Chapter – 164 - All Hell Breaking Loose

Xander's Point Of View

"Hey, Xander. Did you see it?" Xavier asked, walking into our office and striding over to my desk.

He plopped down in the chair across from me, a grim look on his face.

"See what? What's wrong?" I asked, confused.

"The new Edicts from the Legislator Branch. They're damning as hell." He sighed.

I looked up from the documents I had been reading, bemused. I had been stuck behind my desk for the past week, barely able to sleep at all. Even though our Duhtchy wasn't particularly struggling, there had been a strange increase in violence and theft in the past 3 years.

More and more businesses were petitioning for our protection, but at the current rate things were going, we wouldn't have the manpower to spare. Xavier knew that I basically never left this office all week, so his question seemed more rhetorical than anything else.
