Star Eater

Chapter 446: Chapter 446

Cassidy's Point of View

Helmsforth Temple

"You built this off of the success of others. Not your own." He told her before leaning in an inch or so from her face as she glared at him. "You stand here because of them. This mountain was used to satiate your inferiority complex. A living remnant has no right to the deeds of the fallen."

Arthur finally released all of us, and I stepped next to him. "Ya need ta calm down." I told him as Greigh moved in front of him with Ziah. "Let's go." We tried to move him, but it was useless.

"He threatened your Priestess!" My teacher roared angrily. "Does that mean nothing to any of you!?"

Lady Luthi replied. "It does, but our investigation revealed that Sir Arthur is pivotal to our economy. Should you renounce him, our economy will crash, and the fallout will be unimaginable."

That was news to many of us as we looked at the Nobles who seemed firm in their stance. "What are you talking about?" The Priestess demanded. "Why would that matter!? Lestrania got along just fine before that man dared to walk into The Slums!"

Many went silent at that, and I felt a firm frown come to my lips. Even Greigh, Ziah, Ayda, and the two Noble Elves frowned. It was a disgusting term that many never expected would come from the Priestesses mouth in such a way. Arthur said it all the time, but it was to spite the others who referred to it as such. The Priestess clearly meant it in a negative.

Ayda seemed distraught at the term. Many hated it being called The Slums. Only once Arthur arrived and explained why he was doing it, did many start to accept it. Not many would believe the Priestess would refer to her own Capital in such a way.

Lord Drewes took a breath before he explained. "Sir Arthur, without anyone knowing, has created multiple aliases. It is no exaggeration to say that he essentially owns Helmsforth." The Duke began. "He is, without a doubt, probably the wealthiest person in Lestrania. Maybe even the world."
