[color=00F8FE]“We won’t let your mother take freedom from you.”[/color] Callum made a bold declaration as he stood up, because right now, all of his impossible goals seemed within reach. Maybe it was the tea, it probably was the tea, but he could see it. He was Callum, ruinier of things, a force of distruction, and he was seeing how to use exactly what he was to get what he wanted.  

[color=00F8FE]“Know what Edin [i]really[/i] hates? Being slighted. How mad you think he’ll get when I tell him, Dutchess Edwards doesn’t think one of his sons isn’t good enough for one of her daughters? Edin might take that personally.”[/color] There was a glint of malice in his smirk, after all wasn’t this more or less exactly what Edin told him to do? Ari was a proper noblewoman, it was courting season, he could paint this whole scenario as something that would turn Edin’s ire towards Victoria. 

[color=00F8FE]“I got plans, Ari, real plans and when I’m done, you’ll be free to pick whatever life you want, not stuck with what they pick. Step one, burning bridges. Bridges between houses. House Danrose, House Edwards, we can make that bridge burn.”[/color] Cal kept his voice low as he headed towards where the shaman was, a noticeable stumble to his steps. He couldn’t tell Ari all of it, not yet, but he was confident he had found another ally.  

[color=00F8FE]“You can see it right? How beautiful the fire is.”[/color] He asked stopping suddenly as the fire caught his attention. The way it danced and flickered as it consumed everything beneath into ash. He looked around again, spotting both the shaman with the tea and Ana and Farim as well. Cal immediately turned his back to them but kept a view of the fire and the ritual Roman and Mina preformed.
