Larissa's Game of Thrones (Larissa) novel Chapter 798

Tawny fell silent.

After a long silence, she spoke, her voice laced with bitterness. "My life should have ended a long time ago. I was born in a poor village to parents who only valued their sons. They sent me to live with my aunt and uncle, who worked tirelessly to put me through college. But before I could ever repay them, they died in a flood. I was about to jump into the sea when Wynn found me. He saved me, nearly getting swept away by the waves himself."

"He told me that my life was his to save, and if I ever wanted to end it, I had to get his permission. That's why I've held on for so long, even after all this."

"But I can't do it anymore. I can't see the light anymore. Jedidiah threatened me. If I didn't obey, he could have Wynn killed at any time. So I've been good. But lately, I can tell he's getting tired of me. My death shouldn't affect Wynn now. In fact, my being alive is what keeps him trapped in all these rumors."

She had even prepared a suicide note. In it, she would explain everything, clearing Wynn's name. She would say that she had been the one who betrayed him, choosing a richer, more powerful man out of greed.

"No," Larissa said firmly. "Your light is still there. He's still trying to shine for you."

Tawny gave a bitter laugh. "What's the use? I'm tainted. I can't even stand to look at myself. Even if you save me, what then? I'll never be able to forget what happened."

Larissa didn't offer any platitudes. "Tawny, don't be so quick to die. First, film ‘Heaven's Will’ with me. Help me clear Wynn's name. After that, you can decide if this world is still worth living in. From this day on, I will protect you. But if, after all is said and done, you still choose that path, my protection will end."

…

His subordinate understood immediately. "I'll make the arrangements at once. If Larissa doesn't learn her place, we'll wipe her village off the map!"

The plan was simple: they would start planting wanted criminals in the village, manufacturing evidence that the entire place was a haven for fugitives. Then, they could move in with armed forces under a legitimate pretext and eliminate everyone.

After that, he doubted Larissa would be so arrogant.

The man added slowly, "It's also time we taught the Palmers a lesson. Perhaps that cripple Haskell will finally learn to control his fiancée."
