Late at night, where the wolves howled to the full moon, and the townspeople tightened their doors, four men gathered around an oval table.
There was Kade, the Seventh Prince in all his glory, the Prince's advisor, Sebastian, and two more people. The third was the highly skilled military Commander and the fourth was a minister who controlled the military's budget. The four men made a frightening group. It'd take just four people to ignite a war, end the lives of hundreds of thousands, and burn villages to the ground.
"The Teran scum won't talk," the military Commander sneered, his voice like old wood, exhausted but still firm.
"We should torture their women—the maidservants your wife brought with her," the minister suggested in a somber voice.
