The fireplace crackled at midnight as Lord Alexander sat on the grey Downing street chair in front of it while reading the documents the Council member had given him yesterday.
Mathias was his ears when it came to reports on the proceedings that took place in the Council court. Alexander didn't trust anyone on a whim. He trusted the man because Alexander was the one who had gotten him the job there and the man had been extremely faithful till today.
It was a different thing that the man was wary of the Lord, knowing full well of his treatment towards people who were unfaithful. Very few, like the slow-witted human Lord of the South, dared to be on the bad side of the Lord of Valeria.
His men had reported on the possibilities of Lord Norman associating himself with a certain dark witch. Seemed like he would have to go and attend the Council proceedings.
