Adam sat at the edge of the bed, the dim light in the attic illuminating his face.
What the fuck is he doing here?
He subconsciously clenched his fists as he thought to himself.
The five domains, the five factions, the supply of kidnapped children, the mysterious delivery point in the north… Marden Benton.
Could it be… he's overseeing the place where the children are being delivered?
Or am I just...
The youth steepled his fingers, resting his elbows on his knees as he covered half his face, hiding the wide grin about to form on his lips.
He suddenly felt the urge to laugh out loud.
But he didn't.
He inhaled deeply and continued his train of thought.
I can't make a move on Marden.
Not now.
All my plans will go to waste if I do.
Control. Control. Control yourself… Be patient…
The time will come. Eventually.
Baron Veyne is backed by Marquis van Booth, who in turn is backed by Marden fucking Benton!
