Chapter 76: A Tyrant
"Because you are going to kill him, Damon!" there! She said it, with a calm look on her face. There was no doubt in her eyes that surprised Damon.
Even he was hesitating yet she whispered as if it was set in the stone.
"If you kill his grace, you will be announced as a tyrant. But if he is proven guilty and punished by the royal family, no one would blame you for his death. But they request you to take his position. At that time, you would be their savior." his eyes widened. And for the first time, his shock was evident in his eyes.
"What are you talking about?" he could not understand her at all. "Do you think my father would make such mistakes? Even if he did, would he let you know about them? Or is it your trick? Did your sister ask you to convince me to make a fool out of me? Olivia, death is the only punishment for crossing me!" Instead of feigning ignorance, he warned her with cold eyes, giving up on all her pretence.
Olivia took a deep breath.
"The marquis would be soon convinced that his grace is not fit to handle the position anymore. But he would not take the blame. You will suffer, Damon. But what if I offer you help?"
"What help?" For someone who had never met Marquis, Olivia was oddly calm and well versed with his thoughts. Damon knew that his uncle would never take the blame for him. But he did not understand how Olivia knew that.
"I will tell you your grace’s sins. But it is upto you how you find their proof." Damon’s eyes narrowed.
"It smells like a trap." Olvia bit her lips. She knew he would not trust her. That was the only reason she was stalling for time.
