113 A Genius


    ~Tamia~


    I knew my idea of using Amy was crazy. It wasn''t as if I trusted her, but we needed people in their


    ranks. It was a shame that Lilly did not take my kind gesture and chose to continue working against


    us. I would have spared her, but she had shown me there was nothing worth saving about her.


    I attached Kappa Wilson to Amy to get all the names of the people she knows in the organisation.


    He was to submit the names to Sylvester when he was done.


    We left the questioning room, and I linked Sylvester to find out where he was. I felt a bit tired and


    knew I needed to rest before drilling Annika and Olga.


    "Where are you?" I asked Sylvester through the mind link.


    "Still in the lounge discussing our strategy," he replied.


    "I am sending you a recording of Amy''s questioning. Make sure Devin and Leo are there because it


    involves them," I linked him, and he was silent.


    I wanted to spare him the trouble of recanting whatever he learns to Devin and Leo and move on


    with it. It was best they heard Amy''s confession so they could understand the severity of the matter.


    I emailed the voice recording to Sylvester and went to my bedroom.


    Linda and Avery left me to retire to theirs.


    I was hungry, and I needed to take a short nap.


    I shifted the questioning of Olga and Annika to the following day. As eager as I was to arrest Lilly, I


    did not want the idiot to know that we knew what she was ying at, but I had ordered Kappa Levi


    to ensure Sofia was in a more secure cell in case some people tried to break her out.


    The names were disturbing.


    Glenda''s father and Glenda were on the list. I wondered if Susan was a part of it too. The mention


    of their names made me want to look into why Susan left because the conversation between


    Glenda and Stephanie indicated Susan had no choice. It might be nothing, but we needed all the


    information we could get. Information is a weapon in an intellectual hunt, and this was an intellectual


    hunt.


    Iid down on the bed and wondered if Sylvester had received the email and if they were listening.


    "How did it go?" I heard Stephanie in my head, and it startled me a bit because she was thest


    person I expected to mind-link me.


    "Aren''t you on a date?" I asked her.


    "Tamia, you know why I took him away," she said, and I giggled.


    "It went well, but I am resting now," I replied.


    "Anything juicy?" She asked me, and I sighed.


    "She told us everything. Something like this happened during Maurice''s time," I linked her.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    "Yes, it did, Tamia, and that was why the guy went tyrant. He caught and ughtered all of them,"


    she told me, and I doubted if that was true since Amy said this king was an old man.


    "I doubt he caught all of them; Amy said the Kingman isn''t a young person," I said, and I heard a


    knock on my door. I did not need magic to know it was Stephanie.


    "It''s open" I linked her, feeling toozy to get off the bed.


    The person turned the doorknob, and Stephanie walked in, then came towards the bed, staring with


    concern.


    "You need to take it easy, Tamia," she said out of concern, and I nodded and smiled.


    I was trying to rest, but here she was, disturbing me and telling me I needed to take it easy. I kept


    my thoughts to myself and sat up in bed.


    I told her all Amy told me, especially about Iris, and she gasped.


    "Poor Jake, he will be broken by this," She said, feeling sorry for her new friend, and I nodded,


    knowing that was what would happen.


    "Why would she allow herself to be used like that? The girl is ungrateful and stupid," Stephanie


    growled, and I nodded.


    "He will have to deal with it eventually. Please let me know when they pick that Glenda bitch up,"


    she said with so much rage that Iughed.


    Learning Glenda was one of them was unsettling. She lived with us, ate, and slept in the same


    house. It was just upsetting. I did not know how Dominic would take it, but I knew he would not be


    happy.


    "Do you think we can trust Amy?" Stephanie asked me, looking concerned.


    "No, we can''t, but I n on using her regardless, and she seems to want to redeem herself in her


    son''s eyes, so let''s just see how much she wants to keep her life and redeem herself," I said, and


    she smiled.


    "You tried to do the same with Lilly." She pointed out, and I sighed.


    "That was a different case," I said, ashamed that I had entrusted the wrong person with an


    important task. I tried to brush it off.


    Knowing I did not want to discuss Lilly with her, she smiled at me.


    "I was thinking of what you said about the king guying from Maurice''s time, and I disagree. It is


    all too easy," she said, and I was attentive.


    "Sylvester is nothing like his father. Maurice was ruthless. The only reason Ramsey escaped his


    wrath was that Ramsey could prove his innocence beyond reasonable doubt and plead his case


    with the council. That was the only time Maurice hated being a lord. If he were a king, he would


    have executed Ramsey without a trial because he knew Ramsey worked against him.


    Back to what I was trying to tell you, I do not think this person is a spillover from that time. Maybe he


    is surrounding himself with some of the survivors of that time, but the mode of operation is so


    different that it is a new person altogether. He might be young or my age, but it isn''t the same


    people," she said, and I was surprised at how deeply Stephine was thinking.


    "Anyway, the good news is Leo and Devin are on board to install Sylvester as king," I said, trying to


    change the topic because I wanted to rest, and she squealed.


    "Unfortunately, we might have to keep the two Alphas here because these people have a target on


    their backs, and we do not want anything to happen to them," I said, and she frowned, not wanting


    to speak because I was tired and sleepy.


    I yed the recording of Amy''s questioning for her while I closed my eyes to rest. It wasn''t long


    after I closed my eyes that I fell asleep.


    I woke up, and it was dark. Stephanie wasn''t in my room, and Sylvester was sitting next to me with


    hisputer on hisp. He seemed calm.


    I managed to sit up gradually, and he looked at me and smiled.


    "Sorry, I did not want to wake you," He said, closing hisputer, and I smiled at him.


    "How did they take it?" I asked him about the recording, and he sighed.


    "Devin did not take it so well. But we have decided we will arrest everyone at the same time in two


    days, but they will stay in the estate in the meantime," he said.


    I wasn''tfortable with his words, but I did not say anything so Sylvester would not worry. I didn''t


    particrly appreciate Devin and Leo being in the estate. I still felt like we had unfinished business,


    and I did not want to face them yet. Most especially Leo.


    "Are you okay?" He asked me, and I nodded.


    "When will you question Amanda?" he asked me, and I had forgotten about herpletely.


    "I have shifted it all for tomorrow," I said, and he sighed.


    "What is the matter?" I asked him.


    "We are supposed to be nning our wedding, Tamia, but look at all this," he said, and I snuggled


    into his arms.


    "Do not trouble yourself, darling. I am having fun," I told him, and he gently patted my hair.


    "Marcel and Theodore suspect Jenny''s son is the culprit," he said, and I looked at him.


    "We all thought it was David, but now that we have found where he is living and realised he is on


    their list, it onlyes down to Jenny''s son," He said, and I asked him to borate.


    "Nomoner would wake up one day with a decision he wants to be king. This person is going


    after this agenda as if it is his entitlement. Calling himself a king is extreme. If it were amon


    person, he would have been satisfied with just putting the council in charge but going further to sack


    the current council and reinstate a new council while he installs himself as king speaks volumes,


    Tamia.


    The painful part about all this is how blindly these people follow this man. It is as if they are stupid,


    Tamia, and I am worried about it.


    We need to hunt down the guy. Whoever Jenny''s son is, he is still out there, and I bet he is behind


    all this. I do not think he is an older person. The elderly nature of the culprit might be a deliberate


    characteristic to throw us off his trail.


    If anything, the guy is a genius, and we should not give him too much time to recuperate after we


    have arrested everyone," he said with a strong determination. I knew he was right, but I wasn''t


    eager to discard the fact that it might be a spillover from Maurice''s time.
