'The Iron Saint…'
Malakai was surprised.
'What's he doing here?' He wondered. The iron saint served the sovereign directly. He answered to no one else in the clan.
Because of this, he was almost always close to the Sovereign, except when sent out on missions by the Sovereign himself.
This was what shocked Malakai. They were currently far from the main building, deep within a sprawling forest. Just what was he doing here?
"That's enough."
Caelum's voice was thick and heavy. His cold gaze fell on the two Blooms, Nyx and Julius's guard, who had been moments from a full-blown clash.
"Iron Saint." The guard bowed his head in respect.
Caelum's status as the Blade of the Sovereign made his standing in the clan higher than most. Beyond that, he was only a few ranks away from stepping into the Scarlet Ten.
Caelum gave a curt nod, then turned to Nyx, who still hadn't taken her gaze off Julius' guard. She didn't even seem to acknowledge Caelum's presence.
