Chapter 8: Duke Astravore Is Here.
[Reynold’s POV]
Reynold looked at his son quietly.
He tried to joke, to keep things light but the situation was anything but that.
His son had messed with Duke Astravore.
Reynold’s fists clenched slightly.
Son, I’m sorry for being weak.
He wanted to say it. Scream it. But he didn’t.
He couldn’t show weakness. Not now. Not in front of his son.
Duke Astravore had been pressuring the Ashborn Family for Rael’s immediate execution.
Reynold had defended him fiercely. But without his father—Reylin Von Ashborn—present, it wasn’t going well.
The Ashborn family was ruled by both the Head and the Elder Council.
His father, Reylin, was the leader of that council. But he was currently away on an important mission, gone for nearly three years.
