Chapter Four: Legacy's ShadowAs the tension in the room simmered, Nicholas wiped away his tears, his mind wandering to the weight of their legacy. Marksons' pacing only served to amplify the unease, while Lord Dendridge's silent observation hinted at a deeper understanding of their predicament.Nelly, the voice of reason amidst the turmoil, stood steadfast by Nicholas's side. "Thank you, Nelly. Your guidance is invaluable in these trying times," Nicholas acknowledged, his gratitude tinged with a sense of urgency."No problem. We'll do whatever it takes to navigate through this storm," Nelly assured him, her gaze flickering to Lord Chio, the silent sentinel at the center of it all.But amid the chaos, Lord Chio's voice pierced the air, drawing their attention once more. "There is still one matter left unresolved. The position of beta alpha remains vacant."Marksons' impatience bubbled to the surface. "Can't we leave this for another time? We have more pressing matters at hand."His outburst ignited a flurry of protests, each voice clamoring to be heard.
