Perry's POV
I watched Elder Augustus's body go rigid when he heard my words. He couldn't lift his head to meet my gaze, but neither could anyone else in the war room, so his reaction wasn't unusual.
Still, he fought back hard against my accusation.
"That's a complete lie! I never did it! I never betrayed our kingdom or sold us out to our enemies!" Elder Augustus dropped to his knees before me. "Please, don't believe that traitor, my king!"
I turned my focus back to the final traitor. "Valerium gold, you said? What else do you know?"
Confusion clouded his face. "I'm not sure what more you want from me, my king... I... I have no idea. He's also a traitor. He'll be..."
"So beyond the Valerium gold, you've got nothing?"
The warrior struggled to think of his next words, but the truth was obvious. He knew nothing beyond the Valerium gold he'd already mentioned.
