Chapter 35 Visiting Horsford

I was so shocked that I could hardly speak. The news reminded me of the figure outside the door when we talked yesterday, something that made me even more sure that someone very cruel must have planned the deaths of Shirley, Gina, and Albert!
I went to the barracks again to discuss these matters with the ministers, and at the same time sent the soldiers to search the river to try to be able to find Albert or Gina's body.
Jason continued to insist that Gina was responsible for Shirley's death, and he took his reasoning and the evidence at the scene to make a further confirmation, many people in the ministry agreed with him, I was not willing to believe Jason's deduction, and I left the place to visit Forsford in prison.
"King, you're here. I'm fine here, please don't worry."
"Yes, I know, I don't want to blame you for what you did, you know, in a way what you did is exactly what I wanted to do."
Horsford smiled, a little smile finally came to his face, "Yes William, we grew up together, I know how you think, and in almost any situation I feel very confident that I will make the move you want to make!"
"Yes, but for your actions, I must punish you, and I hope to be forgiven for that."
"Of course, that's what you have to do as an Alpha!" Horsford paused for a moment and continued, "Is everything okay out there? Are you okay William?"
I lowered my head and looked at the corner, "Albert died, just yesterday, and I think Albert's death must be no accident!"
"Of course!" Horsford got a little excited, "Oh my God! Is God not willing to bless us anymore? Why do unfortunate things happen one after another!"
"Horsford, you know, God doesn't have that much time to hitch a ride with us, and this murderer is very clever, I think because Albert hurt his interests yesterday!"
Horsford looked at me in shock.
I thought about what Albert said yesterday, everything he said was about Jason, could it be that Jason was stalking Albert and hurting him!
I told Forsford my suspicions and he had a firm look on his face and said to me, "William, there must be something wrong with Jason, but there must be a goal before doing anything, what exactly is he doing this for?"
I thought hard for a while and suddenly thought of Katie, who is Jason's only real niece!
Could Jason be doing this for Katie? I was shocked, and it reminded me of a long time ago when I asked Jason about Katie.
One afternoon a year ago.
I have confirmed my succession to the Alpha, but the ceremony will take place in about a year, and Jason will undoubtedly be the Elder who will assist me, and I invited him to my mansion to discuss matters concerning the appointment and removal ceremony.
I was still tidying up my desk when Jason arrived and there was a very heavy envelope signed by Katie, which I didn't read and threw in the trash.
Jason saw it and said very plainly, "Lord William, Katie is my niece, and she seems to be giving you a lot of trouble."
I felt a little embarrassed, after all, I did not know that Katie was Jason's niece, and throwing away Katie's letter in front of him seemed to have a bad effect, but Jason saw my mood and immediately added: "Lord William, you don't have to mind, I have known about this matter for a long time, and advised Katie not to Let her write to you, we had a big disagreement because of this, I reprimanded her, and she decided to break off the relationship with me."
"You don't have to think you need to apologize to me just because we're related, after all, that relationship no longer exists!" Jason said it so firmly that I don't think his expression was acted out.
Also from then on I just ignored Jason and Katie's kinship and didn't let that influence my decision on their matter.
"William, are you thinking of something?"
Horsford's voice pulled me back from my memories and I looked at him and said seriously, "There's no doubt that while we suspect Jason had a motive to do this, we're not sure, and now that Albert has been killed, I can't put you out there again!"
"No! William, I want to help you!"
"Horsford, I'm afraid I'm the only one who can solve this matter. Now I can guess that the main purpose of the killer is Gina, and everyone who wants to explain for Gina will be killed, and I can be sure of this matter, so I won't let you go out and take the risk. If it was Jason who did this, his goal is most likely the seat of Luna! Then there is some connection to Katie! Their real relationship now I'm not sure, but there is one thing I need to investigate personally!"
"William, I can sense that this is very dangerous, please let me go out and help you!"
"No! They won't hurt me, at least not for a while! Please believe me, Forsford, I can do this right, just like when I was in danger as a child, I would stand firmly in front of you and protect you, please believe me again!"
"God! May God protect you, William! I'll pray for you in prison! But I'm going to die of boredom!"
"Hey! Dude! Don't be in a hurry! When I come to greet you again is when we get the victory! Of course, I will make your journey to prison a happy one! I won't let you feel alone!"
My tone was relaxed, but my heart was heavy, I left and could be sure that this time my whereabouts were not known by anyone, and I didn't want Forsford to get hurt anymore!
I decided to hold Shirley and Gina's funeral in two days, and there is one more thing to decide, King Adolf is coming to visit here soon, and it won't work without a Luna in the pack! I thought it would be a good idea to let Amber take Luna's place for a while because I didn't want her to be the target in the eyes of the enemy after Luna.
Having thus decided, I returned to my mansion, went into Amber's room, and told her the news. She embraced me and pressed my face to her soft breasts, and she gently stroked my head, making me feel a tenderness I had not felt for a long time.
She said in a soft voice: "My dear, you have worked hard, I hope that in my case you do not need to have a lot of worries, no matter what the position is, it is not as important to me as being by your side, my greatest sorrow is to see you hurt."
All the emotions I had these days of exhaustion, pain, and worry appeared in my brain at the same time and turned into tears in my eyes. I stopped thinking about my alpha image and released all my negative emotions in the gentle embrace of Amber.
I fell asleep without realizing it, I slept peacefully, I had a wonderful dream, when I woke up again, Amber was sitting in front of me, I looked at Amber's beautiful face, the feeling of guilt in my heart for Gina was more profound, I wanted to cherish what I have now, I didn't want to wait until it was lost to feel sorry.
"Honey, I want to appoint you as Luna after Gina's funeral; I lost Gina and don't want to lose you again."
Amber left a deep kiss on my forehead, "No, William, I won't leave you."
I felt so relieved that I hugged Amber tightly and was very content inside.
After the funeral was completed, I asked Jason to start preparing for Luna's appointment ceremony. I thought Jason would suggest something different about the matter, but he didn't. Only Katie came to me at different places, just like what she said when Gina was appointed before, and I ignored her words and kicked her out of the mansion this time.
From Jason's appointment and removal of Luna, I can rule out the possibility that Jason and Katie plotted this together, and I also rule out the possibility that Katie plotted the whole thing alone. Although I don't know Katie, I can tell from her words and actions that she is a woman who is not scheming but is crazy.
The appointment ceremony is in five days, the king is expected to arrive next weekend, and I'm still quietly investigating the printer thing.
Reader's POV
After leaving the envelope in Gina and William's room, Amber went to find Jason.
"Lord Jason, thank you for all the help you gave before, but I guess you must be very smart to have known my real purpose at the very beginning, right?"
Jason sat in his chair and sipped his tea very calmly and after a while said to Amber, "Miss Amber, why would you think that, Katie is my niece and you are from the White Nights, who do you think I would help?"
"No, Lord Jason, you are wrong in that statement, from the time I came to the Red Night Clan, William told me that I was a Red Night Clan member from then on." Amber smiled slightly, and her white face was very beautiful in the light.
Jason did not take Amber's words seriously, he knew very well in his heart what Amber's purpose was, he put down the cup in his hand, pointed to it, and said, "Miss Amber, look at this tea, it is a foreign treasure, my favorite before I came into contact with it was coffee, I thought coffee was the best drink in the world, but when I slowly learned about tea, I was deeply attracted by it, even if it was once my favorite coffee, I will not take another sip."
Amber picked up the cup of tea Jason handed over, smelled it, and said with a smile, "Yes, it has a refreshing aroma that coffee doesn't have, and its color is so pure."
"Yes, I am a very fickle person and will favor whichever drink I find tasty if it makes me feel good, but of course, only to the extent that it makes me feel good!"
Amber understood Jason's meaning, nodded, tasted a mouthful of tea, showed some painful expression, has been used to drinking coffee, red wine, Amber in a very short time still can not accept the taste of tea.
"Lord Jason has good taste, of course, I understand everything you said, and since I came to your house, I will definitely bring something that you will find useful, and as long as you are helpful to me, we will have a good cooperation."
Jason laughed as he looked at Amber with a teasing tone and said, "Miss Amber has the most beautiful looks, I don't think any man would escape your tenderness!"
Amber did not say anything, Jason continued, "When I first met Miss Amber, I fell in love with you ......"
Jason put his hand towards Amber's hand on the table, which Amber didn't dodge.
The windows are closed, the door is also closed, the maid in the mansion has long left, the entire mansion is left with Amber and Jason.
