Sylas stood shoulder to shoulder with Cassarae, looking ahead to the Bronze Stele.
'Once again, a Bronze Stele that hasn't been used…'
By now, there was an open secret floating around that both Cassarae and Sylas seemed to be unaware of. Even with all the things happening, the Grimblades still hadn't used their Bronze Stele. Why was that?
On the surface, it was because they had yet to choose an heir, but with how things were spiraling out of control, why would they not choose one sooner rather than later? It made little sense for them to wait so long, especially when the candidate they should choose should have been obvious.
What was more ridiculous was that their choice was obvious. If they had to make a quick decision, the person to choose was Astrid by a mile. It didn't even make sense to pick one of the other two, especially since one was dead and the other was the puppet of the last.
