Chapter 225: Unnr, The Broken (1/2)
”Deals? Contracts?” I repeated, staring down at Alfred and Kara on one knee.
”Yes, my lord, Arsene claimed that he is able to grant our clan an endless stream of warriors at the stages of World and Higher.” Kara humbly said with reverence to my disgust and disbelief.
”Have you seen Silvia?” I asked as my mind flashed to the little firecracker.
”No, but I have felt her presence within the City of Hallr. It seems stable, and she is still pure.” Alfred quickly exclaimed. ”But... I have seen a rather interesting person, and she is working for Arsene Snow.”
”That boy again.” I coldly barked as he nodded.
”Zanris Daeva is with Arsene, working as one of his servants.” He said as my eyes began to glimmer with anger.
Clenching my fist, ice began to flood my throne as I arose, glaring into Alfred, ”What the hell do you mean? Working with Arsene!!! Should that bitch not be in prison rotting in its depts?”
”Be calm, Unnr; no need to be so agitated,” Torgeir said with an interesting glimmer. ”You cannot fault the girl for her decision. ” He said as I stared dead into him, causing a slight smile to surface.
”So you knew?”
”Of course,” He said with a calm smile that didn't reach his eyes, ”Does the Matriarch wish to punish me?”
Hearing his mocking tone, my intent began to fill the room as cold sweat trickled down his head like streams.
”The House of Scara are to kill her,” I cold commanded as he smirked,
”She is not ours; you made us abandon her. Siva was quite livid, but we still followed your orders to imprison her before removing her name from our house. She belongs to Arsene now.”
Narrowing my eyes, I continued to stare at Torgeir with malice before smiling. If Torgeir didn't have deep ties to the main branch, I would have wrung his neck before his children. ”Tell me about this, Arsene?”
”Monster!!!”
”Bastard!!!”
”Interesting!!”
Sending Torgeir a deep glance, I could not help be curious at his description. ”He is cruel at times, but he thinks ahead a few hundred steps. He is a master of the Mask, but he still shows his real self to those around him as a mask within a mask. I cannot figure him out.”
Staring at the stack of documents beside me, I spread through the reports of Arsene, frowning at the many contradictions.
”Can we trust him?”
”No” Everyone yelled, causing me to smile,
