Chapter 84: Chapter 84
ALPHA GREYSON (Part 10)
But things became much more complicated when Elder Mateo accused Mrs. Clea of spreading the accusations against Amara. It greatly affects Amara. Mrs. Clea is her friend; therefore, I understand her emotions.
"What should we do, your Majesty?" Elder Raymond worriedly questioned as I considered the plan.
"Everyone will believe you're on the wrong side if you try to protect Mrs. Clea. They could use this as an excuse to dethrone you! Perhaps we should just let it all go and wait for the appropriate moment to strike!" Elder Raymond proposed. My jaw clenched.
"I can't let Amara... get into this," I replied quietly. If I take it any longer, Amara will get angrier with me. Damn it!
"But..." I sprang up and prepared to respond before he could speak. I went downstairs in stealth to see Mrs. Clea. As I saw them torment Mrs. Clea, I couldn't help but feel enraged. I just stopped when Miguel spoke.
"What are we going to do if she doesn't confess?" Miguel asked Mateo.
"That's no longer a problem, Phillip; her execution will still take place tomorrow, and your father told me that he will go to the palace to finish everything; this kingdom will be ours soon," Mateo remarked evilly.
Will Dylan be here tomorrow?
I told Mrs. Clea I could help her escape, but she refused. Because of that, the only thing I can do is to plan well for tomorrow.
But I don't plan to involve Amara in this chaos. However, I was thoughtless. I was able to get rid of Dylan and Mateo, but Miguel escaped. But that's not what I'm thinking. As the doctor informed me that we had lost the child, my mind went blank. We lost the baby. It feels worse than the pain I had when I was younger. All I could see was darkness. I was numbed, but the pain was killing me.
But I know I have to be strong for both of us. Amara... She was stressed and blamed herself for what happened when it was entirely my fault. If only I had been more cautious. If I was only... darn it!
And as time passes, I feel more and more distance between us. She's building this barrier between us. She is attempting to get away from me. And it bothers me. It hurts much more when she says she wants to die. What about me? I'd be completely lost without her. I can't imagine my life without her. That's why, when she opted to leave and travel to Rema Kingdom, I let her go, thinking it would calm her down, thinking that after all of this… she'll return to me.
I spent the entire day at my office after watching her leave. I never expected Miguel to walk into my office wearing a dark cloak and disguise himself. I stood up because of his sudden entrance. How did he get here? Didn't anyone notice him?! However, then... he's been with me since I was young... He has to know and memorize all of the hidden portals here.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" I couldn't keep my voice from becoming enraged. Has he forgotten about his betrayal of me? Is he oblivious to the fact that he nearly ruined Amara? We also lost our child because of him!
He removed his cloak and stared me down. He'd altered drastically. He aged. The wrinkles on his brow are more visible than previously. He also looks like he lost weight.
"I'm not here to fight or... cause more trouble for you, your Majesty," he replied in a strained voice. My jaw clenched.
"Of course not; I'll kill you before you can even touch me," I answered forcefully, approaching him without hesitation. I drove him up against the wall with my speed and might. I pressed him against the wall while holding his neck. In pain, he winced. I could only see red. I want to murder him.
"L-Luna Amara… is in danger…" he said with difficulty. I was stunned there. I loosened my grip on him. I let go of him, and he fell to the ground. What did he say?
"We don't have much time, so I can't explain everything to you right now; I can only give it to you..." he stated as he laid a piece of paper on the floor. I stood there calmly watching him. I didn't say anything when Miguel suddenly left in front of me. He just jumped out of my office window. At the same moment, the soldiers entered my office and inquired about the ruckus they had heard inside.
I took up the paper and began reading it.
Your, Majesty... I'm sure you'll never forgive me... I'm not going to apologize because I know it won't be enough to make up for what I've done. I apologize if I let you down. I apologize if I offended you. I realize these words are pointless... But I regret it. The reality is... I had no intention of being a part of Dylan's plan. My real motive for murdering the Ramirez family was a desire for identification... I wanted to get away from my father. I don't want to be a misfit. That's why I was so happy when I entered the palace… and when I met your majesty. And I was beyond happy when I met Shena... the woman I loved the most. And, indeed... Luna Amara knows her. Just like the two of us... they are friends. But I didn't accept it when Shena opted to save Luna Amara with that Omega. And my rage grew much stronger when that old man killed Shena. My loathing grew stronger. I was blinded by rage and planned to exact revenge on Luna Amara because I was looking for someone to blame. But now I'm determined to do the right thing. I want to do what Shena wants me to do. And it's to keep Luna Amara safe. You have to move now. Dylan is still alive, and he intends to kill Luna Amara. If you're reading this, I'm almost certainly on my way to rescue Luna Amara... Please follow her and bring her home. This is the most I can do for you, your Majesty. And I will gladly do it... even if it means losing my life...
I dropped the paper on my desk and dashed out of the castle without a second thought. I could hear my men calling to me, but I ignored them as if I hadn't heard them. Fuck! Damn! How could this be... That Dylan is still alive?
But it was too late for me. When Amara let go of my hand, I felt like I was dying of pain. I felt as if I died when I lost her. I had lost my child, and now I have lost my wife. I wanted to go with them... But the possibility that she was still alive kept me going. So... I promised myself that I would spend the rest of my life looking for Amara... even if it took me years.
