because of this bastard. We had to survive on our own because of Erik's ambitions.

We grew apart because of this bastard. We cannot let him take over our world. People complained about Dimitri and Maurice. People even hate Sylvester, but Erik will be worse, and his sick son Maksim will be worse. We cannot allow that, so here is what I propose," he said, and I was attentive.

"We need a shit load of an army of the Stepanov bloodline to counter this sick fuck. Erik has not bared his claws to Yuri because they have the same fighting force.

I say we win Yuri to our side by letting him have the south and east and restoring the Stepanov bloodline while the Volkovs keep the north and west.

If Yuri is on our side, we will end Erik and his army.

We must pick the lesser of the evils, and Yuri is not bloodthirsty and greedy. He is just aggrieved; we all are.

What the Volkovs did to us was unfair, but we cannot take it out on Sylvester and the Lords. They had no hand in it. A simple divide would settle the matter." He said, and I knew it would be hard.

I doubt Sylvester would be open to it, but Alexei was right. I do not see anyone keeping it all in the best-case scenario. Still, I see that bastard Erik taking it all in the worst-case scenario.

It was something to think about.

I allocated rooms to our guests and assigned Omegas to attend to them. Then, I made a phone available for Alexei to call his wife. At the same time, Devin and I retired to our rooms.

The look on Devin's face indicated he had a lot to discuss with Susan.

I hoped it did not put a strain on their relationship.

Her uncle and cousin had just been executed for treason; they were the only family she knew she had. If this comes up, she would know her parents were alive and also committing treasonous acts, and she might be a suspect of treason herself if truly they had an informant in the south. It was a mess. I wonder how she will take it. I might not like her, but I felt sorry for her.
