Chapter 825: D Day.
While the city lord waited impatiently for any word from the Gordons clan, a message finally reached him, just a day before the long-awaited auction, he sat in his study, his usual spot by the window that directly faced the Gordons estate.
It had become something of a habit for him, to watch from there, hoping for a sign of unrest at the Gordons, but to his quiet frustration, the sealed gates of the Gordons had been opened, and the estate had come alive again, bustling as though nothing had happened a few days ago.
As he stared out, a knock sounded at the door, and he turned to see his son, Alistair, stride in with an unreadable expression.
“Father, there’s finally news from the Gordons clan,” Alistair announced, stopping beside his father’s chair.
Those words alone made the previously lax city lord sit up, a sharp gleam of interest in his eyes.
“Speak. What is it?”
Alistair wasted no time.
What do you think?
