Acting like Vultures

"Exactly, the same Aakifahlynn that hasn't the slightest clue of what's really going on," Duke Chapman added to the King's words. However, he was interrupted before he could continue.

"And what about the now vacant Elder positions?" The Vampyre, Viscount Everald Ferguson, ardently enquired. He knew the absurdity of accusing Aakifahlynn of this. Besides, he was more concerned about the Eldership.

He asked what was undoubtedly on everyone's mind, but none dared to bring it up. And as Viscount Ferguson braved the room, the rest suddenly had so much to say, chiming in.

Duke Chapman took the opportunity to respond, "Gentlemen, surely we have more pressing matters to discuss."

Duke Chapman was convinced he was a shoo-in for one of the elder positions. After all, he was a werewolf. If history was proof of anything, he would say he was indeed a sure thing as one of the werewolves in the council and a Duke.

Only an Elder was higher in rank.
