Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397: 397-The Clever Girl Played Me

Rue:

I arrived after the chaos had already started. The other ringleaders were still on the premises. They had been avoiding Ian and the Crusaders, but now that everything had erupted, they had to step forward and keep the Crusaders calm.

Yorick had been taken away to the prison. However, I knew he would not face a very harsh punishment. If anyone went against the deal made with his parents, the entire concept of the North and the academy would shatter.

His parents were very influential, something I had only learned after coming to the academy.

But I had another purpose now. I had to solidify the claims against him.

When I arrived at the hall, I could already tell that the Crusaders were arguing. They were ready to defend Yorick because Oriana did not have a good reputation. And I knew why. She was a messy one.

"Everyone, please calm down," I said as I entered, raising my hands to stop them.

They had been rude to the other ringleaders, but the moment they saw me, they began to calm down.

"Miss Rue, did you hear what happened?" Mira asked as she stepped forward. I gave her a gentle nod.

"That is crazy. Yorick would never do something like that," Troy hissed, his arms folded over his chest as he stood there, tense and ready to defend his squadmate.

"Listen to me, everyone," I told them, taking deep and heavy breaths. "I know everything. I know all the accusations," I continued calmly, as if I were shaken myself.

"No, we are not going to stay calm. This is getting out of hand. First they sent Clementine out there, and now they are accusing one of us of such a disgusting crime without proper evidence?" Ian snapped. His hands moved in gestures, pointing nowhere in particular, then toward where Yorick had been.

"There is evidence," I said.

The moment I spoke, they fell silent and stared at me. Every pair of eyes was fixed on me.

"And there is an eyewitness," I added.

They exchanged looks. I could tell they were scared. If Yorick had really done what he was accused of, their trust in each other would shatter.

"What is the evidence?" Haiden asked, stepping forward to take control.

Joshua sat in the corner near the table, looking uninterested in the chaos, while the others were clearly losing their minds. Even Sebastian and Renee acted as if they had known Yorick their whole lives and would defend him without question. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"They tested the dagger," I said. "They ran tests on Oriana too, and she was..." I paused, acting as if the words were hard to say.

They looked horrified.

"I do not trust her. She is unstable. She could have done this to herself," Ian said, speaking up first.

"I know," I replied. "But he was holding the dagger from the other side. He even struck her under the chin."
