Chapter 386: Dark mories 2 (Ch.386)

"My fa..." Neveah began again but trailed off, breathing a heavy sigh.

"Lothaire was many things, but above all, he was a smart man and he understood how the minds of n in power worked and how to manipulate them. "

"He would begin with a bait for the lure, a bright and shiny package that he knew no greedy, power hungry man could turn away from," Neveah shook her head slightly.

"It was no surprise to

when he declared that the entertainnt of the night was to be a friendly combat amongst the Alphas present."

"The price awarded to the winner was tricky, whoever won could ask for anything from Lothaire and on his honor as Alpha King, he was obliged to comply with the request." The words were still difficult for Neveah to say but she found the more she spoke, the easier it beca.

The mories were still terrible to recount, but Neveah felt the slightest sense of detachnt, as though her mind was slowly registering the fact that the Neveah then no longer existed.

"It was a great price, a blank slate. Surely all these powerful n did have sothing they desperately wanted from the Eclipse Alpha King."

"It took

one look around the hall to realize that each of those Alphas present had sothing in common, the very reason they were the ones chosen to stay behind." Neveah recounted.

"Well sothing other than being greedy, self absorbed and lustful wolves. Each of them had previously been involved in a dispute about expanding their territory to encompass the coveted hectares of fertile lands far in the Eastern borders."

"This dispute had been resolved a few months before when my fa... Lothaire, laid official claim to those lands as the laws allow for territories in dispute, making it so that none of these Alphas had gotten their hands on it in the end."

"I reckon it was a fact that had angered them for years." Neveah sniffled and narx rubbed a hand down her back to soothe her.

"And this is where Lothaire spun his sche, because those very lands in question had just been granted to

as a birthday gift, by him in front of the hundreds of guests who had graced the ball."

"And all of these n had been there to hear it, to know that the territory they desired was by law, in my na now."

"Of course, they battled. Fiercely, taking out one another to an inch of life left while my father watched the show with morbid delight...until there was only Alpha Wren standing."

"And when Alpha Wren made his request, guess what he asked for?" Neveah asked in a low tone.

"You guessed right, he asked for those lands. And an Alpha King never breaks his given word, you see? Lothaire played the helpless card, though there were many witnesses to his promise."

"No one could counter with Lothaire’s reasoning, it was unbecoming to take back a gift he had just given the very sa day. But that only ant it was all in my hands."

"Alpha Wren was no dim witted man, he knew the lands were no longer in Lothaire’s hands and he could not reclaim what had already been given to ."

"Hence Alpha Wren made a counter offer, of sothing else he wanted in place of those lands even if we all knew clearly that there was nothing that could be exchanged for them." Neveah chuckled in derision.

"He asked to be granted a royal pardon, to be used whenever he deed it fit. A royal pardon ant he would not be convicted of a cri if he ever committed one ...no matter how severe."

"And I realized the cri Alpha Wren had in mind when he broke into my room that sa night... " Neveah paused again.

"Oh, Veah..." narx murmured, his heart aching.

It was a difficult part to get out for Neveah and so she needed a breath.

"With a royal pardon in the bag, one could get away with even a cri as severe as forcefully mating the Alpha King’s daughter...it seed." Neveah’s tone was sarcastic, but it was a very unsuccessful attempt to conceal the pain hidden in every word.

"Yet at the sa ti, by our laws, a princess who has had secret affairs would be forced to marry the man in question to preserve royal honor." Neveah continue.

"My guess is, Alpha Wren planned to commit the cri, get caught, invoke the royal pardon and then take responsibility for his actions by marrying

and getting the lands either ways." Neveah continued.

"It didn’t work out so well for him since he ended up dying that night...with my dagger through his throat."

"It was only when my fa... Lothaire arrived to the scene with a knowing smirk on his lips that I realized to this had been the original plan all along."

"Of course, Lothaire played the ga well. He knew exactly what all of those Alphas wanted from him,"

"He also knew whoever won the combat would have their eyes on the only thing they could lay hands on that would grant them the lawful rights to those lands... ." Neveah paused again, clearing her throat slightly.

"He tossed

right in the middle of decades long of territory battle and smiled all through it. He smiled because he knew just as I knew that all this was bait for what he truly wanted...it was too bad everyone else was too blind in their greed to see it too."

"It was further confird when I realized Alpha Wren had already been poisoned and all that was required was a justified death that would raise no questions."

"And the most assured confirmation was when Lothaire laid claim to all the gold mine fields which had belonged to Alpha Wren seeing as he died without having an heir..."

"And there it was, my father getting exactly what he wanted without losing anything and you might wonder where all my training ca into play?" Neveah asked in a voice barely above a whisper.

"How would you reckon a fourteen year old could kill a full grown wolf, thrice my size without first lowering his defenses?" Neveah answered the question herself.
