"In the end, I decided to secretly contact the person closest to Sister Rune, her husband, Brother Aragorn.
At first, Brother Aragorn, of course, dismissed my words, not believing in me and of course, even I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what I saw and desperately wanted to believe that it was a misunderstanding. That was also the part reason why I contacted Brother Aragorn.
To convince him, I even signed a contract."
"A contract?"
Oberon narrowed his eyes.
"A Contract stating that if my doubts regarding Sister Rune being involved with Falconkin were baseless, I would relinquish my rights to become the successor and would support Sister Rune with everything I have."
Felix replied and everyone in the Rune gasped again.
Signing a Contract…
Again, anything involving Ancestral Order was done with absolute cautiousness and planning. Signing a Contract was a very big deal…
Especially when the conditions were to give up on the right to become the next City Lord.
"You seemed quite sure that Rune was involved with the Falconkin." Oberon narrowed his eyes as he commented.
"I was not.
I honestly hoped that I was wrong."
Felix replied.
"Do you not wish to inherit my position?" Oberon questioned with a curious look on his face.
"This was something far more important than the little infighting going on inside our family, Father.
And honestly, deep down, I always believed that Sister Rune was the better contender and deserved to be the next City Lord."
Felix replied, then, his expression changed.
"However, soon, my thoughts changed."
Oberon and all the Clan representatives focused on Felix, waiting for him to continue, and Felix continued,
"With me signing the contract, Brother Aragorn decided to help me. There was nothing for him to lose, after all. He trusted Sister Rune, just like me.
I told him to keep this a secret from Rune and he agreed.
Behind her back, Aragorn decided to look around Sister Rune's room, and to his and my horror, he found something.
Letters.
Letters exchanged with Skythorn Falcon City, dating back to 1500 years. Sister Rune, she… she was involved with Skythorn Falcon City for more than 1500 years."
Felix spoke and the clan leaders couldn't believe what they were hearing.
Especially the clan leaders who supported Rune, they all glanced at Aragorn, however, seeing him standing there while clenching his fists and clenched jaw as if he was trying to contain his anger and hide how hurt he was, the clan leaders realized that everything Felix said was true.
They all knew it.
This was the man who gave away most of his life working for his wife, gathering political power in her stead, doing everything he could for her. He was the most devoted man who loved his wife with everything he had.
If this man was just standing still with that expression on his face while someone was talking about how his wife betrayed the City,
Then it was definitely true…
Complicated expressions appeared on the Clan Leaders' faces.
