Chapter 45 In Disarray

• Sitting on the edge of his bed at home, Alaric appeared conflicted.
• Can I claim that I have captured the Holy Sovereign? Can I admit that I was nearly sentenced to death by him? Can I acknowledge that I was terrified?
• He couldn't bring himself to say it. Not a single word. This left him feeling torn. Despite his usually good relationship with the Denby Family, Alaric still needed to maintain his connections with the high-ranking families if he wanted to continue succeeding in Bilchester.
