Paraded Around Like Trophies

Warlock Ch 241. Paraded Around Like Trophies

Victoria's gaze lingered on him for a moment, as if searching for something. "This celebration isn't just about marking our victory. It's about solidifying alliances and ensuring that our enemies know we're united."

Cassius leaned back in his chair, balancing precariously on two legs. "So, basically, a bunch of fancy talk, a little wine, and a lot of fake smiles."

Victoria's lips twitched, as if suppressing a smile. "Something like that."

Damian leaned forward slightly, his elbows resting on the table, his expression more serious. "You're using this as a chance to protect us, aren't you? By publicly acknowledging what we did, you're giving yourself a reason to keep us close without raising suspicion."

Victoria didn't deny it. "Yes. The senators will be watching closely, and this is the best way to ensure they don't interfere. By presenting you as valuable allies, I can justify offering you protection."
