Novel & Cerita Cliff Nobles

The man's eyes tightened as he sat in front of Andrew Kentworthy's desk, clarifying what his brother-in-law meant by Gabrielle's maternal family. "What do you mean by Lord exactly?" After having brought Kyle Wright into his study, Andrew opened a file from his laptop and then pushed it over to Kyle's view and answered, "Like how the traditional nobility here in Britain, Gaby's grandfather, is equivalent to a Baron. In other words, the Cromwells belong to Freedonia's aristocracy."

In front of everyone, being threatened by a woman like this made Gideon feel completely humiliated. His expression twisted with disgust as he snapped, “As if anyone would want you! Just because you got a bit of plastic surgery, you think you’re some kind of beauty? Please. Forget the whole ‘fake rich girl’ thing—even if you were the real daughter of the Davenier family, I still wouldn’t stoop so low as to date you!” The Langford family was a prominent noble house in the capital. While not as influential as the Westvale family, they were catching up to powerful families like the Fallons and Whitmores.

I glanced at her. “Congratulations, mostly,” she said, not quite meeting my gaze. “Though some are… quieter than others. Neutral. Waiting to see where the wind blows.” I nodded faintly. That didn’t surprise me. “The Court’s… fractured. Some of the nobles left last night. Packed up their daughters and walked out without even saying goodbye.” Her tone sharpened slightly at the end. “Cowards.” I looked down at my tea. “They have every right to be angry.”

Mayor Clan, excited and hopeful, nodded his head and rolled up the sleeves of his Ralph Lauren dress shirt. The Burberry coat he’d walked in with hung in the coat closet and sitting big on his arm was a lavish silver Rolex. The Blackwoods knew that they were to most part responsible for the Clan’s success and wealth, seeing as the Blackwoods were here first and everyone else had taken a ride on the back of their golden chariot, riding it down a silver lane and into the land of the wealthy. It had, however, come with a price for all the families that they were glad to pay- being in servitude to the Blackwoods in any manner should they need it.

I spend the day in the garden, soaking up the sunlight and memorizing the list. Ambrose has laid out the names perfectly with their titles next to each name. His 'pack' and the nobles overlap, many of them supposed shifters. There are only a few nobles living at the palace that are human but they seem to be traveling through and not in the king's close circle.

They were not bound by the solemnity of the moment, nor did they grant the blood time to congeal before they began weaving their plans. In a far corner, the nobles huddled together, their opulent robes billowing around them, shielding them from the crimson testament to their rebellion. Their shoes, polished to a mirror-like gleam, remained unsullied, a stark contrast to the fallen king at their feet. It was as though they had shed the last vestiges of humanity, consumed by the ravenous hunger for power.

Frigg burst out laughing. The fight was about to start. All that was required was for one of the sides to make a move. I watched the old man from a distance with interest. "Is there such a thing? That ancient man is in fact 240 years old!" "Ancestral lands? How come I've never heard of such a thing?" Several questions have now arisen in my mind. I realized there was still a separation between the nobility. An aristocratic family with a long history would undoubtedly be far more powerful than a newer one.

Freed, Kilvic stood straight in the presence of a frowning Fan and the others who stood beside him cowering in the stench of their own fear. “You new nobles all suffer from such hubris,” Gyra continued, his attention focused on Fan’s frown, which was not surprising considering the boy was the only noble present. “Have you ever wondered the reason nobles in the years above you treat their mates as exactly that; mates. Tell me, have you ever pondered on the possibility as to why this”—he gestured at them—“petty display of supremacy isn’t found in classes above yours?” He paused for the briefest moment, then shook his head. “No matter. You see, I once knew a noble; a mage of dumbfounding prowes

Kahit mga nobles meron paring hierarchy. I decided to go in the right swing. Mas tahimik doon at wala masyadong tao na nakikita. I followed the pathway, masarap sa pakiramdam ang hangin dahil presko ito. Maraming puno na nasa gilid with matching benches. Sa dulo ng pathway ay naroroon ang parang mini garden kung saan nobles can throw tea parties. Pero sa pagkakaalam ko ay hindi ito masyadong pinulutahan dahil medyo malayo at tago. Nobles prefer wide spaces at mas madaling makita ng iba to flex everything they got. It means they have the wealth, power, and status.

Thackeray clenched his fist. “And find out all the info about that Alliance of Assholes!” Edwina completed. Thackeray burst out into laughter, “I can’t believe you call them that!” The Grand Peerage is what they called themselves, but Edwina had given them a different moniker, the Alliance of Assholes. A group of corrupt nobles who engaged in corrupt activities indulged in decadent lifestyles and ignored their responsibility to their people. They were against rights for commoners, taxes for nobles, and any social work projects. Filled with corruption, the Grand Peerage had been designed to keep its members safe. Strength in numbers and all that.
