Whispers in the Gale

|Ch.37

__________

The Bishop mansion was surrounded by a red dust of mana,threatening to explode the grounds any moment. The one controlling everything was very obviously the next tower master,Gloria Pendragon. And the one who was holding her back was the duchess Pendragon,lady Luna.

"Gloria,explode everything if they do not agree with my conditions",Luna ordered.

Gloria's lips tilted up into a little menacing smile,"Alright"

Luna looked dead in the eyes of the Saintess Senga,"I want a Bishop....to go to the Pendragon house. And that person will serve the Pendragons like slave for an year"

Were her direct orders.

Everyone in the room was flabbergasted,shocked,and in disbelief. Even Gloria.

"Only an year? That's too much light of a punishment,aunt"

"You think so?Then two?"

"Three would do"

"Alright ",Luna nodded and looked at the Bishops. "Three years"

"You—",Katherine Bishop was about yo open her mouth but Gloria's mana circled around her way too fast for her liking. Gritting and grinding her teeth,she kept quiet while seething and trembling in fury.

Even Wynn was quiet,but he didn't look that much displeased or uncomfortable for a Bishop from the direct bloodline.

Luna kept her head high,calm and collected with her hands clasped infront of her like a proper lady,"Don't think I'm being too unreadable here. You tormented Gabriel,a Pendragon,for almost eight months for what? A crystal? You never needed that crystal before. Did you even know about it until Gabriel came here?"

"It doesn't matter whether we knew about the crystal or not. It belonged to our territory —"

"Gloria"

Gloria smiled widely when Luna called her out. Her fingers twitched as she fisted one hand and

Boom!

One of the turrets that belonged to the Bishop castle was instantly bombarded.

Luna sighed,"I don't want to use this method too. But you left me no choice. This is actually a way better choice for Bishops,don't you think so? Think about it,if I report this to my husband,do you actually think he would stay still and let it go thinking of peace?"

Gabriel looked at his aunt in a new light today. She had always been cold yet kind,like a winter breeze. She never seemed ruthless even with her cold attitude but today,she looked extremely ruthless and merciless.

"And why did Gabriel have to 'steal' it in the first place? Wasn't it because you did nothing to help the guardians of the kingdom when they needed you the most? It is also your duty to keep the kingdom safe. Playing neutral until when? What's the point anyway?",Luna shook her head. "Decide,you send a Bishop as a slave to the Pendragon house for three years or I report everything to my husband"

Saintess sighed,right now even if she wanted to justify their actions,she couldn't open her mouth or else who knows which building the Pendragon witch would destroy. It was pointless to even threaten them when they were ready to just blow up everything within their sight.
