Falling out

"These are the major families that have fallen out with the royal family recently," Laxamus said as she presented the list. It contained information on the major powerhouses that were drifting from the royal family. It was confidential information, only he could find with this ease. 

"Hawthorne family?" Calliope furrowed her brows as she read a name on the list. Could it be her dyslexia was making her read the wrong words? 

If the Royal family threw a bone out of the gate, Hawthornes were that dog that would run after it to catch it. Not because the dog wanted to eat the bone but because the bone was thrown by the royal family. This was how deep the 'relationship' between the royal family and Hawthorne had.
