After Damian left, I focus more on the other paperwork that I have left. In as much as Adrian did not get physical, things are still far manageable.
Tomorrow evening was my meeting with Professor Iris. Tomorrow
I'd learn more truth about the Council of Fates. Things I didn't even get to read in the book.
But tonight, I allowed myself a moment of satisfaction. The faction was stronger than ever.
A knock at the door.
"Come in."
Seraphina entered. Again. Third time in two days.
"Do you ever sleep?" I asked her wearily.
"Do you?" She sat without invitation this time, as if she's getting more comfortable. "I heard about the family threats. About your members choosing to stay despite them."
"News travels fast." I shrugged.
"I make it my business to know things. Especially things that matter." She studied me. "You offered to support them financially. Even though it'll cost your faction significant resources."
"They chose to stay. Least I can do is make that choice possible."
