Sir Alan and Lycan Davos wasted no time after Kaene’s command, they exchanged quick nods before exiting the office. Only Sir Elijah had a look of displeasure on his face as he sluggishly walked out.
He was really testing my patience with his open display of defiance. He found every opportunity to show how dissatisfied he was with my commands. I could almost swear he was in on the betrayal with Negan.
