Partnership

When Kyran mentioned the word 'partnership', the council members glanced at each other.

Even Malek reacted. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Kyran and said, " Do you even know what partnership is?"

"In order to establish a good partnership, both sides need to be on equal grounds," Kyran continued, completely ignoring Malek's question.

"You-!" Malek glowered, but Stella stopped him by resting her hand on his arm.

Seeing her stern look, Malek reigned in his annoyance and leaned back on his chair and snorted.

"Humph."

The rest of the council members who saw this could not help but applaud Kyran's boldness.

In the Conclave, only the Lord could act this way around Malek.

Even Stella had black lines on her head as she looked at Kyran. She knew that until he got even with Malek, they would not be able to reconcile properly.
