"I need to leave." Esmond stood up and looked down at Issac. The Prime minister squinted.
"Why? Issac felt confused. He was sure part of Esmond's mission was to watch him and make sure he didn't do anything to try and usurp Alfred's power, but now he suddenly needed to leave.
Despite Issac's worries, Esmond had no objective related to Issac. He threatened him once, but that was all. Issac was a member of the Inner circle. He didn't deserve his place if he couldn't be trusted with regency. "The discontent with the People's Courts has started. Only a few small reports have come my way, but I want this dealt with before it gets out of hand."
Issac nodded and looked down at the document on his desk. "Where?" Not looking back up, he began his work.
"Nakhla," Esmond said coldly.
"Makes sense. It's where it all started." Issac took a deep breath. "Keep in touch. If you need anything from this end, send word."
