The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 324

"Bathe her," I said because she was still lying.

She wasn't a trophy. She did not come to the Volkov estate like the rest of us. She was sent so Sylvester would consider mating with her. Her father sent her for the sake of having an alliance.

She screamed for a while before they washed it off.

"Every time you lie about something, and I know it, I will wash you with silver". I told her.

"I do not care why you did it, Lilly; I want information now. What did they do with the seals you took?" I asked her. I already knew what they did with it, but I wanted to be sure that she understood my message and would tell the truth because I figured she was the type that needed motivation before she could speak the truth. It was pathetic, but she was a liar.

"They used it to create attack ordered in the south. It was sent to the council to approve so the north could deploy troops to the south to cause a problem between the two regions," she said, voicing the truth for the first time.

"Now, was that difficult ?" I asked her, and she shook, still sobbing.

"What is their next move?" I asked her, and she looked at me as if she were scared.

"If you do not tell me, Lilly, I will force it out of you, and it will be painful", I assured her.

"They are planning to do something to Lady Volkov. Something about her committing a crime. I do not have the full details, but they plan to arrest her after the games to force Lord Volkov to step down," She said, and I composed myself.

"After that, what next?" I asked, and she shrugged.

"Do you happen to know what they have against her?" I asked, and she nodded.

"Jenny Lawrence's confession that she sent to the council. She said it would be sent and played for the council if anything happened to her. According to them, Lady Volkov has been trying to kill Jenny because Jenny knows her secret," Lilly said, and I knew where they were driving.

"And, what is that?" I asked, and she was afraid to say it.

"Say it!" I yelled at her, already knowing what it was, but I wanted to discredit it and make it seem like propaganda.

"They said she was the one that gave up lord Maurice's cover and had him killed so her son could be lord because Lord Maurice wanted his other son to be lord instead of Volkov," she said, and I shook my head.

I was secretly worried that was why they were looking for David, but I kept it to myself.

"How many more lies would these people peddle? This woman has buried her mate, and they want to use his death against her. Do they have proof of this allegation other than Jenny's confession?" I asked, wanting to know what we were up against, and she shook her head.

"Not that I know of Luna. I am just an underdog." She said, and I knew she wasn't lying.

I walked up to her and looked at her body.

"You had a bright future, Lilly. Sadly, you dared to throw it all away for nothing. I tried to make it easy for you and give you your life back, but you threw my kindness back at me," I said and looked at Wilson.

"Lock her up in the dark cells. She would be tried for treason with the maximum penalty," I said, and she began to cry and plead, knowing she would be found guilty.

"You have proven you can't be reformed, Lilly. I can't have you roaming about the place creating troubles for my husband and me," I explained my reason to her and walked out of the room.

I was done with her. She cried and called after me, but her pleas fell on deaf ears.

She deserved pain. Waking up every day knowing she would be sentenced soon would torture her. I might not push for the death penalty, but it wasn't my decision. I instructed Wilson on what to do. They had already prepared the second questioning room for Annika and Olga; I planned on questioning them and then visiting Amanda.
