The Golem Mage-Chapter 128 Elder meeting part 2

128 Elder meeting part 2

" we all know that Brandon's mother came from a very secretive background and no matter how we tried to investigate, there was no lead since all we did was just surface patrol"

" though I have always know she was a special type, I was just not expecting her to dissappear after she gave birth to our child"

" It was like she has been waiting to give me something to remember, before she could leave back to where ever she had come from and her dissappearance was just so suspicious for me to let go"

" even if Brandon was the most precious gift that I have ever received from our love I still wanted to see her face to face and question her"

The fourth elder started explaining with little tear drops rolling down his cold and once dry face making the super cold man Alec knew look vulnerable

If Alec ever saw this part of him he would be shock, all the elders all sighed as they all witness what had happened in the past too and saw how there brother had broke down when she had left

" so I decided to do the surveillance and spy to get some information myself and luckily I was able to get some information."

"she belongs to the royal clan of an empire far from this small nation we are hiding"

" empire!!!"

Patriach : "..."

Every one wassuprised when they heard that the fourth elder's wife had such a huge background

" at first I thought maybe I could bring her back or even try to impress her clan to make them accept me, but the spear techniques I was so proud of was broken mercilessly by a sword user from her empire clan who decided to trashed talked my path saying all weapons eventually leads to Dao and me obsessing on the spear too much have made my path limited"

" and he eventually made me realise the only reason I was opportune to even meet her in the first place was because she ran away from the empire since her father the emperor wanted to arrange a marriage for her with a man she detest and didn't want to marry "

" the thought of how she was being controlled to do what she wanted no part in was what annoyed her and that was how I was lucky to meet her "

The fourth elder said while clenching his fist as he thought of the humiliation he faced when he was defeated

" did you get to tell her father that you all already started a family together and that you could make her happy " the third elder asked with gritted teeth as he could practically feel the pain his younger brother passed through

Considering that his wife didn't come back with him in the first place

" I almost got killed Ragor, I was made to understand that her clan wanted to annihilate the Gordons clan until she agreed to go back with them and that was why no one was able to discover her back then, she left to protect us"

The fourth elder said this time he was already looking at his feet in shame, he never even got to see her father the emperor he was told he was not worthy to have an audience with him

" have we really fallen to such a state where a small empire could now threaten us, I can't belive that these many things happen in the dark when all we want to do is lie low for a while" the grand elder said but if this statement ever got out it might cause a major outbreak even at the capital

" It seems we have to rush the succession process of not we might not know what hit us"

The third elder said, his eyes squinting looking very dangerous

" do you want to get her back?" the patriarch asked

" yes I do, i know she must be locked up after they found out she had a family the moment she escaped from the clan, to them it must have been an insult on there big ego and I know what ever she is going through would be no difference than being in prison, I can't let her suffer that way " the fourth elder complained as he looked at each of his brothers as he poured out his heart felt pain

" I was hoping on retiring In peace and leaving the mission of our father onto the hands of the next generations but it seems no matter how I try I just can't stop my clan from getting into unnecessary trouble,"

" even the blaze Clan runts dared to attack my own grandson, it seems we have all rested for so long and they think our bones have rusted and they have started stretching there hands where it's not supposed to reach"

" don't worry Eidar we are going to get your wife back no matter what happens, but you would just have to give me a few more years"

The patriarch said to the fourth elder after he finished his long speech, everyone there listened to him as he chuckled, sigh and smile

His emotions kept changing as he reminisce about somethings that they have tried there best to forget about.

Alec's courtyard

" hey hey hey, now that the boss is back you remember your way back here right, well guess what we don't want you here".

Arthur said as he noticed both Knight and Agnes entering, all this while when Alec was at the capital the both of them rarely came around

But that was because there was nothing much to really discuss between the both group since they are only together because of Alec in the first place

" and what makes you think you have the right to drive me out of here, last I remember this is not your courtyard, don't you have your own home? , why are you always here like a homeless child? "

Agnes scolded back not with holding her words making Arthur embarrassed but he was quick to change his expression

" tsk!!, his level of thick skin is on another level, he doesn't even feel any sign of remorse one bit" knight added salt to his injury

" mehn, can't you see them roasting me show some support would you, after all if we band together we are a stronger team"

Arthur faced Brandon and asked for his support but all he got was a perplex expression

Brandon : "...", how did I get involved in this stupid word fight now (thoughts)

" okay that is enough word fighting"

Alec voice drifted over and Brandon thanked his stars that he was lucky to evade that Conversation.

" so Brandon how does feel to have your father back?"

Alec asked as he rubbed his hand together, he could only imagine how it felt like having a cool father like the fourth elder, he was really mesmerised by the wood golem too

But the same could not be said for Brandon

Brandon : "...." did I just jump out of the fry pan into fire, which kinda hard questions am I being asked here? ( thoughts)
