Chapter 99 (2/2)
The two lances that had escorted me here took a few steps back from me as I looked up at the Council
Alduin Eralith spoke up with in a gentle tone, his expression co in, I would like to thank you, not as a leader but as a father for saving hter—”
“And need I remind you that we are here as leaders of this da his fists on the table “This boyhim Shall I read the description one of the scouts so kindly sent to us?”
Priscilla shook her head, trying to quell the situation
<hr>
“Dawsid, I hardly think it’s necessary—”
“Both legs, crushed into h Left arht ar continued to read off of the scroll, even he see up next “Genitals, along with the pelvic bone, crushed and—”
“I think that’s enough, Dawsid,” Alduin warned
“It see that this boy happened to save the entire school, but it did not justify the torh Tothis whole fiasco as an excuse to get revenge on someone who he’s clearly had enmity with since the past,” Dawsid said coldly
“You can’t be saying that this boy’s erous scene was just to seek revenge And even if he did, what of it You can’t prove to anyone here what Arthur’s motives were He did e couldn’t do in times of need and that was potentially save every student inside Xyrus,” Alduin barked back, his face turning gesting we kill the boy We just need to e” It was the former dwarf queen that spoke this time The cold indifference in her voice seemed to even make her husband falter for a moment
“What hts as well This boy is too dangerous if left alone Ion decides to make enemies out of us…”
My ears perked up at the mention of Sylvie
“My God, do you hear yourself? You sound like a paranoid criminal Blaine, Priscilla, what do you have to add to all of this?” Tessia’sher head, disconcerted
“Merial,as a parent,” Priscilla said evenly, her distant gaze switching back and forth from Sylvie and I “But, it is best to consider the Greysunders’ vieell What they say, they say with the entirety of the continent at stake”
“So what, we cripple the boy and kill the dragon, all for the off chance that the boy e?” Alduin nearly yelled as he stood up, facing the other leaders
“Alduin, know your place! Don’t think you are on the same level as us just because you sit here May I remind you of your inability to even take care of your own lances?” Dawsid growled , “This continent is potentially at the brink of war and you were careless enough to lose one of our biggest truht here to siment or am I allowed to—”
“You will not speak until you are instructed to!” Dawsid roared, cuttingto make He could say that the God of Iron himself spoke to hie what he had done and what he will be able to do if left alone The scouts are still in theaccounts fro here if I aive my account on what happened and why it happened the way it did,” I did my best to control the volu out a lot sharper than I had wanted it to
“You’re right! There is no need for this prisoner to be here Olfred, lock him up in one of the lower cells and keep him there until further orders Also, lock his pet in a vault” Glaudera Greysunders responded for her husband, waving her hand toward us
“Dawsid, Glaudera, the Council is not for you to run and order as you see fit Aya!” Alduin growled Behind hi a command
“Stand down, elf! Remember that you only have one lance at your disposal” There was heavy tension as the elf king and dwarf king locked eyes
Alduin was the one to concede as he reluctantly sat back in his chair For a brief azes aze as he gave ue and chose to stay silent
It was obvious that the for me, while the Glayder’s re to have to rely on Alduin and Merial if Sylvie and I were going to get hoh a different door and down a flight of stairs, I tried to talk to Olfred with little results
Taking a look around, it seeeon where prisoners of war and traitors were held I was in just one of the many cells, but ht of the few burning torches couldn’t reach
“This will be your cell, Arthur Your bond will be placed elsewhere” The su eon chamber I landed rather unimpressively on e
“Ouch, he could’ve warnedthe dust off of my knees
“That voice A-Arthur? Arthur Leywin?”
My head bolted up at the sound of the feeble, yet familiar sound
“Director Goodsky?”
