Chapitre 29: CONVENED AT THE COVEN COUNCIL HALL

NIKO'S POV

The coven council convened early morning after breakfast and was in full attendance. I could tell by the mood in the room, that trouble would be stirred in the inner court. Enforcer Claudio had already reported that Fabian had been whipped just for glancing at His Highness Lord Blackwin, a trap set by Gisela, and Claudio had fallen for it.

Silas and Talon flagged me on each side and listened to the coven council's updates. Present was Aunty Tharn, and standing next to her was Prince Ciaran. Old man Kieran flagged them as they continued reporting while we listened in. On the right side, his Highness Blackwin Noire stood with his son and daughter, Gisela and Ferugus. I was surprised when Enforcer Claudio and Guardian Lenora stood between them at the fair end flagged by Advisor Maxwell. It was the first time in close to five years that Maxwell attended court. I could see the raised eyebrows on each side as they watched him while his face remained passive.
