The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 630

After brunch, we went to the lounge to catch up on events and bring our mates up to speed.

Andrew and Clay arrived at the lounge. The two seemed to be having fun, but I did not trust Andrew.

Devin had called to inform us that he was on his way and that they had caught the bitch. I did not want us to have that discussion in the presence of Andrew.

I needed to be sure he could be trusted.

So far, he hasn't shown otherwise, especially now that we know who the real mole was, but the fact that he was quick to suggest that we team up with Yuri baffled me.

I sat still and decided to figure some things out. Hopefully, Andrew will give us something we can work with.

"Do you know any trusted ally of Erik we can speak to?" I asked, and Andrew frowned at me, wondering where the talk came from. I knew it was sudden, but it was also deliberate.

"I mean, I want to meet someone that believes in Erik so I can understand his angle. You believe in Yuri. You said it yourself. Your father was killed for his belief in Yuri, and Yuri is a mass murderer, and I do not think you care about that.." I said, and I could see I had struck a nerve with the guy.

"He wiped out an entire settlement in Pridewood and chased people away from their homes in Brent, but you think it is okay. Do you know how many Western displaced people I have dealt with thanks to his propaganda?" I asked, and he did not say a word.

I noticed Clay was attentive, which meant he gave my reasoning a chance.

"All the deaths and misfortunes have been caused by Yuri. I haven't seen or heard of or experienced one that Erik caused. Erik is too damn silent for us not to know what he is up to. He has also not killed anyone innocent except your father, and you said that your father believed the mass murder was just. What if Yuri is the bad guy, and we will fall into a trap by teaming up with him to take out Erik?" I said, and Andrew shook his head.

"Have you heard yourself? Erik attacked you," He said, and I shook my head.

"Some weirdos that look like Stepanovs attacked us. Everything we know of Erik is from you, Andrew. I am not putting you on the spot, but there is a possibility you have been misguided," I said, and he shook his head.

"I have been in that cult all my life, and I know them," He said, and I sighed.

"A mass murderer isn't a peace-loving person. If truly your father meant anything to him, he would have gone after Erik. But he chose not to. I am just saying that your story is one-sided, and if you do not have any intents, we need to get Erik's angle too and then decide whom we will team up with," I told him, and he bowed his head.

"I know I look suspicious, and the things Yuri has done lately are questionable, but you do not know them as I do. Erik is a snake, while Yuri is like wind," he said, and I shook my head.

"That is different from how you described Yuri. You described him as someone that loves peace. Yuri is the son of Adrik's brother. He has no reason to want to claim kingship.

If indeed he is fighting for a just cause, should he not be fighting for Clay and Alexei to be lords now that we can have multiple lords? Was it not lordship that Adrian and Gregory fought for? Why does he want a piece of something that was not part of the agreement? Something that the Volkovs acquired on their own? We bestowed the Kingship on Sylvester because we knew he was worthy. He had proven himself.

He took it not because he wanted it but because he had to. Because your cult, through Larry, had backed all of us into a corner, and we had to push back.
