Chapter 1273

The following day, Horizon Estate grew even more crowded, with several noble families from Ebonflow arriving.

These noble families, by all rights, should have been the most opposed to upheaval, for only in times of peace and prosperity could they enjoy their wealth and titles.

However, after decades of existence, their titles had dwindled from dukes to marquises. Some even faced the looming possibility of having their titles stripped away. Naturally, anxiety began to creep in. After all, they had once been at the height of their power.

Of course, not every noble family aligned with Yuvan’s cause. Some sought only to live quiet lives in their own corner of the world, and while they were keenly aware of Yuvan’s

machinations, they preferred not to involve themselves. For them, the key was never to offend anyone–so they chose to turn a blind eye.

Since not everyone had arrived yet, Yuvan decided to delay matters further, claiming he would make his decision only once everyone had gathered.

This further confirmed Wayne’s earlier thoughts that Yuvan was still undecided, wavering between rising or surrendering.

Meanwhile, on the Lunvale side, Rafael waited for the arrival of Ebonflow’s military forces. When they finally reached there, he handed over the prisoners.

The commanding officer of Ebonflow’s garrison was Chester Murray, a former officer under Dominic. In fact, Dominic had once nearly taken him in as an adopted son. After earning merit in battle, Chester was recommended by Dominic to oversee the garrison at Ebonflow, where he was tasked with maintaining order and preventing bandits from disturbing the peace.
