With a sigh, Klaus fell silent, making Matthew confused. Matthew was about to ponder the reason for his father's silence when everyone heard Gabriel's voice. "Sometimes keeping your mouth shut will save you from disaster. The mouth is the biggest enemy of a person it can make you powerful and also trap you in danger. HAH! So where are we?" Wandering the golden eyes Gabriel suggested. Not really a suggestion, it was a threat. When you are talking with Gabriel, take control of your mouth first. "Majesty, will we close the case then?" A Viscount timidly proposed, not looking straight into His Majesty's eyes. Morning courtroom always felt like hellfire where a small mishap can cause your soul to

her voice was at the edge of breaking. “I deduced, you would not react like that if they didn’t---” he paused. “---you know what? I’ll keep my mouth shut, I might say something that’s not good for you to hear. I’m shutting my mouth now.” He moved his fingers to zipped his mouth. It is good to keep his mouth shut, he knows that his personality is vulgar and does not think thoroughly, he does not know when to open his mouth and does not even listen. Fauzia did not say a word and did not finish the meal, he regretted why he asked. Sometimes he is annoyed with what comes out of his mouth, it does not agree with the situation.

“They have no idea what's going on in here, and if you want it to remain that way, then I advise you keep your mouth shut. Okay?” “Okay.” My voice came out as a whisper, and as a sly smirk made its way to his lips, I just knew I was fucked. Oh snap.

“This power, you can’t ignore it. And you can’t trust everyone with it.” She nodded slowly. “I mean it,” I added. “Even the people who love you. Especially them.” Her head jerked up. “Noah?” “I’m not saying he’d hurt you,” I said quickly. “But I am saying that power changes people. Not just the one who has it, but the ones around them. You need to know how to keep something for yourself.” She looked away. “He’s been honest with me.” “Then keep being honest with yourself too.”

bright ideas. “Sit back and keep your mouth shut at first,” I said after considering it for a moment. “You can feel free to look as unfriendly and threatening as you want, though. You know the expression I’m talking about.” He raised his eyebrows at me and then scowled, fangs very slightly on display, and I cracked up. “Yeah, like that. I’ll present my ideas at some point. They’ll ignore them and suggest their own. Then you can tell them their ideas suck and suggest your own, which will just be mine, only in your own words. And we’ll see how that goes. Okay?”

His shoes whispered against the rug. “You’ll break eventually,” he murmured near my ear. “They all do. Some scream. Some beg. Some try to cut deals. It doesn’t matter. In the end, they all learn who holds the power.” I kept my eyes forward, my smile gone but my voice steady. “Power isn’t keeping someone in chains. Power is surviving the chains and still being yourself.” He stopped behind me, silent for a moment. I could feel the heat of his presence, the weight of his attention. Then he let out a slow laugh, cold and humorless.

She releases a statement not public, not leaked, but circulated exactly where it will do the most damage. It is short. Precise. Unemotional. Power is not control over people. It is the ability to stop carrying what was never yours and survive the fallout. Those who rely on silence, compliance, and unseen labor do not govern systems. They borrow stability from those they refuse to name. I am no longer available. No demands. No threats. No ultimatums. Just withdrawal. The response is immediate. Confusion. Anger. Fear. Meetings erupt into arguments about accountability.

About how power leaked downward, even when it was meant to stay sealed. I smiled inwardly, pride blooming quietly in my chest. Then Anthony shifted beside me, finally speaking again. “Whatever it was,” he said mildly, “it’s clearly not something we’re meant to speculate about.” There it was. The subtle warning. The line. They all quieted, nodding. The argument dissolved as quickly as it had ignited. I ensured to smile when someone looked my way. I laughed when it was appropriate, and stayed absolutely silent 90% of the time.

His voice came low, but it carried through everything. “Enough.” That one word carried through the noise like it had weight. The reporters froze. The flashes slowed. He turned his head toward the man who’d shouted last, his expression carved from something colder than anger. “Stop bothering my wife.” Silence fell hard. He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t have to. Power wasn’t in his volume it was in the certainty behind it. “She has nothing more to say,” he said, his tone like steel. “You’ve all had your story. You will not ask her again. You will not touch her. You will let her live her life and stop turning her pain into entertainment.”

“You talk too much, Theo. It’s a habit that’s going to get you killed one day.” He blinks, clearly not expecting that. For a fraction of a second, his mask slips, and I see it—the moment of uncertainty, of hesitation for letting himself tell me something he shouldn’t have. I don’t let him recover. Instead, I take a slow step toward him, keeping my posture relaxed when I speak again. “I’ve learned something recently… the strongest people in this world don’t waste their time running their mouths. They act. They take what they want, and they don’t need to announce it first.”
