The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 162 – End Book 1 – ~Tamia~

The hall was silent after Neil’s punishment was explained. I knew it was horrific, and Leo looked at me, knowing I was the one that must have told Sylvester about the silver bath. I smiled and looked away.

I watched them take Neil away and felt nothing for the bastard. He was a silent devil, and he had wasted lives. Iris was in jail because of him, and she will be there for the better part of her lifetime.

Sylvester and I had decided all those that acted in a way that cost lives would have to die while the schemers that did not kill or cause anyone’s death would be sentenced to a long jail time. Because of this decision. We were clear on who would die and live long enough to get a second chance.

Ramsey was brought before us, and I could see the resignation in his eyes. He knew precisely what would happen.

“Ramsey Richford, your actions almost created a war in our world. It pitted the south and east against the north, and it would have been explosive had it not been for the peaceful nature of Leonardo Abert.

The stunt you pulled with the help of your daughter cost lives. I am disappointed in you because you have done this in the past. As head alpha of the east, you made innocent pack members pay for your crime. This shows me that you will do it again if given an opportunity.

You teamed up with the enemy to overthrow my father and failed. Then you did it again to try to overthrow me. I will not allow you to remain on the surface of this earth because I know if given the opportunity, you will do it again.

I hereby sentence you to death by hanging in broad daylight under the sun. The noose will remain on your neck until no more life is left in you. While your life force seeps away slowly, I hope you have the heart to repent and maybe find favour in the eyes of the goddess,” I said, and everyone knew how excruciating that would be.

It was still quicker than what would happen to Larry. Larry’s punishment was worse because he would beg for death, but it would never come. It was a very terrible thing.

Ramsey apologised for his crimes, accepted the punishment, and then looked at me.

“Your Majesty, I have wronged you the most. I want to plead for your forgiveness. First, I took your parents from you at a young age and helped my daughter ruin your marriage and home. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me one day,” He said with his head bowed, and even though tears welled up in my eyes from the memories that flashed in my mind, I held them. Never again would I shed a tear for the things in my past. My future was bright now. There was no looking back.

Ramsey apologised to Leo, and I knew it was hard for Leo to look at him.

Ramsey was taken away, and finally, Amanda was brought before the council. Sylvester had kept her for last because he wanted me to sentence her.

“This is where I will hand over to my queen,” Sylvester said calmly, and Amanda began to laugh.

She knew exactly what would happen.
