Chapter 173
“Where is everyone?”“At a council meeting, my Lady. Welcome back. You have been sorely missed! The master has been –”“Spare me, Eliot. How is my son?” the Lady of the Manor sniped curtly at the white-haired, head butler of the Kramer household.“Messages from the prison confirm he is being treated as instructed. He lacks for nothing,” the stolid butler replied evenly, bowing low.“Good. I’ll be upstairs.”“Very well, my Lady.”==========Tyler could not make it outside. He was stopped by guards and had to make do with the changing room.He sat on a stone bench, his face in his hands, his heart trembling.Mother, he mused. He did not dare to whisper, did not dare to use magic in a place filled with so many with so much varied gifts.He had forgotten the natural power of nobles. The kind of magic they were born with. It was different from normal people; he had spent too much of his life of late with ordin

Henry Kramer struck his staff on the ground. “Enough!” his voice boomed in the cave. “Elders!” Lord Henry snapped, and the twelve blinked as if coming out of a trance.“Young one. Peace,” the leader of the council breathed, his voice coming out hoarse. “We asked for your word to us. We have heard you. Peace, young one.”Tyler closed his eyes. Raymond stepped close, and Tyler leaned against him, his head bowed. His mouth shut.Emily and Ashley both took steps forward, but each Lady remained on the step, their respective fathers moving forward, ensuring their heirs did not disrupt the session.“This… Matter is dear to this young man,” the leader stated slowly, his gaze turning to those behind him and his eleven comrades. “It is the bone of contention and the source of much chaos in our sphere. This matter must end, and it must end here and now,” the white-haired elder continued, his voice gaining strength and volume as he spoke.His eyes moved to Edw
Chapter 171
“I am here as a witness to the cruelty of nobles to those they consider beneath them. I, a blood relative, was cast out for nothing more than suspicion.”“A servant,” he gestured at Tyler without looking back, “has no hope of restitution without your leave. You have the tapes; you’ve seen the treatment of one who only asked for one thing.”He reached back and pulled Tyler to his side. “I wish to correct the narrative that has been pushed by one side, as living, breathing evidence of the consequence of standing without support.”“I am here to petition the council, in its consideration of my colleague’s wish, to give him your support.”“At no point did any action by Tyler Esteil bring any harm to Belarnt Group. He was forced to hide to achieve his aims, forced to work in the shadows.”“Do not let him continue to do so against those who would do anything to continue to oppress him. Allow him to handle the private matter with the Kramers, in the light,

“Peace!” Henry called out, his eyes still on Tyler. “Address the council, Tyler.”Edward croaked at the sound of the name from his father’s mouth, his face pale as he turned back to Lord Kramer.Like a machine following a prompt command, Tyler turned to the council leader. “I want the location of my mother’s remains. His progeny said she is in the potters' field, but neither of them has deigned to give me the coordinates,” he stated, speaking formally.“Five years I have waited. Until they return my mother to me, they will not know peace on this side of the veil.”“You threaten me, even when we are before a council of elders?!” Edward snapped, his eyes wide, his large hands fists at his side.“What threat have I given, Master Kramer?” Tyler spun back to Edward. “The sky is blue! Is that a threat? Grass is green! Is that a warning?”“Enough! Master Kramer, you will hold your tongue until it is your turn to speak!” the council head barked. “Yo
Chapter 169
The young man gazed around, like a visitor in a showroom, a light smile on his face, his eyes drinking in the environment with childlike pleasure.As the group watched the tall, robust man, who was turning his head about, looking at the stones in the ground, on the wall, and in the ceiling, many present shifted on their feet.For some, it was irritation, for others impatience. At first.As he drew closer, for most, it became something else.From floor to ceiling, the lights swelled as the man moved. The stones pulsed, as if they were greeting him. The smile looked like an acknowledgement to them, on his part.Without any action, without any word, the council members, half the same age as Henry Kramer, the other half older than him, felt a presence, an aura from the man who entered the cave.He, like everyone present, was dressed in a long robe that covered from neck to toes, with large billowy sleeves that reached the wrist. With his almost

Emily’s voice had fallen from normal to very low, as she used her eyes to say what her lips were subtly avoiding.Tyler sat back. No slouch in his posture. His gaze was off to the side. He raised his chin as a barrier formed around them. Emily gazed at it distractedly, her lips pressed tight, her grip on her fingers nearly a stranglehold.Tyler turned to her, but did not move.“Last we spoke of this, I told you I had to check some things. We haven’t gone into much detail since then, thanks to,” he waved a hand, “all this.”“The days have moved pretty quickly,” he continued softly, lowering his gaze again.He pursed his lips.Emily waited.“My Lady, I did not expect such a windfall to occur, but, as you say, it has covered all losses you have faced due to my actions against Kramer businesses. But,” his eyes came up, “I am not done with the Kramers.”Emily’s back straightened as she stared levelly at the large man who was saying
