Chapter 339 339. Your Grandpa Tried To Kill Me As Well
Before I could digest this, your grandpa looked at your father. \'You should have listened to me. Now wait till I turn your son into the king I want.\' Your grandpa said sinisterly, no guilt, no remorse.
With that he left, unaware of my presence and witness to this scene. However it was short lived, cause he went to erase the CCTV footage and replace it with an edit of the Grey death group entering and leaving.
He immediately came running back to the room where I was hugging and crying my eyes out at your father\'s death.
\'Dare you utter even a single word outside.\' I heard him speaking from behind. But I was definitely not going to take it this way. Though we were against violence but that didn\'t mean we deserved deaths and injustice.
\'I will announce that you murdered my husband, your own son! I will not stay quiet until he receives justice.\' I said fiercely.
\'Who would believe you, not even your own son, not to mention the outsiders. Try if you want but it would never be useful, instead people would call you a maniac.\' Your grandpa had replied.
And he was true. When I simply mentioned that your grandpa is bad, you shouted back at me for the first time. The seven year old you was too young to understand murder and conspiracy.
But your grandpa didn\'t stop there. When he started realising that I was gathering witness for your father\'s murder, he tried killing me as well. Afterall the power behind that useless throne had blinded him.
I planned to take you with me, but you were hellbent to stay with grandpa. In fact you informed him about my plan of running away. Because of this I barely managed to save my life and escape to that island that you destroyed moments ago." Lady Amyra finally stopped speaking, her breath a little faster, as her eyes turned back towards the now destroyed island before looking back at the professor.
The professor stayed quiet. In fact Jason and his teams were crossing the battlefield, with Kizy in between but the Professor didn\'t even move a single inch.
His brain was way too cloudy to pay attention to Kizy for whom this entire battle was fought.
"Why didn\'t you show this video to me earlier?" The Professor asked.
"This video was retrieved by Satan recently. To stop this fight, he had gone to great lengths, coding decoding and what not to find this missing tape from decades ago.
I would have agreed to meddle this fight even without the video. But this tape gave me confidence to face you and show you what the reality was." Lady Amyra said, her breath returning to normal.
"Aithan, don\'t turn reality down when everything is presented in front of you. Accept it, son." Lady Amyra said, her tone softening.
The professor was quiet for almost a moment before he roared, shouting his heart out at being betrayed by his grandpa whom he trusted the most.
"How! How can he do that to me!!" He shouted, unable to believe that he had been sharing shelter for years with the same person who had murdered his father.
"Calm down Aithan. Nobody could have expected him to turn out like this. But at least you now know the truth. It\'s high time you leave his rotten ideology, son. Let\'s start again." Lady Amyra said, placing a hand on the Professor\'s shoulder.
"But mom-" The professor said in a low, shaky voice, his shock visible.
"Let\'s start by apologising to them." Lady Amyra said while pointing towards Jason\'s group who was midway towards their Markus.
The professor didn\'t move from his place but simply watched the group, and Kizy who was present in the centre, looked no less beautiful even after going through all this.
"Satan does not want anything except for his wife and her safety. You were chasing the wrong girl all this time, Aithan, and that too with utterly wrong methods.
She is already married and pregnant with someone else\'s child. You can not have her, no matter how much you love her son. What she and her husband share for each other is mutual. We should never force our feelings on others." Lady Amyra said and paused
"Let\'s apologise together. And I am there with you. We will build this kingdom together, and search for someone who is meant to be yours." Lady Amyra said to which the professor finally nodded.
Nobody could understand how much this single nod meant. The professor, who had been taught nothing but cruelty all his life was suddenly asked to forget that teaching and start being a polar opposite person. No one could easily accept that, but thankfully he was smart enough to think rationally even under these circumstances.
"Let me apologise for my mistakes. You don\'t have to do the same though. Stay here, I\'ll be right back. You have a lot to cover up for the past few years." Aithan finally said in a heavy tone, accepting his fate the way it had turned.
Maybe it was his mother\'s return after so many years, or maybe the video clip. But it somehow made him a little more human.
"Stop." He said while walking towards Jason\'s group.
Jason and his group, who had been moving carefully towards Markus instantly stopped in tracks, their guards high.
All of them immediately took a defensive stance against the Professor, putting Kizy in the centre.
Aitha did nothing but simply walked ahead until he was at a ten step distance from Jason, who was leading the group.
He searched a little before his gaze finally landed on Kizy, who looked back at him with mixed feelings but mainly hatred and fear.
"Sorry." He said before turning back and moving towards his mother, shocking the entire group, especially Kizy.
