The Dark Side Of Fate 30 Finally, The Council

~Leo~

Going to the council meeting always sucked. There was no time I got used to it.

Amelia often told me it would become a routine, but I saw it as a job. Twice I had asked Sylvester to nominate someone else as council leader so I won’t have to go to all the meetings, and he refused.

I could understand his reasons, but having to travel to the north every month sucked. It is fun when we visit, but when it becomes compulsory, it takes the fun out.

This meeting would be fun compared to others, so it was something to look forward to. I wondered how Christian was going to table the matter. Vino was right when he said we would have fun handling this matter.

I wondered how our children were doing in Grizlo, especially with Liam and Josephine being watched and the terrorist saying they would send us instructions.

I wondered what their demands would be.

I also wondered how Thompson’s death tied into all this.

Why did will Mike murder Thompson and have his partners in crime follow Jo and Li about the place? It made no sense.

Then the attack on Jake Brighton’s home was also an issue. They were like separate crimes, but it seemed like they were all tied to the same source.

Amelia exited the closet wearing a simple purple dress. Sylvester had already linked everyone that the convoy was ready. I could see the need for sleep in her eyes. We had arrived in the north yesterday evening, and having to get up early for the council meeting was tedious, but it was our job.

“Ready?” I asked my wife, and she nodded.

We left our room and headed towards the entrance where the cars would be parked.

The Volkov estate was our second home, spending a week there every month for many years because of the council meeting.

Alexei, Clay, Andrew, Devin and Eric could relate as we were all council members and rulers that had to be there every month.

Where Andrew and Eric could decide to skip a meeting, the rest of us dared not.

The Lords had to be present, which included me, and the council leader and deputy had to be present, which also included me.

Amelia and I walked towards the entrance and got into one of the vehicles.

It wasn’t long after we entered the car that the convoy started moving.

“What do you think will happen today,” Devin said, and I shrugged.

“Christian will table the matter as agreed, and we will take it up. Honestly, I like to get to the bottom of the matter, especially since our children are involved. Their safety is paramount,” I said, and he agreed.

“Why have you refused to allow your daughters to join the second batch?” I asked Devin.

“They are yet to graduate, Leo, and I do not want to move them to Grizlo Academy,” He explained, and I figured that was the case.
