Chapter 520
Chapter 520 Is Beatrice a Hated Moon Queen Now?
After the brothers told Zane that they suspected Beatrice for something so heinous, we had to leave the mansion to find the gun he had used to kill Gwen.
I wasn’t satisfied with how they handled this whole situation. In fact, I was so angry that I was just following them to laugh in their faces when it turned out that Beatrice was innocent. I understand they were upset about Gwen’s untimely death. I went too. But that didn’t mean Beatrice had to die with her.
“Aren’t you going to say anything?”
Reign commented as we sat together in the back seat of the car while Akin was the one driving it.
Helel stayed at the mansion with Zane and Beatrice to make sure they didn’t run away from the scene.
“What do you expect me to say?” I turned to her angrily, looking into her eyes, but she kept stealing my gaze.
“I don’t think you two realize how much you’re hurting her,” I commented, watching Akin finally park the car on the side of the road and take a deep breath.
And what did he do to us? What do you have to say about it, Colt? Reign sounded so different from before. She used to have a lot of faith in Beatrice, but now she acted like she was sure that Beatrice killed Gwen and also did all the other horrible things.
“Do you think she is capable of all the bad things that come her way?” I asked, and she rolled her eyes. “She is a doomsday lover. If anything, she’s the most capable,” his statement made me clench my jaw and get out of the vehicle angrily. I didn’t want to sit down with those who don’t even want to make sure first if Beatrice is doing all that of her own free will or if they’re blackmailing her into doing it.
The two came out behind me, but Akin was silent all this time. “Foal! We don’t have time for this. We have to go get the weapon that was used against Gwen,” Reign hissed, shaking his head at me for delaying.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Then you should go. I’m not going to any mountain,” I announced, and watched Akin nod. “Do you have another important thing to do?” Reign seemed so relaxed, but so different.
“What is Reign? Is this some kind of quest for you? Aren’t you even a little upset because on the receiving end of all these horrible accusations is our Beatrice? I screamed once that I couldn’t take it anymore.“And where the hell are we headed? Do you think he killed her in the mountains and then waited to give himself her body? She was starting to lose her mind with the ease with which they were convinced just because she was caught having an affair with Zane.
It was as if they only defended her when they knew she was their Beatrice. I tracked the gun with Gwen’s blood. It’s in the mountains and I know exactly where it is. If you don’t believe anything, wait for me to prove that Beatrice was the last one to wield that weapon. I understand your loyalty to her, but Colt, that doesn’t excuse Gwen’s murder. She was a new mother. She deserved to live,” Reign’s words made me lower my head and feel bad about how reluctant she was to find her killer.
Or maybe because Beatrice’s silence scared me and made me think that maybe she was blackmailed into killing her. “Now, should we leave before someone else finds the dagger and hides it again? Gwen deserves justice,” Reign said quietly.
There was no reason for me to fall behind now. So, I nodded and got in the car with her. He truly believed that Beatrice was still innocent. However, I have decided to let them find out for themselves.
We reach the mountains; I stayed in the cave while the two left to grab the dagger.
Once the two returned, I assumed that they had found the dagger. Somehow it worried me. If they were so precise about the location of the dagger, they must have some solid evidence against Beatrice.
“Hey,” Reign gently pressed my hand as he looked out the window. “When will we know who killed her?” I asked, not turning around to look into her eyes.
“In the morning,” Reign said. I am grateful to her for being patient with me. I have had multiple tantrums during the course of our trip to the mountains. Now I just lacked energy. “Do you hate her?” I looked out the back window to question Akin directly. He remained silent before letting out a deep sigh. I don’t know what Zane showed him that broke his heart so much, but he had never seen Akin so silent.
He had managed not to utter a single word or participate in any conversation.
“By the way, Bernard told us a few things,” Reign managed to change the topic, “Shiloh lied about not having a predestined companion before you.”
I wasn’t surprised, really. I was there when Bernard was talking to Reign. From her memory, Shiloh seemed like a very good companion and a kind-hearted girl. I wonder what changed.As I focused on his behavior, I began to see similarities between his actions and Beatrice’s.
“Is it just me or is Beatrice acting like Shiloh now?” as she made that comment, Reign turned to look at my face for a few seconds in silence.
“Foal! Do us a favor and keep an eye on Shiloh and Jay, but don’t let them know anything Bernard said. Make it seem normal and focus on their questions, especially what they want to know about Beatrice,” that was the first time in hours Akin spoke and the way he said his name. I didn’t hear any hatred in his tone.
Just worry.
