Shadows of Destiny

After breakfast, we had to converge at the lounge to discuss matters.

Tamia went with Linda and Avery while my mother left us to handle the issues concerning the upcoming ceremonies.

I have never been this mentally busy, but dealing with this king forced me to put my brain cells to work.

If it weren’t for the lives it threatened, I would have said I was enjoying the cat-and-mouse game the uprising was playing.

“Four days to go, and you will be the official king.

How do you feel about it?” Dominic asked me, and I looked at him, searching my mind for an honest answer.

“Honestly, Dominic.

I feel nothing.

I feel under pressure like I will be taking up more responsibilities,” I confessed, and he laughed.

“To think father fought tooth and nail for what was given to you on a platter,” he said in deep thought.

I knew Dominic cared for our father a lot and wasn’t aware of what our father did to him.

I hope the time won’t come when I must tell him the man he held on to in his happy fairytale memory never acknowledged his worth.

“I never agreed with your ideology, Sylvester, but I do now,” he said and sat beside me.

Marcel and Theodore were making themselves comfortable, while Leo and Devin were yet to join us.

“If you had attacked the south and destroyed the east as I advised, these people would have won.

I am glad you know when to be merciful and when to be ruthless,” he confessed, and just then, Leo and Devin joined us.

“Since you told me what Ramsey said, I took it upon myself to check the people on that list and the names checked out.

The list she gave us was accurate.

I returned to the prison to show Ramsey, and he agreed with the list.

Those were names of their associates and members,” He said with concern.

“So, what are you driving at?” Dominic asked him.

“Amanda and her lover planned on using these people, and if it goes wrong, dispose of them.

See what she did to her cousin and father.

They are trying to make us clean up their mess,” He said, and I knew where he was driving.

“The uprising group has ended, and the so-called king man would look for another means of getting what he wants.

See these people and the uprising thing as a failed project.

These people on this list do not have any viable information about the king man and Amanda.

They make her seem like a victim and keep saying he is an older man.

That would force us to a point at Ramsey, but we know Ramsey doesn’t have the capacity and smarts for this.

They have stylishly disposed of their allies so they can go into hiding and start afresh later.” Marcel said, and Theodore cleared his throat.

“That is why it is paramount that Annika wakes up.

She must have information that is not in circulation to make Amanda go as far as slipping her poison.

We might be wrong, but it’s worth the attempt,” he said, and I nodded.

Just then, Tamia linked me.

“Amanda is in Cains, and Jacob Mikhailov just visited her.
