Before the portly noble could even react, a current of wind ha his face down into the puddle of his own piss

“General Arthur,” he spoke calmly “The noble beneath your feet is Sir Lionel Beynir of the esteemed Beynir House You will show hi my heels more into the unconscious Sir Lionel Beynir “You see, Trodius, I care little for people, regardless of wealth, fae they have when they fail to meet the minimum threshold as a person”

Trodius’ eyes narrowed “Excuse me? I don’t exactly kno much you heard from outside but to blatantly sully a noble will not be tolerated no matter what sort of position you hold in theto yourself and these fools as nobles but all I see are four weasels trying to capitalize on their own country’s loss and using soldiers as tools to step on and bring yourself higher” I looked down at the noble beneath my feet to further nation “Revoking the plan that you suggested is no sin, General Arthur The loss of the soldiers are regrettable but for the sake of preserving this fortress, their deaths are not in vain”

“That would’ve only been true if your goal for keeping the Wall wasn’t to try and build yourself your own little society where you and your oal was to create a safe haven where the citizens of Dicathen have a place to sleep without fear For you to twist ue and pulled it out of hisseems to do best”

A flicker of blue flaue as I pressed firmly down Trodius’ eyes widened in pain as he tried to imbue his own fire affinity ainstflesh filled the tent as I continued to brand his tongue with ers

<hr>

Still he held strong, unable to let go of his pride enough to even let out a sound

I pulled the senior captain close, ue I let the malice drip from my voice as I hissed into his ear “You see, Trodius, one of the soldiers that died out there because of your selfish plans was my father”

I felt the hiccup drop down in his throat as ue

“So believeto see the actions that you took to get to where we are right now as personal” I released ue The tip had become completely burnt off, without even a trace of blood

Trodius i his hands over his mouth as if he could protect himself from me

“Don’t think that hter have anything to do hy I’ the fine parch you here would be showing mercy Instead, I’ll let you stew in the consequences of your actions here today by taking what you value most”

I turned to Albanth, who had been quietly and fearfully observing the situation “Seeing as you’ve witnessed everything here today, send a dom and perjury towards the Council, he and the rest of the Flamesworth House will be stripped from their titles of nobility”

“ Gno ! You hab no wight!” Trodius screamed, his voice raith unrepressed eht, and the Council will surely agree once they find out you were planning on lying to them in order to keep soldiers here for yourself,” I replied coldly, waving the papers inover his unconscious investor before desperately launching a ball of fire at the papers in my hand

“Add attempted assault of a representative of the Council,” I said to Albanth, blocking the sphere of flames with a conjured pane of ice

“Y-You ca’t do dis!” he yelled, rushi+ng totobut a coacy that you prided yourself in and tried so hard to raise, going as far as abandoning your own daughter, will have been the cause of the Flamesworth family’s downfall”

I turned e to send? Unless you’re still considering Trodius’ proposal?”

“Of c-course not!” Albanth straightened and took the parch with your er”

“Also, get Captain Jesentle Trodius and I as the only ones left conscious in the tent

Behind round, was Trodius The man who had been the pinnacle of nobility and pride had been reduced to a treers atyou here would be a lance back “I hope you live a long life where you’re reminded of me every tiue”

Sylvie and I stood atop the fa the Wall Froh up, the remnants of the battle could barely be seen under the blanket of night and the fortress seemed to be peaceful

I knew all too well that the Wall was in a flurry of activity;the dead, but I pushed down the eain

It was soeood and bad

“Ellie is with yourto cremate hi winds

At her words leaked thoughts and e sister and round in indignation

I felt the pain my bond had felt as my mother’s eyes narrowed eyes burned with accusation and resentment Would she have looked at me like that as well, had I been there? That was the only thing I could ask myself

“It’s best that I’entle hand on Sylvie’s head

Sylvie turned to e yellow eyes wrinkled in concern “Arthur…”

“I’m fine, really,” I said, but my voice came out deadpan “It’s better this way”

My bond’s expression dimmed and just from that I could tell she could feel the emotions from me, or rather, the lack of emotions

This hat I did in the past as Grey I knew that suppressingthem aasn’t healthy but I had no choice

I had no confidence in being able to handle what I was trying so hard not to feel I know that doing this was burying a time bomb deep inside me, but I just needed it to last until I finished this war

Maybe after this as over, I’d confront all of this and be able to faceat her or my sister’s face

‘Do not fall back to your old ways You know best that the deeper you go into that pit, the harder it will be to clian to think of the other o at hts I didn’t want her to know—I didn’t want anyone to know—that I was beginning to sincerely deliberate Agrona’s deal

“Let’s go see, Sylv”
