Lord Bernard's claim about being able to shut off the water supply and make Alexander kneel sent a prickling pain surging through Achillas's whole body. He abhorred the man. Not because the man had harmed in any way. But because of how handsome the man was and much more so because he was someone other than the general who got to share his lord's bed. It made Achillas extremely jealous. And thus he would always try his best to make things difficult for Lord Bernard. So now that the man here was…-

Lord Parker watched Lord Bernard struggle to come up with a plan with a complicated feeling in his heart. This was because he knew he was being unfair to the man. How could a single man hope to achieve something when so many of them could not? But he also knew it had to be done. Lord Bernard had to fail here. And the reason why he needed to do it was all because of Alexander, because of the hostage situation that he had created. To fully understand the thought process of Lord Parker here, one…

Achillas's voice betrayed great annoyance at Lord Bernard's carelessness for here they were discussing such important matters but the man did not even seem to bother. Along with that, there was also the fact that the general did not like Lord Bernard, both because he saw him as incompetent and because he was a bit jealous of the man's status. Thus in an attempt to catch the man with his pants down so to speak, Achillas reiterated, "We have already stopped food supplies from going into the mansion.…

Alexander, for now, felt very relieved that help was soon on the way. So lightly slumping his back on the couch in happiness, his mind turned to the last matter in his mind. Hence he posed to Lady Miranda with curiosity, "So Lord Parker has been already informed of the happenings? How did he react?" Alexander had not had enough time to send delegations to the other party yet, so given that the siege had already started, the man must have been informed somehow, and the most likely candidate was of…

Lady Parthia could guess why Lady Miranda told the white lie about the number. So realizing it, the lady too decided to keep up the act, one because Lady Miranda and they were right now allies and it would be not polite to poke holes in the other party's credibility, but much more so because she was not willing to shatter the hopes of the man sitting next to her. Alexander really looked like he could really use this good news, even if it was not true. Thus Lady Parthia too played her part in…

At Lady Parthia's suggestion, Alexander was quick to nod to show his support. "Yes. Lady Parthia speaks words of wisdom. We should try our best to make Miss Linda comply. Once she abdicates, and Lady Miranda is claimed as the family's head by the elders, we can then slowly sit down with the Heeat family and come up with a suitable compromise." The man was quite expectant of the results, and ended the proposal with, "Perhaps we can even agree to let Qunetin take over the family once he comes of…

Chapter 1072 Alexander was admittedly caught a bit off guard by the sudden change in Lady Miranda. Honestly, he had braced himself for a long tedious nagging contest with his counterpart even after showing all the proof, as the lady of the house had shown herself to be like such a person, Alexander had even made several mental points about all the things he would say to justify what he had done. But it seemed the young lady had taken the news of her family's betrayal a lot harder than he had…

"Father! Father! Father!" Just as Lord Nolan was resuscitated back to life, seeing the old man open his eyes and take a great deep breath, Lord Cassius began to instantly let out loud pants of great joy, quickly sprinting over and then kneeling down to clutch the man's withered hands in relief. "Oh! Thank the gods! Thank the gods! You are alive! You are alive!" The man afterward broke off into almost tears, while Lord Nolan's still appeared a bit delirious, his eyes glassy and his mouth slack and…

As Alexander laid witness to the scale of the fire at the harbor, he felt a slight trepidation in his heart at the size of it. 'Remus you brat! I asked you to burn down only the ships… not the entire god damned city!' He could not help but lightly cuss the boy. *Bang!* And it was right at that moment that a furious Lady Miranda decided to make her entrance, stomping into the room with heavy hurried footsteps, fury written all over her fair face. "Lord Alexander, what is the meaning of this?…

The fire started by Remus grew by magnitudes more than he could have ever imagined, fueled by wind and abundant dry kidling, thus engulfing a significant part of the city and alarming almost all its citizens. Every single one could see the warm glow illuminating the horizon and turning the sky almost like the setting dusk as they all started to leave their residences and gather around the streets in the middle of the night in panic. To them, it seemed like the sun had risen early, bathing the…
