Trouble Before the Competition

In the blink of an eye, Aiken and his family descended the stairs of that residence to the entrance hall, where many nobles of House Frost were waiting for them.

That was the final meeting before the start of the Province Conference when these individuals would go over their plans to maintain the family's position at least.

Thus, this was a very relevant moment, and when Aiken appeared next to his daughters, wife, and son-in-law, everyone stopped their conversations to pay attention to them.

Some had worried looks on their faces, something expected to be seen there considering the terrible position this family was in. But there were also some smiling looks, some fake, hiding the true intentions of part of the people there.

Lothur observed this from his vantage point as he stopped beside Aiken at the spot designated for the patriarch's family, the center of attention there.
