The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 414

I entered the building with Tamia and headed to our bedroom.

We entered our bedroom, and I watched her take off her clothes. My eyes caught the blowgun that partially fit in her jeans pocket. I could see it because her pocket could not conceal it. I was grateful for the improvision she had made by bringing that thing with her to Gad; it had saved us from war and ensured that we captured Larry.

"How do you know how to use that?" I asked her out of curiosity.

I was waiting for Bryce to tell me they were ready to go to Lucland, so I kept my clothes on.

"I used to go on spying missions when I was Luna. It helped Leo and I size up our next conquest. The darts are soaked in a unique cocktail designed to make its victims limp once it comes in contact with their bloodstream. The victim will pass out cold and motionless on the ground until the drug wears out.

I would usually blow the dart aiming for the vein in the neck to make sure the poison is delivered to the bloodstream directly, causing the victim to pass out immediately," she explained, and I smiled at her genius.

"Well, I would have never considered going on the mission with something like it. Thank you for improvising and bringing it along. I will always owe you," I said, and she smiled at me.

"You can spend the rest of your life thanking me, your Majesty," she teased, and I smiled at her and pulled her into my arms.

"We both calmed down and stared into each other's eyes lovingly.

"Tamia, I need you to do me a big favour," I said and sighed.

"I want you to remain in the estate with your friends while I try to retrieve Dominic, David, Katya, my mother and the triplets from Lucland," I explained.

"Can't they withstand the might on their own?" she asked, feeling uncomfortable about my trip, and I nodded at her.

"I doubt they can because we do not know the level of their might in Lucland," I said, and she nodded reluctantly.

"Where are they now?" she asked, and I obliged.

"In the hospital doing the sibling test," I said, and she was silent a bit and then looked at me worried.

"Have you thought of what you would do when the results are out?" She asked me, and I sighed.

"There is nothing to do but accept him if he is a Volkov, and if not, he would have to move on with his life; either way, he can no longer be on the council," I said, and she frowned at me.

"But you heard all that Larry said," she said, and I shook my head.

"He is lucky that all he will lose is a seat, Tamia. He committed treason. He should have come to me and warned me, but he chose to remain silent. He might not have actively done anything against me, but he knew of the threat and kept it to himself because he thought he was in love. Losing his seat is a slap on the wrist," I said, and she was silent.

"I need you to remain here, Tamia, while I do what I must in Lucland. Do you think you can do that for me?" I asked her, and she nodded.

"Thank you so much," I said with much relief and kissed her sweetly on the lips. She returned the kiss, and I was glad we returned from Gad safely.

"Before you leave, who was the man Larry had in custody? His face looks familiar, but I cannot place him. He is too hairy, dirty and thin for anyone to recognise him," She asked, and I knew I would have to tell her the truth.

"That is Lucas Sidorov, Marcel's father," I said to her, and she was in shock. No one would learn that that was Lucas and would not be surprised to see him alive in the flesh. To think we believed we had buried him and said goodbye to him.
