A Mere Possession

"You are to continue the investigation. I do not care what it would take but I want all of those rebellions to die at once. Kill them in the most brutal way." Lenhart nodded slowly. His eyes still bowed, making Edward smile.

"And if you need that girl, you can have her. It will be a little gift from my side." he added, waiting for Lenhart to react. 

Lenhart's words might hold a value, but Edward was not a fool to believe that the girl had no hand in it. 

The madness he had seen today was never seen before in his eyes. The way his hands clenched even for a second was enough for Edward to know and smirk.

He swept his eyes over the long line of the gifts with a bored look.

"Are you going to dump all the gifts here so that you do not need to meet my sister?" he asked with a bored look, but Lenhart was not a fool to take his expressions at the face value.

He shook his head.
