On her way there the news about Lady Jaelah"s and her daughters" dismissal from the clan had made its way around the household.
"Did you hear? He threw her out after the wedding..."
"I heard that she insulted him and he got so furious he threw them out!"
"Well, Lady Jaelah never did have a good personality..."
"That"s true...you remember the time..."
As she pa.s.sed by, cl.u.s.ters of servants were chatting about what happened last night, not many were sad about Lady Jaelah and her daughters separation from the clan.
Only a few who were in Lady Jaelah"s pockets, were sad to see their money bags gone, these included the elders.
The elders had laid their heads down to sleep, thinking of all the influence Miss Kamryn was going to bring into their respective families last night. When Mano had already sought and filed for divorce, not just from Lady Jaelah but also from Kamryn as well, the future Queen of Kaia!
To say they were livid would be an understatement. At the crack of dawn, they pulled Lord Mano from Lady Lyra"s bed to discuss (demand), the reinstatement of Lady Jaelah and her daughters into the Amara clan.
At her father"s office door, she could hear the arguments the elders were making.
"You have been married to her for years...you can"t say there are no sentiments there..."
"They are your daughters, of flesh and blood!"
"What will we do about the Holone clan! They will not take this sitting down!"
"She will be the future Queen of Kaia! It would have been an honor for the Amara clan..."
"How do you know the royal family will not retaliate on behalf of Kamryn...?"
The elders bought many excuses to dissolve the divorce, but every single one met Mano"s silent refusal.
Having tired themselves out jumping and ranting all morning, the elders finally calm down and sat in silence waiting for Mano to say something.
When he saw the group before him was quiet, Mano started to speak.
"It seems my dear elders have forgotten the Amara clan"s laws."
At the mention of the laws pa.s.sed down from generation to generation in the clan, the elders grew fl.u.s.tered.
How could they not remember the laws, it was their responsibility to make sure the next generation followed and upheld the rules to maintain the clan"s order.
"No clan member shall seek political marriage or alliance with any party without the expressed permission of the Clan Leader!"
The elders felt ashamed, they knew the laws and they knew Mano did not want the marriage. However, with the Holone clan"s coercing and Lady Jaelah whispering in their ears, they thought Lord Mano wouldn"t dare stand against them.
"I have made myself clear from the start, she was not to marry Prince Thallan! There is no other choice but to wipe her from the Amara clan"s registry."
With all the fact laid before them, the elders had no leg to stand on and could only accept Miss Kamryn"s expulsion from the family.
"W-What about Lady Jael"
"Do I really need to explain to you why that woman is no longer part of the clan after everything she instigated her Holone clan to do the Amara clan"s businesses!" Mano picked up and pile of paperwork from his desk and threw it down of the tetable for all the elders to see.
On the doc.u.ment, it showed all the evidence Mano had found against the Holone clan"s involvement in their businesses and money problems.
One by one the elders pushed the doc.u.ments away. They already knew about Holone clan"s embroilment to pressure Mano. They even helped on some, there was no room for them to be shocked.
"These are copies, the originals are already in the governor"s hands and lawsuits are being filed..."
"What!?" A few of the elders who helped the Holone clan do some of these crimes were scared.
"Why are you so shocked? Shouldn"t the Amara clan seek justice considering the damage they have caused..." Mano knew some of the elders were involved, but he just didn"t know who.
However, now if they want to save themselves they will need to cut ties with the Holone clan or go down with them.
"Y-yes, that"s true...but what about Miss Lula? She has done nothing wrong!" The elder who spoke thought he caught a flaw in Lord Mano"s claims and urged his fellow elders to grasp this opportunity.
"Ri-right! Miss Lula still young and under the influence of her mother and sister. She could only follow along. You shouldn"t have kicked her out as well!"
"Yes! That is just too cruel of you!"
Many other elders began talking, as they thought they had Mano by the tail.
Unfortunately, like before Mano stayed silent until they had quite down.
The elders felt something was not right.
