The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 613

"Joan always sent her daughter to the East. There was no need for it, but she did all the time, then, tried to get Devin when it seemed like Leo was not interested in settling down again, but Devin was in a serious relationship with Susan then.

I wonder what happened to those two; they have been on and off.

I wonder if they get tired of their breakups and make-ups.

The woman has a lot of shit going on with her.

I believe she just needs time away from everyone to heal.

It isn't easy watching your only relative's execution.

I am surprised she could even remain in a relationship with Devin. Heard they have broken up finally now, so I am sure the Claymans and Rivers will be out for Devin.

Those two women don't even know the shit the North is in with your relatives," She said and eyed me to see if she might have struck a nerve.

I shook my head.

"They killed my dad, so we are on the same page," I said, and she gasped.

"Those people are psycho. I know what Dimitri did was wrong, but what does that have to do with our men? They weren't even born then, and besides, it was a lordship, not kingship. Why can't they let it rest?

I know Sylvester would give them lordship in a heartbeat if they ask for it. I doubt their intentions are good." She said, and I agreed with her.

"These bastards are not even in the line of succession. My father was the son of Adrik, so my brothers and I are the true heirs, but none of us is interested, just like my father. It is a colossal mess; they have been doing many weird things lately. They have been cruel, too," I said, and Linda widened her eyes.

"Tell me about it," She said and sat on the couch in her room.

I went to sit beside her. There was no point going to my room; Leo wasn't home yet.

"Those bastards stole my land," Linda growled, and I knew how hard she fought for her land.

"All those poor people from Brent. Why didn't they just give Kyle a beating and move along? Did they have to steal the land too?" she said, and I laughed.

If only she knew how Kyle arrived at Mountain, I am sure she would feel some satisfaction.

"Then the horrible things they did in Pridewood in the south. They murdered all those people in cold blood. I must commend Kyle for choosing life over his pride. The first time he would do something sensible and put others first." She said, and we were silent.

"What do you think the council would do if they found a suspect for the event in Pridewood, even if it was an informant?" I asked, wanting to understand why Susan did not trust the system and ran away.

"Why are you asking, do you have a suspect ?" she asked, and I shook my head immediately.

She frowned at me, and I looked away.

"It isn't a suspect, just someone I believe might be in trouble for it," I said, and she sighed.

"Those council people are lazy. Devin and Leo do their best, but the rest of them are just there for the benefits.

They do not investigate anything.

I honestly cannot trust them with lives. In the bid to close the case quickly, they would just condemn the person. We are always the ones that force investigations. Most of the time, we carry it out ourselves to prove a suspect innocent, but in that case, it has to be something serious." She explained, and I understood Susan's actions.

"So they can't be trusted to do their job diligently," I said, and she nodded.

"Leo and Devin make a difference, but Sylvester determines the outcome in the end," she said. I sighed, knowing Susan had a history with Sylvester.

It would be a bad situation for all of them.

He might not want to give her the benefit of the doubt so it won't seem like favouritism.

I doubt Tamia would mind, but he would respect his queen and leave it to the council.

Susan must have done the math, and that was why she bolted. I just hoped she and Devin were okay.

I stood up to give Linda time to settle in.

"Well, let me go and handle the kitchen staff while you freshen up and wait for your husband," I said, and she smiled and nodded.

"Who is doing the cooking?" She asked, and I told her it was the omegas. I had told her I could cook once, and I knew she might have been looking forward to eating my food. I smiled at her.

"We are plenty now; I doubt I can cook for all of us," I said, and she laughed.

"We will all help out whenever you feel like cooking. Trust me, Amelia, living in that castle makes us miss out on many normal things. I would love to cook my meals for a change." She said, and I laughed.

"I will let you know so we can plan towards it," I said, and she smiled.

I left her room after that because I knew I might not leave if I stayed. There was just so much to say.

I was still mad at Leo for going on that journey without me, and I would scold him for it.

I entered my room and sat on the bed. It wasn't long before I heard Leo's voice in my head. They were home. I guess they weren't far away when I called.
