Chapter 19 (1/5)

father. And that was too much. Another spellwas involuntarily cast by Bleist, and Sarn's golden lightning bolts struck Kerling's light veil one after another. His cousin did not last long, and finally one of the bolts reached its target, and through the sound of the shield spell being broken, the nasty sound of breaking bones could be heard. At that moment, the Grand Master emerged from the crowd and stopped his advisor with a simple statement that this was a sufficient lesson and there was no reason to dirty his hands over someone like that. The apt remark cooled his anger somewhat and restored Darius's common sense. Bleist had no idea that Master Tilion would be attending the party and did not notice the announcement of his arrival. He was not the only one, for that matter. Darius, mindful of his duties as host, greeted the distinguished guest, and then chaos erupted. Everyone wanted to at least see the Grand Master. The incident from just a moment ago was drowned out by loud greetings and general commotion. In the meantime, Kerling disappeared, and Darius was left with a grim expression to entertain the guests. As soon as Gizel said she was going back to her place, the mage sent his apprentice away with her. Incidentally, not wanting to tempt fate, he ordered an increase in security in Ed'heere, passing this on not only to Draco, but also to the mounted messenger. The rest of the evening passed in a rather stiff atmosphere filled with whispers, sidelong glances and half-spoken remarks. Just a wonderful party.

-I've doubled the guards and moved the cavalry to the gates for support. I'd like to see any suspicious individuals causing trouble run away from the besses.- The lieutenant smiled half-heartedly, but it didn't hide the anger frozen on his face. So the news had already reached here.
