The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 157 – ~Sylvester~

I was finally complete. I held my wife in my arms while she slept and looked at my mark on her neck. A week had passed since the wedding, but everything still felt new.

I couldn’t get enough of her, and Knight had become demanding. This was the bliss I had hoped for, and somehow fate had granted it to me. With our enemies caught and locked up, we had nothing to worry about anymore, except something new that might spring up someday, but right now, we were having our bliss.

Although Marcel was happy about his union, I knew his father’s condition still bothered him. We all had questions that needed answers, and the only way we could get them was by interrogating Lucas.

It was really weird. The man was like my uncle, and we respected him greatly. To question him like a criminal felt wrong and alien, but he had committed a crime and needed to explain what really happened. His only saving grace was that Larry took responsibility for the event at the Inn. Still, nonetheless, he was the one that acted out.

I did not want to hear something that would make me unsettled. I had just claimed my mate and completed my life, I did not want to learn of anything that would rob me of my bliss, but it was inevitable. We tried hard to wrap things up before our wedding but couldn’t. A lot had spilt over. Deciding not to question all the criminals was lazy but the best move.

We really did not need all their testimonies. As things were, Larry was the only one that needed questioning. He was the one with the master plan. He only fed the people what he wanted them to know, so we won’t be on to him when the information leaks.

He was fearless about it, and he did not need questions. The pouch filled with silver dust he held in his hands that day in his house in Gad gave him the effrontery to spill his guts. He told us the truth without remorse thinking his victory was a given. We did not need to prompt or question him. He had told us everything.

Everyone would have to pay the price of treason for whatever reason. Whether justifiable or not, treason was a crime punishable by death. Tamia had told me we could only lock up so many people. We cannot waste taxpayers’ money feeding criminals who want to destroy our world’s peace.

A mass execution would have to occur, sparing only people that might be important in the future for information purposes but keeping them locked up.
