“I don’t know what your connection is to Azrael,” Callen continued. “But if there’s any chance, any way, you can convince him to come to the capital, even for just a brief moment… it could mean everything. For a man’s life. For our country’s future. Please.” Jarvis stepped back, his heart beginning to race, not out of sympathy, but because of what this truly meant. Azrael wasn’t just a curiosity anymore.

Jarvis and Jason hadn’t exchanged a single word since returning home. The boy had locked himself away in his room, refusing to come down for meals, ignoring the maids’ gentle knocks, and even turning away his old nanny, the one person who could usually get through to him.

Jarvis chuckled quietly to himself, the sound deep and smug. “What a jackpot I hit,” he muttered, sinking further into the comfort of his office chair, as though the world now lay beneath his feet. Then came a soft knock on his door. His brow creased. “Not now,” he called, eyes still on the ring, unwilling to be distract
