Chapter 615: In two minds

"Are you really going to go through this?" It was the question that kept ringing in his ears until that moment. Yet, he still had no answer to it.

He was walking in the hallways of the palace on his way to the private meeting. But his wife's words still bothered him. She had asked him that question a million times before, but this time, he could not ignore her voice as it went on and on in his head. 

Soon, the guards opened the door for him, revealing the inside of the room already occupied by the other Council members. He could see that the chairs were almost complete, except for the one on the other end and his.

"What is this all about?" The Duke immediately asked the other members the moment he stood by his chair and looked at each one of the Council.

Compared to most of the meetings they were conducting, this was more private. Only the original Counsels were invited to take part in the discussion.
