Two months passed in a jiffy and everything relatively calmed down. Even though the whispers and murmurs were still circulating, the hubbub was eventually cooling down. By now, the news of Alier's death had begun spreading throughout the Kingdom, creating ripples of shock everywhere. 

This was a significant event as Alier's death meant that the White Family had weakened. Its influence in the Royal Court would waver and hidden vipers would not hesitate to pounce on the opportunity to reduce the Family's recently expanding influence even further. 

Fortunately though, Old Man White and even Shirin were in the Royal Capital and so no huge harm would be done to the Family's image. 

Ever since Albaer left nearly two months ago, Ethan had been strictly grounded in the mansion by Aisha. After such a catastrophe, she would obviously not allow Ethan to take more risks.
