The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 192

~Sylvester~

After the discussion on the phone, Lucas Sidorov had promised to come by the following day so he could examine the coin. The news baffled Marcel so much that he wasn't enthusiastic about returning to his wing to spend time with his family.

"We need to tell Theo, Dominic and David," I told him, and he agreed with me.

I was about to link them when Tamia linked me.

"Where are you? Is it over an hour past family time? Is everything alright?" She linked me, and I did not know if I should tell her or wait to confirm certain things before divulging the issue.

We promised to be open to each other no matter what, so I opted to tell her when we were together.

"I will tell you later. Something came up. Leo brought something from the east, and we are trying to figure out its origin." I told her, and she was silent.

"Is it something serious?" She linked.

"Maybe and maybe not. I am not sure at the moment, so I plan on keeping it quiet until we know," I replied as honestly as I could.

"I hope it is an adventure. Those council meetings are beginning to bore me, " She teased, and it made me chuckle a bit.

I could understand her take on that.

Honestly, I was bored with the monthly and sometimes weekly routine. Things were less tedious when I was lord.

Tamia and I had decided to delegate some of our duties to the council and increase their power, but we had yet to decide what to give them. After our last experience, it was only wise we are careful.

"I will join you later, green-eyes," I linked my wife, and that was the end of the conversation.

I linked Leo, Theo, David and Dominic to join Marcel and me in my lounge.

Leo requested that Max could join us, and I obliged.

I did not know his relevance in the discussion, but I obliged because Leo was a loyal friend.

I couldn't deny a simple request because I couldn't be mean to someone who fought for me to take the throne.

I could not forget that day in the council hall.

Leo was annoyed, and he scared a lot of people.

I had thought he was weak, but our adventure together made me realise otherwise.

My only advantage over the guy was that I was a Volkov, and now that I knew he had begun training with silver, I could not be sure of his limits.

Overall, Leo wasn't a good enemy to have, so I was grateful he was my friend and a loyal one at that.

As for Max, I was indifferent, but unfortunately, I had to be sceptical because of how he behaved with his wife. He seemed remorseful compared to Kyle.

Marcel and I head to the lounge.

Leo and Max were the first to arrive before the rest.

I noticed Leo looked more relaxed than he was when he arrived.

I did not need to guess why; he reeked of Amelia.

As much as Leo might want to lie to himself, he cared for the woman.

I could tell from his body language and how he looked at her, but people like Leo are best left to admit their truth.
