Chapter 451: Ashes in the Council Hall
Two days ago
If Orion thought that after that meeting with Eldric he could take things easy, he thought wrong.
Things moved to the council hall instead, all elders present, including Brynhild and Lysander.
Orion sat at his usual position at the head of the table.
Cloaks brushed stone. Gloves were removed. Chairs scraped softly across the floor.
Madam Tyler was the first to speak.
"Orion," she said gently, inclining her head. "Word reached me that you met with Eldric?"
Orion nodded once. He was sure her fellow musketeers had told her that he had met with Eldric.
"Yes."
Before Madam Tyler could continue, Orion spoke again.
"He will only answer questions when Sophia is awake, so I still do not have answers regarding who he is."
"Why did you just accept that boy?" Caspian asked him. "You should have forced him to speak, especially after knowing that he wasn't the Eldric we know."
