What?
Andy and Fion turned pale in the face immediately.
"Nathan Cross! Don't you dare threaten us! We're from the nobility!” Andy yelled. "Don't listen to him, Fion!"
Nathan snickered. "I have killed countless lives when I was in the North, including some members of the Jordan family. I won't hesitate to kill either of you."
That statement made Andy and Fion turn even paler.
Nathan took a puff of his cigarette as he glared at the two of them. "I've said enough. Time for you to decide whether you want to live.”
Andy looked at Fion, visibly panicking. "Don't listen to him! He's just playing mind games with us!"
"Do you really think you can change your fate?" Nathan sneered. "I'm only letting one of you go tonight."
The gears in Fion's head began to turn. Yeah, won't telling me to shut up in front of the General only make us even more suspicious?
Fion shuddered as she imagined the sheer amount of blood that Nathan had spilled during his time in the North.
He can kill me in mere seconds!
I might get a chance to live if I just confessed my crimes... I'll die if that bastard Andy does it first!
Fion stood up abruptly. 'Til confess, General! Andy was the one who dragged me into this. He knew I was on bad terms with your wife and was adept at seducing men, so he got me to manipulate Wyatt. Andy Jordan wants to use Wyatt as a weapon against you!"
Andy glared at her when he realized she had betrayed him. "You ba****d!"
"I'm a ba****d, but so are you," Fion retorted, snickering.
She turned to Nathan again and pleaded, "I'm sorry, General, Wyatt! Please forgive me! Just kill him! This is all his fault!”
Andy pounced onto Fion and grabbed her by the neck. "I'm going to kill you first!"
