Bab 97: Trying the ring on

" It was the phoenix clan ... ".

From the moment Ronan found out that the phoenix clan was involved he felt a murderous aura build up inside him .

The phoenix clan had a long-standing history with the Draco family and it was not impossible for them to pull of such a vile stunt.

However knowing better than to take a criminal like Irene's words at face value , Ronan cross questioned her about a lot of stuff all night.

Ronan was the most curious about how they contacted her and recruited her into their mission and what her reward was in the end.

According to the plan , Irene was supposed to kill Percy and her husband and sneak out of the palace to meet up with the agents of the Phoenix clan who would evict her to the central empire then.

Irene was infertile and hence her married life was a sham. She faced constant domestic abuse and while her husband loved her a lot , the look of dissapointment on his face every night in bed was too much for Irene to handle.
