The nobility signed a petition to prevent Riona from joining the Nightwarden. What a way to crash someone's party, right?
Of course, it wasn't like she didn't understand their decisions. If she became a Nightwatch, and any major incident happened, her first instinct would be to trap the nobles inside the danger so they would be devoured alive.
Alright, maybe it wouldn't be to that extent. But at the very least, Riona would never be controlled by those self-indulgent nobles. She wouldn't be bribed by gold or power.
And someone who couldn't be bribed could serve as their personal stake in the future. So better dull the pointy end before it was directed at their hearts.
Riona thought of going to Sir Dusan, someone with enough authority to investigate this matter but also close enough to her. But she dismissed the idea.
