More than that , he was infamous as the most fearsome member of the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul .

His words werent there bluster .

If Flint ever chose to unleash his full power , he could casily level the entire city of Brighton .

Skylar opened his mouth , clearly itching to respond , but then hesitated .

The weight of Flints reputation was enough to make him think twice .

He shut his mouth again , his defiance swallowed by caution .

Rhetts eyes shifted to Marge , who sat on the floor , trembling and weeping .

With a slight bow , he addressed her gently , Youre Marge Suarez , the maid who served Madam Suzanne .

arent you ? Marge lifted her tear streaked face , slowly rising to her feet .

Her voice quivered with respect as she replied , Yes , Your Grace .

I served Madam Suzanne as her maid My lady suffered greatly .

She devoted her life to raising Young Lord Dragons daughter , all while waiting -hoping for the day Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon might return .

She waited for twenty long years ! And now … this is all that remains ! Ive failed Madam Suzanne .

Ive failed Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon .

How could I ever face them.

now ? Rhett gave a slow , measured nod .

His voice was steady but tinged with sadness .

Ms.

Suarez , youve endured more than anyone should .

He turned his attention to Renees lifeless body , lying still and serene .

His face fell as he studied her , grief pulling at his expression .

Renees beauty was striking , a near perfect reflection of Madam Suzannes .

Had the circumstances been different , one might have mistaken her for Suzanne herself .

Lorelei had spent two decades hiding in Brighton , raising Renee in secret after the fall of Dragon Manor .

That they had managed to stay undetected all these years was nothing short of a miracle .

The sacrifices the sisters had made for Young Lord Dragons family humbled Rhett deeply , It was a testament to gratitude .

It was a demonstration of loyalty .

It was a kind of devotion so rare it felt 19:14 Mon , Dec 30 ww Robins appearance brought a wave of déjà vu crashing over him .

He could have sworn he was looking at the Young Lord Dragon from two decades ago .

The vision dissolved as quickly as it had come , and Rhett blinked , pulling himself back to the present .

Those days , once alive with meaning , had become nothing more than stories of the past .

Everything from that time was gone / Taking a deep breath , Rhett spoke again , his tone calm and resolute .

General Ramsey , I ask for some time to address this matter .

Can you grant me that ? Alright , Robin said , settling into the chair with an air of finality .

But let me make one thing clear .

Whatever decision you make about todays events , Kieran must die .

Len must die .

Rhea must die .

And the entire Fiori family must be destroyed .

His voice hardened as he continued .

If not , I will make sure the world understands that anyone who dares to harm my family will face the dragon dagger and they will die .

Robins gaze shifted to Idris , the silent Dragon Guard nearby .

General Hull , in ten minutes , no matter the situation , ensure the Fiori family is eliminated .

Yes , sir ! Idris responded , standing at rigid attention .

The room reacted in unison .

The six lords present rose to their feet , their movements sharp and deliberate , their eyes locked on Robin .

For a fleeting moment , they were transported back to another time .

It was as if Young Lord Dragon himself had returned , standing before them with the same indomitable force .

But the moment dissolved like a fading echo .

Reality crept in , stark and undeniable .

The past was just that the past .

Nigel broke the silence with a dry chuckle , shaking his head as he sank back into his chair .

The other lords followed , their expressions tinged with disappointment , their thoughts lost in unspoken.

regret .

Meanwhile , Skylar had crumpled to his knees .

His face pale , he trembled before finally mustering the courage to crawl toward Rhett .

Your Grace ! he cried , his voice trembling with anger .

Did you hear him ? That maniac is out of control ! Hes nothing but a monster- Skylar , enough ! Rhett interrupted , his voice firm and commanding .

I told you , the Fioris will face justice .

Kieran , who had been glaring at Rhett with tear filled eyes , burst out .

Grandpa , how can you let him sit there after what hes done to me ? Order Mr.

Josington to take care of him now- 214 Mon , Dec Kieran ! Rhetts voice cut through the room like a whip .

Silence ! There is no Grandpa here .

Only Lord Southmere ! He turned to his adjutant .

Mr.

Josington , if anyone dares to interrupt me while Im handling this matter , shoot them without hesitation .

Understood , my lord .

Josington drew his weapon , the metallic click of the safety disengaging slicing through the oppressive quiet , The room fell utterly silent .

The sound of every breathy seemed magnified , hanging in the still air .

Rhett glanced at his watch .

Mr.

Josington , bring in Karen , Matilda , and Rhea , He had already ensured that everyone involved in the days events had been detained by his guards .

The investigation had left no stone unturned .

Moments later , two guards entered , escorting Karen , Matilda , and Rhea into the room .

Kneel , Josington ordered , forcing them to the ground with a single push .

Karen and Matildas hoods were removed , and as they took in their surroundings , terror spread across their faces .

Rhea sat with her head bowed , her disheveled hair obscuring her face .

She showed no sign of fear or defiance , only an emptiness that seemed to consume her entirely .

Through the veil of her disheveled hair , Rhea caught fleeting glimpses of the room .

Generals stood firm .

flanked by rows of armed guards .

The sheer gravity of their presence made her stomach churn .

It felt like a prelude to disaster .

Her gaze shifted to Len and Kieran .

Both knelt awkwardly , their limbs grotesquely twisted and useless .

Not far from them , Burt , Kierans father , mirrored their position .

His face was battered and swollen , his expression vacant as he awaited Lord Southmeres verdict .

Mr.

Kieran , help me … Rhea murmured , her voice barely audible .

But Kieran didnt move .

He knew speaking out of turn would seal his fate .

Lord Southmeres courtroom was no place for defiance .

The silence that followed was suffocating , as though the room itself held its breath .

Enough ! Mr.

Josingtons shout broke the stillness .

His hand cracked across Rheas face , leaving her stunned .

He straightened and addressed the trio , his tone cutting Look up ! When the lord speaks , you will answer .

No lies , no excuses ! He fixed his gaze on Karen .

Whos idea was it to lure Brenda out of school ? Choose your words wisely , girl .

One misstep , and youll regret it .

Karens voice trembled as she rushed to reply .

It was Matilda ! She told me to go with her .

19:14 Mon , Dec 30 EU 62 She said Rhea promised her 15 grand if we could get Brenda into the car parked outside the school .

Josington narrowed his eyes .

Did you receive the money ? Karen nodded hesitantly .

We got it just before … What happened next ? Josington demanded , his stare unrelenting .

Karen faltered , her fear palpable .

We dont know … after that , we didnt see anything else .

Josington turned to Matilda , his voice sharp .

And why did Rhea want Brenda ? Speak up , Matilda ! Matilda broke down , tears streaming as she answered , She told us .

Rhea said Mr.

Kieran and Mr.

Jeb liked Brenda .

She said they planned to … take her and Joanna to a room tonight .

Her voice shook as she continued , each word heavier than the last .

They were going to take pictures of them in compromising positions .

Josingtons face remained cold .

And then ? Matilda sobbed harder .

Then Rhea said shed post the photos online .

She wanted to ruin them both- Brenda and Joanna for good .

She said shed tell everyone it was Robin who made them do it .

That it was all for money .

She wanted to destroy him , Matilda whispered , her voice breaking .
