I Have Another Candidate, My Son!

William's thoughts drifted towards two sources of danger. It was either her enemies were confident in the ability of the dark masters at the Long Feather academy and the mysterious enemy behind them to take down him and her. Or perhaps there were some sort of assassins in the entourage she'd bring with her in this journey.

William took his time checking the contract, even rereading it five times! He spent around half an hour, while in reality he was taking a better look at Larry and Richard.

As he took much longer than expected, the two kept exchanging glances together. This confirmed lots of his doubts, as the look over their faces told him they dreamt about him raising issues about this contract.

If that happened, then they could use the excuse of this to restart the entire elder council again. And even worse, if William left without signing a contract, then things would turn ugly for his side.
