The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 924

Seeing that the Royal family is somehow involved in this mess, I request that the council get involved and assist me in solving this matter," He said, and people began to murmur.

"How was the Royal family implicated? Isn't this your jurisdiction, alpha Zakharov?" Pamela asked, and he nodded, then moved to play the video we received from Mike when he lined up his family to let us know they were fine, and we should stop searching. The second one had a man with a skii mask telling the council to await their instructions and then showing Liam and Josephine getting into a cab.

People were surprised.

"If these things were not involved, I would have continued to do my best. But knowing what is at risk, I refuse to be responsible for failure. Liam Volkov is the heir to the throne, and Josephine Kuznetsov is one of the Stepanov heirs. They are too important for us not to deploy all the necessary resources to solve this matter," Christian explained.

"And you are certain this has nothing to do with Sophia Maguire, Prince Liam's girlfriend? It seems this case is getting preferential treatment because of the crowned prince," Pamela said, and Gerad agreed. I wondered why she had to be a pain in her arse today. There was no time she was pleasant, but I wanted this meeting to end.

"Why do you think that is?" Devin asked, and Gerad cleared his throat to speak.

"We have to recognise that Treason and Familicide are two different crimes, and Mike's crime means his entire family will be wiped out," he said, and I shook my head.

"Not his entire family. According to the law, he will just have to pay as much as he has taken. He killed a husband, wife and child, and thus, a husband, wife and child will be taken from him. So it is his immediate family that will be wiped out since he only has one child," Eric explained, and it wasn't helping.

"Well, we need to find out why he did it first before talking about punishments. But just for the record, this has nothing to do with Prince Liam's friendship with Sophia. For the record, I would like to state the two were not dating," I said in Liam's defence because I noticed he was getting close to Josephine, and the last thing I wanted was for Alexei to separate them in a bid to protect his daughter from heartbreak. My conversation with Liam stayed with me, and I saw how he looked at Josephine. I might be wrong, but being a victim of fate, I knew that look anywhere.

"I was just saying it based on what I heard," Pamela said, coming to her defence, and I disagreed.

"And now I have set the record straight. There is nothing but an innocent friendship between the two. And I do not know why we are making that a topic of discussion. The matter here is that Alpha Christian is overwhelmed and has brought the matter to the council. So I think we should take a vote. For those that believe the council and Royal family should step in, say, Aye," I said and raised my hand to say, Aye.

Everyone said 'Aye' except for four people on the council.

I looked at where the lords were and saw Vino grinning. He had been itching to get involved with the investigation. In fact, all of us had been hoping for the exercise. This was indeed going to be fun. I looked at Pamela and the others, that were obviously nays and smiled.

"Well, the verdict is clear. The Ayes have it," I said and banged the gavel.
