Bab 157: Ryat's Offer (2)

"So there are inner conflicts among the High Seats of the tower?" Wrik asked, narrowing his eyes. 

The backer of Zandra was the same person who was backing Scythe. The High Seat probably wanted to give a high standing may be a similar position to his, to Scythe, but given the masked fellow's poor performance, that plan went downhill. After all, one person could not choose anything of the tower, there were other High seats too. And from what he had learned till now, the relationship between the ten odds High Seat did not seem pleasant. 

"Naturally there is," Ryat said. "The one backing Zandra and Scythe is known as Chivirat, the oldest High Seat among the ten. I heard in his prime he had the recognition of all the other members, and his words almost were enough to decide everything in the tower, but all things came to an end. The old man on his deathbed for a couple of decades now, how could we assume anyone would listen to him anymore."
