The day was Wednesday, and the house of lords was having a session that morning. Charlton just wanted it to end already so that he could talk to Leonard and try to convince him to let him see his sister in secrecy. Although he could just send in his card, he did not want to alert Geoffrey. Aside from that, if Serena was not receiving his call, she would most probably refuse to receive his card too.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He should focus on the meeting. What were they talking about again? Oh yes, it was earl Cobalt reporting on the rebel forces that's beginning to rise. Honestly, what was the man doing? Yes, they have some camaraderie, but he could not help but question the man's competence. He holds the military force to subjugate those rebels, but it seems like he doesn't know how to use it.
