Chapter 13

"Brother," Elliot called walking into the throne room just after Axel had dismissed the council.

Axel turned his head to see Elliot walking into the throne room. Elliot stopped a few meters from the stairs leading to the throne seat and bowed his head in courtesy.

"Elliot." Axel said in acknowledgement after the council had gone leaving the room empty with just the both of them in it and two guards standing at the door.

"How did the meeting go?" Elliot asked with concern lacing in his voice. "You don't look so good."

"The crops aren't producing well, all the money spent on the farm is going down the drain." Axel explained rubbing his temple. "Aside that, I'm okay."
