Chapter 205: Gathering family (2)
Alessandra chuckled. "You don’t need to leave, Elijah. I would like to enjoy this time to be with both of you. You’re both too busy these days."
"I’m busy with work and protecting this family. What are you busy doing?" Edgar asked, curious about how Elijah spent his time.
"You’ll hear about it soon," Elijah replied.
"I only like surprises from your mother. This surprise better not be that you want to join the court. I’ll disown you if you join them," said Edgar.
"The court could never afford to pay me to join it. I’ve been in the palace because Rafael wants someone he knows, and you are too busy to go there. If the court isn’t careful, they will start a war," Elijah revealed.
Alessandra frowned. "Why would there be a war? We are close to the Callahans."
"The court has always pretended that it likes having a truce. There won’t be a war, but rather, an execution of the court if they speak on anyone from the border. Tobias is getting rid of the court," Edgar said, holding Alessandra’s hand to calm her.
"So I have heard. Mark Wilkerson will lead what is left of the court," Elijah shared, but regretted what he said after his father didn’t look pleased. "I believe you know Mark. He was on mother’s case."
Alessandra looked at Elijah. When did he have time to read her old cases?
"Tobias has lost what little sense he was holding onto," Edgar said, since Mark was an awful choice. "I should go and smack it back into him."
Elijah laughed.
