Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0296 Lets hope it doesnt come to that , the king murmured .

His paze shifted to Alexander .

And do you believe her ? I do , Alexander agreed without hesitation .

Combined with the information our investigations have uncovered , its impossible to explain it all away .

The king nodded once .

Then, rising to his feet , he walked to the door .

Opening it just a crack , he gave the order .

Arrest Archer Gray and David Lake .

The words sent a cold chill over me .

A choked sound escaped my lips as a sudden sob rose in my throat , and I tried to swallow it down .

Alexanders hand found mine , his grip steady and reassuring .

I covered my mouth and lowered my eyes , struggling to reel in the powerful emotions crashing over me .

I could hardly believe it .

It was over .

David was going to be arrested .

What happened next was something of a blur .

Dr.

McIntyre was led out of the room , and somehow , I felt confident that she wouldnt be harmed .

She had agreed to cooperate , and the information she possessed was too valuable to risk losing- Alexander comforted me , and I was grateful for it even though it made me feel completely ridiculous .

This was exactly the outcome I had wanted , so why was I crying ? I felt like a child , but I couldnt stop for several minutes .

The king , surprisingly patient , allowed me time to compose myself .

When I finally did , my face burned with embarrassment , and I had trouble meeting his eyes .

Ive avoided discussing David directly with you , the king said , his voice softer than it had been when we arrived , I know its a sensitive matter and deeply upsetting for you I appreciate that , I said weakly .

But weve reached a point where we need to put all our cards on the table .

I need to know everything you have on David anything that could help bring him down .

He has allies , powerful ones , and theyll resist this no matter how much proof we gather .

Of course , I said , nodding .

Ill do everything I can .

I know you will .

His expression was unreadable .

For now , I need a list of anyone questionable in his circle- anyone who might be involved in this game of his .

I didnt hesitate .

Do you have a pen and paper ? Without a word , he turned and walked back toward the table , opening a drawer I hadnt noticed before .

He retrieved a notebook and pen , placing them in front of me .

I immediately started writing a list of every person David had associated with , both in this life and in the original timeline .

I had no definitive proof against any of them , but now that I understood what had been happening beneath the surface , it all seemed obvious .

They had to have been involved in his scheme to weaken the kingdom through the use of their false king My hand shook as I wrote , bitterness coursing through me , but I was confident in the names I compiled .

When I +25 BONUS Chapter 029 finally handed the list to the king , Alexander was beside me looking over my shoulder .

I didnt dare glance at him ..

When we stood to leave , I felt a wave of relief .

This whole ordeal had taken a far greater emotional toll on me than I had anticipated .

The car ride home was silent at first , but I could tell by Alexanders body language that he was uneasy .

Are you okay ? I finally asked , breaking the awkward silence .

Where did you get that list of names ? he asked .

His tone was strange , and I turned to stare at him , my breath catching .

It took me a long moment before I managed to answer .

Theyre just Davids friends , I said carefully .

People I believe could be helping him .

There was a look in Alexanders eyes that made my stomach twist .

He knew something something about that list .

Had I made a mistake ? Had I just revealed information I shouldnt have known ? I had slipped up before , but this time , I could tell he wasnt going to let it go .

My heart pounded as I struggled to think of a way out of this mess .
