The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 311

"Very well, Luna," I said, standing up.

"I see you do not want to do things the easy way. I guess we will have to take the hard route," I said and looked at her.

"Life is precious, don't you agree?" I asked her, and she nodded quickly.

"If you are honest with me, I won't kill you, but if you are not, I will have them execute you, and nothing will happen. Your husband has given his consent. I need you to buy your life back with the most useful information you have," I told her, and she frowned at me.

"Very well, Amy. Liam is in my custody and has told me many disturbing things, which checked out," I said; fear crept into her eyes, and I saw doom written on her face.

"His information was so good that I let him use it to buy his life back. I am offering you the same opportunity," I told her, and she swallowed.

"Before you start, I want you to tell me why you got an underage boy involved in this," I said, and her face hardened immediately.

It was as if a switch had gone off.

Amy did not want to pretend anymore. Which was great.

"I see you are being yourself now," Avery said, laughing at the woman, and I studied Amy.

"Why did you expose Liam like that?" I asked her, and she looked at me.

"Can't you see Volkov and his officers are sick? Look what they did to your region. They have been doing it for years. All we want is a government that we will have a say in, not tyranny," She said, and I did not want to tell her she is yet to see tyranny.

"So you will overthrow a lenient lord to install a false king?" I asked, and putting it the way I did, made her sound stupid.

"It is for the greater good," She said with her nose in the air.

"So what do you think would have happened to Liam?" I asked her.

"He would have become a fine governor of the north," she said, and I shook my head, laughing at her stupidity.

"I guess you do not know what happened to your son." I said and looked at her. She still had a look of pride and defiance in her eyes, and I wanted to slap her, but what I was about to tell her would hurt her deeply.

"Your son wasn't only observing. Elaine made him collect a transfer that blew his cover, and they tried to kill him. Even while locked in our dungeon, they have tried using their members working the estate to execute him. I doubt your king planned on sharing his victory with your family. You were just pawns. If you think I am lying, I will have them bring him here to tell you how we saved his life," I said, and tears began to stream down her cheeks. She knew I wasn't lying; I had no reason to. She felt betrayed.

"Those bastards promised nothing would happen to him," She said and began to weep.

"What do you expect from terrorists?" I asked her, and she looked at me.

"Let me see my son, and I will tell you everything I know. I do not care if I die, but I want you to get Ramsey Richford for helping the king to put a target on my son to cover their track. They were not to make him active," she said, and my heart soared at what she had said.

It was apparent that we had found Ramsey's coffin.

Destroying the bastard would be easier than I thought.

Amy was angry, but I could not pity her because she endangered her son's life. No matter how strongly she believed in the cause, hated Volkov, or thought she was helping our world, her duty was first to her family before anything. It was her duty to care for her son and protect him. Exposing Liam the way she did showed she had no business being a mother.
