Chapter 43
The Lord of Blood and Iron had twelve children: seven sons and five daughters.
His blood seemed rather strong. Each of his offspring was talented... but they didn’t all make it to adulthood without issue.
From what I could remember, three had died—two from accidents that occurred while they were carrying out territory missions and the third under mysterious circumstances. He’d been deemed missing for three years before the case was closed because he couldn’t be found...
That last incident had happened within House Bednicker’s main house.
His name was Rudbick.
The fifth son of House Bednicker. From what I could recall, he’d been full of curiosity.
Why was I thinking about Rudbick right now?
I don’t think he’d kill his own son just because his son stepped into a forbidden area...
However, this belief only applied to the Lord of Blood and Iron. Even if I was correct, what if the Council of Elders were the first to hear about our trespass?
