Chapter 223: Game One (3)
He was afraid that his omega father would do something riskier now that he had already found out who was the culprit behind his late father’s death. The probability of it happening was almost absolute, so he chose to hide it as long as he could.
Spade had forgotten that Empress Liviera had ears inside his forces, and it was only a matter of time before he discovered the truth.
Empress Liviera’s face was pale, despite the aggressiveness in his expression, and his hands also trembled, getting weaker with each passing minute, but his breath became hurried, indicating that something was already wrong with his condition.
"Please?" Spade again pleaded, begging for his father to understand him.
Empress Liviera was taken aback at first by this kind of tone, which even he had never heard from his son before. He admitted that after all these years, they had grown apart.
Somehow, a whisper deep inside of him told him to back down for now and think it over. Spade would most definitely have his reasons; his son wouldn’t betray him, and he would fulfill his promise.
However, that part that was influenced by his hatred and anger had already become victorious over his mind. He ignored that plea, and after a momentary pause, the aggressiveness in his eyes didn’t cease but instead became fiercer.
A furious roar came from the Empress once more.
"Why are you begging? You are the emperor! And now you’re pleading for these traitors? Spade, aren’t you ashamed even one bit?" It seemed Spade’s begging for him to rest and calm down had triggered something inside the Empress.
He tried to pull his hand away from his cousin again, and as he finally grew annoyed, His anger also extended to her, and he yelled at her face. "Why are you stopping me? You know how much I suffered all these years. And now you’re siding with them?"
The one holding her almost loosened, but as though determined, she tightened her hold on his arm. She was obviously guilty, as she didn’t raise her gaze or dare to meet Liviera’s eyes.
