Chapter twenty (5)

Protector Klienn took a seat beside her with a sigh. His little niece would not acknowledge anyone sitting here, while the elders were expecting she would hold them in some regard, but saw her dismissing attitude, making them angry.

"You do not acknowledge your elders, daughter of Jin ke? Have you been outside too long that you forget the rules of the clan?" one of the elders said. Helen glance towards him before looking away and remaining silent.

"It matters not Elder Ivory, she is here and that is the most important thing. We must concentrate on the task at hand. We must secure enough spaces in this gathering to enter the alignment battleground. I was hoping she would have come with lord Steinhouse; it would have been good for him to know his in-laws." a graceful woman said. Though she looked only in her forties, Lady Steinhouse knew that all those sitting there were at least a hundred years old. She must be an elder, to have the martial arts capability to stay this young.
