Chapter 9 - Julian Confessed That He Had Always Envied Me, but the Real Reason He Wanted the Empire Was Buried in a Secret Letter From My GrandfatherThe letter came from my grandfather.

He had written it decades earlier.
Julian's father had been disinherited.
He believed our branch stole everything.
The hatred passed from father to son.
Julian had grown up believing I was the thief.
He wasn't defending his family.
He was repeating a lie.
The letter proved it.
The empire had been legally transferred to my father.
Julian had no claim.
His entire war was built on resentment.
We found him at the cemetery.
He was standing beside his father's grave.
I approached.
“You lost.”
He laughed.
“You think so?”
“You have nothing.”
“I have you.”
He pulled a gun.
Annie shouted.
I heard the weapon.
Then another sound.
A police siren.
Julian hesitated.
I knew his fear.

He surrendered.
The war ended.
