Chapter 292
Zayne entered the throne room right beside Gage and already he gathered the attention of the men in the room. Many looked like they were seeing a ghost while others appeared not happy with his return. They hadn’t succeeded in getting rid of him just yet.
Gage walked to the throne to have a seat. Everyone in the room should be nervous at the moment since even Gage was.
Zayne found his spot at the bottom of the throne.
"My brother and his crew are back safe. I have to thank everyone who wished for his safe return and those who did what they could to come up with a plan to get him home. I’ve been a little hard on all of you these last few days and now, I am thinking of rewarding those who were helpful in this time," Gage announced.
Gage looked around the room at some of the men who had been utterly useless smiling like they were going to be rewarded.
"A lot of you have been in the palace from the time I was a young boy and while I admire your dedication to the palace court, there needs to be a change. Your views are old as with your age. I need people who understand that times are changing and their views cannot be based on old norms. I will get rid of some of you."
"My king!"
Zayne looked at the man bold enough to speak up when he should have been one of the first ones to go. It was a treat to hear Gage inform the court some of them would not be here for much longer. Gage was finally doing something right.
Virgil, a man of the court, lifted his head to look at Gage. "We have served your family for many years and have more years to give to you. One small incident like this should not be enough to shake what has been here for all these years."
