"Brother Edwin, please do not worry about Ruth. I am here." Elsie told Edwin for the fifth time, yet he did not look convinced.
The letter they had received yesterday was about Ripon taking charge as the chairman of the Council. After Barret Addington's death, a political vacuum was created at the top. There were many contenders for that position, but the royals put their seal on Ripon's name as Barret's successor.
They had organised a formal oath ceremony for Ripon before he assumes the charge as the Chairman. And for that, they had invited all the important elites from all over the land.
Edwin usually did maintain a hand's distance from such things, but after Barret's suspicious death, he was more alert now. Besides, he would like to know where Ripon's loyalty stood. So he decided to accompany Lord Augustus.
