CHAPTER 83
They finally took their seats at the table. However, Gandolf remained standing behind Ezekiel. His king instructed him before not to eat with them, as Zek was paranoid of getting their food poisoned. He remembered that Laia said she survived after drinking human blood immediately when she was injected. Zek can do that, as he was half vampire. But for Gandolf, he wouldn't risk it.
Even if Liam Jorda never showed him anything to be in doubt of his loyalty, there could always be a chance of a change of heart. And Gandolf was too important for him to take that risk. He had him eat in advance though, as he asked one of his people in the area to prepare food for him, and he consumed them on their way to the Jordas.
The food in their mansion was always delicious. He would often compliment the chef who prepared for them. Even if it had been a long time since his last visit, the taste stays the same, if not better.
