Love4FictionSome betrayals are born from greed... and others from fear 💔⚖️ Tonight gave us conspiracies, hidden payments, fallen nobles, and one very uncomfortable reminder that justice is rarely as simple as it seems 😭 Because on paper, the soldiers were guilty. They took the money. They abandoned their posts. People died because of it. And yet... How many of us can truly say we would choose duty over the people we love when the price is our family's lives? 🥺 I think that was the question hanging over the entire chamber tonight. Not whether they had sinned. But whether mercy and justice can exist in the same verdict ✨ As always, thank you for reading, commenting, voting, and supporting the story. Seeing your thoughts after each chapter genuinely makes my day 🤍 So, please do send me your comments. See you in the next chapter 💞

Second chance at happiness What he is thinking…I doubt even he knows…
Gustav turned to Harrison, “Do you have Elymus repens here?”Harrison frowned, turning a confused gaze towards Alex.“Couch grass… witch grass… what do you call it here?” Gustav asked impatiently.“Yes, fields full.” Harrison responded respectfully.“Get me ten fresh bundles before an incense stick burns through.”Harrison was about to follow Gustav’s orders when his voice rang out once again.“Remember to ask the ones gathering the grass that they have to clean…the baskets or whatever they use to collect the grass also has to be clean… if cleaning isn’t a possibility, then spread clean linen in the carrier before putting the grass.”Harrison acknowledged with a nod before hurrying off to carry out the orders.“Do you need us to bring a bed or chaise?” Jerome asked as he looked around. The room was set-up with furniture to serve as a tea parlour; there was nothing other than a swing where they could lie Mira down… even the swing would not be comfortable to lie on for an extended period
Second chance at happiness As long as you think it will help our little girl… nothing else matters.
Gustav frowned, asking to no one in particular, “Then why did you volunteer?”“As long as you think it will help our little girl… nothing else matters.” Harry shrugged.“About that…” Gustav paused, he ran his hand through his goatee, “… I can’t promise that it will.”Harry raised his eyebrows, disappointment flashed through his eyes, then he shrugged, “at least you have a plan… that is one better than what I can do.”Everyone else nodded, as they plopped themselves on the space available around them, whether it was disappointment or fatigue only they knew… maybe a bit of both… but they were not done trying.“Wait here and I will call you when I am ready or follow me…” Gustav shrugged, deciding to leave this family that he never could quite understand to their devices.He could truly never understand this lot... not even if he tried. So why bother? In his world, everything had limits and a price tag… family, loyalty, and everything in between. Why say more? Even righteousness came with
Second chance at happiness I didn’t want to wake up if the price was my son’s happiness.
Once they had achieved their objective, they didn’t loiter any longer. They soon set off on their return journey once Jerome returned the borrowed objects.“The arrangement of the stones is the reverse of what we used to open it,” Seb, who was at the back of the group, shouted.Humphrey, who was standing in front of the stone door, stepped back with a shrug, “I wasn’t paying attention.”“I will give it a try…” Wilkin stepped forward and arranged the stones in the reverse order of what he remembered.The stone rolled aside exactly as expected. Those who entered waited till everyone was inside before pulling the lever for the stone to roll back in place. By the time the stone rolled back, Taro was already at the front. He rearranged the bricks into an entirely different pattern, and the stone slid to the side.“Trust our big brother to never take an opponent’s intelligence for granted.” Humphrey chuckled. The joke was not lost on anyone and they all laughed. Alex was never one to underes
Second chance at happiness With my charisma, even if I don't try, people love me...
The return journey met far less resistance, but that didn't mean it was a walk in the park. The only silver lining was that no one had been seriously injured.“Let’s not head straight back.” Elias cautioned. He looked around, “Ideally we could circle around, but I am also curious to hear the street chatter about the events at the border.”He paused, his lips curling slyly as his gaze turned to his youngest brother, “considering we have someone who can handle the language easily, this shouldn’t be hard right?”“Piece of cake.” Jerome winked, he too was curious, but he turned to Gustav and Zelda, “Would this cause any problems with the stash we collected? And will the delay affect Mira's healing?” He fired questions one after the other.“The stash… they are good for another 100 years if they are left as is.” Zelda’s lips lifted proudly.“Mira’s healing, however, can’t afford to wait that long.” Gustav added with a playful smirk; He paused, before continuing, “however another one or two h
Second chance at happiness Wouldn’t have it any other way
Taro and Lael slowly walked out of the cave; however, they were no longer dressed as they usually did. Instead, they wore long robes very similar to the attire of the Eastern Kingdom, with hoods covering their faces and leaving only narrow slits for their eyes.They surveyed the area before nodding towards the rest who were hiding in the cave. They too walked out, their attire similar to that of Taro and Lael. While Taro had been fiddling with the door, Lael quietly fetched robes from the hidden compartment, distributed them according to size, and returned the spare ones to their original place.Similar to their side of the cave, this end was also on the edge of the forest. They quietly followed Seb who had a map drawn out on sheepskin. They moved swiftly and cautiously for more than an hour before reaching the estate, which was not only heavily guarded but also had high walls like a fortress.Normally, they would have surveyed the estate and formulated a plan first. Today, however, th
Second chance at happiness I am going to rob someone.
Lady Luck didn't seem to favour anyone in particular. Even though they diligently went from one apothecary to the next, no one managed to find even a single stalk. Still, they continued onward, each hoping the others had better luck.Matthew and John had just come out of the fifteenth shop when they saw a red and green flare light the skies above in the far east direction.“I need to head back.” Matthew spoke with urgency. “Come, I will drop you back at Southamberston and head there…”“Southamberston is on the way,” he added, seeing John about to protest.“No… I meant I am coming.” John pursed his lips into a stubborn line.“Not on my life…” Matthew shook his head, “I have no idea what’s up ahead.”“Alright… Get your brother-in-law’s permission and come.” Seeing John refusing to budge, Matthew could only bring out Alex.John followed grudgingly. He knew there was no point arguing. Perhaps he could trick Alex into agreeing, just like he had in their younger days…Matthew didn’t wait for
Second chance at happiness Your apology is too heavy for this old woman…. Keep it.
On the way back, Mira told Jackson that she wanted to stop by the village supply shop and buy something for his aunt and family. She had borrowed some money from her father but didn’t tell him.“Let’s do it another day.” Jackson couldn’t wait to get home and be alone with his wife. The other reason
Second chance at happiness Liking you was my choice.
Jackson pursed his lips. He didn’t know whether to believe or not. He had also read about rebirth and reincarnation in ancient texts…. But they were all myths…. No one had ever reported or seen anyone proof.“I don’t want you to make a hasty decision.” Mira smiled. “I will give you a small proof.”
Second chance at happiness You think I was bested by four crooks?
Mira felt a small light lighting her path in the darkness. She wondered if she was being guided on the way to hell for her deeds. She stepped in the path lighted by the small light. She was ready… she deserved it….Her life flashed past as she followed the small light engulfed in the darkness aroun
Second chance at happiness I have received my retribution
In a forsaken corner of the city stood an old forgotten cabin. Inside the wooden cabin that was dark, dingy and stinky, a figure was slouched on the floor like a piece of rag. The wind howled relentlessly protesting the injustice and brutality, but the cloudy sky seemed like heavens closed its eyes
