Chapter 422: [Bonus chapter]Take it slowly
Sam never left me out of his sight; even when he was interrogating Jaime Malum, I stayed. I had no reason not to, so I listened to their conversation. It was mostly about Jaime's shady connections. Of course, the viscount could only tremble in fear the more my husband spoke.
Jaime didn't expect that he had already caught the emperor's eyes a long time ago, and they had been investigating him. So, Sam knew more than Jaime thought. Hence the fear in Jaime's eyes. Still, since the young Earl needed to establish his position, killing Jaime wasn't smart. Another person would just replace Jaime and try to control the Earl.
So, my husband ordered this viscount to guide the young Earl and slowly transfer the stolen power and influence to him. If Sam deemed his execution proper, he would reconsider what punishment he would give to the House Malum.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS

alienfrommars Hey guys! In case you are wondering why TDP stretched this long. Actually, TDP is set to end at CH 60 (80k words) and then a sequel with another 80k word. But as you can see, TDP is nearing 500k words now.
Why is that?
It was because of the snowball effect. I constantly find myself realizing things that need to be covered to add to the plot. Then new characters come and you know, more problems, more things to resolve.
But, I am already planning to end TDP by January or February because I had been seeing TDP's end and even wrote a draft on how it will be. (Author is preparing her heart). :)
