A Big Lie
“A very disturbing information?” Zenon couldn’t help but instantly get worried when he heard that. “What kind of information?” he asked after grabbing the second file that the spy was handing out to him.
The spy immediately hesitated to answer Zenon’s question. Rather, he waited for Zenon to open the file and find the answer for himself.
Seeing the hesitation in that spy’s eyes, Zenon didn’t waste any time opening the file to read. He wondered if the Queen was acting as a spy for all this time after all. He couldn’t think of anything else when the spy mentioned the information as ‘disturbing’.
However, the moment he read about the actual disturbing fact, Zenon wished that what he had thought was true rather than what he had just read.
“No… This can’t be true…” he whispered in utter dismay and tightly clenched his jaw as though he was in physical pain. And for a while, he kept on looking at one particular word on the file – death.
