Kapitel 68: There will be a meeting

Duke Arthur Gauthier felt when the ward went into effect. The feeling of Evelyn's magic was warm and left him feeling a safe buzz. He relaxed in his chair and stared into the fire. They were going to have a meeting in the morning about everything going on and their plan for Straider and Bros.

Carl and Quincy made their way into their father's office. "Dad, did you feel that?" Carl asked.

"Yes," he replied without turning his attention from the fire.
