At her coronation he plans to propose to Hollis officially but he knew that she was going to run away with Silas, so he made a marriage contract with Hollis' parents to formalize their union before he even proposed to her in front of everyone, that agreement had to remain secret, except that she decides to flee. Angry that Hollis left him for another he burns down the Eastoffes apartment and hires spies to find out what Hollis was doing with Silas, when he found out about the wedding, he hired assassins, Lord Langston, to make them look like Darkest Knights to kill the Eastoffe and Brite families and bring Hollis back to the Castle safe and sound. Except the killers confused Hollis and Scarlet by their blonde hair, leaving her alive with Hollis and Whitley. He acted as if he knew nothing and applied the Coroan law when a married person became a widow or widower. He took the opportunity to ask him to return to Keresken Castle. Except that his secret actions of all made Hollis flee to Isolte.

### **The Betrayed**

Some realized that Jameson had mistresses in the North Wing. Sometimes he talked about Hollis.

While dining with Delia Grace, Hollis returned to Keresken in ***Chapter 32***, accompanied by King Etan, they were holding hands in hand. Jameson rose to welcome them, but Hollis was angry and asked for an explanation of his actions, surprised that Hollis knew about it, he turned the situation around and told him that it was him who deserved to have it on his hasty departure. A violent argument broke out between the two of them, until Hollis cried out that he was a murderer. But he continued to deny, saying that the long journey had made Hollis lose her head, and that he was willing to forgive his false accusations out of love for her provided she did not say another word. But it didn’t silence him and set him on fire. When he realized that Etan was armed a step behind Hollis, he asked for his sword and the marriage contract. He was willing to charge Hollis with breaking the law about marriage, it’s impossible to have multiple husbands or wives with supporting evidence. Once Hollis was silenced, he vulgarly drove Delia Grace out of her place to settle his wife there by commanding her and calling her "Hollis Barclay". Etan angry finally intervened by saying that Hollis is no longer a Coroan subject but Isolten and that at his court, Hollis will be protected from him. It was at this moment that he understood that Hollis had still escaped him and that she now loved Etan. He had drawn his sword, determined to kill Etan.

Jameson had climbed on the table of the stone platform where he had eaten and rushed upon Hollis, Etan the step back and took out his sword but Jameson had slipped because of the tablecloth, dropping his sword which had bounced against the stone slab and stuck in his heart.

Jameson had slowly agonized as he watched helpless Hollis in Etan’s arms.
