Five more days passed in the blink of an eye, while little Mara has focused on the discipline of the new council.
The twenty Elders, individually chosen by her, are the best of the best.
Of these twenty, eleven of them are Nobles, but the strange thing is that they're related to each other. They are either brothers or cousins.
The reason two or more members of the same House serve as Elders is because of their principles.
The House Frays, have only one principle, which has become their motto over the centuries.
'Treason will pay with death.'
This motto is very shocking for every descendant of this House Frays. But that is not all. They are not only loyal to each other. Their ancestors have been loyal to the Clan Leader. House Frays has been one of the oldest Houses throughout history, except for House Vlad, which is the oldest one. They are the second most powerful within the Clan.
