At World's End

Entry 47

Years after dad’s death, a particular thought kept coming to mind.

That a member of the Twelve Great families was the reason for his sudden demise.

It was no exaggeration to call him one of the most influential people in the tower.

He must have had secrets involving their dirty work, after all, dad always disparaged them.

Whenever he had chance to mention them, only disdain and disregard for their title.

So needless to say, it was easy to infer that they might hold similar feelings for him.

Which was why on my list of suspects regarding his death, the Twelve Great families were at the top.

So I already knew that at some point, I’d have to clash with them.

Of course, I didn’t expect it to be so soon.

Especially now that my life was in danger from unknown angles.

“Nice to make your acquaintance.”

Richard Stark.

He had his roots in the Stark family, one of the Twelve.

I didn’t know much about them, except maybe that before dad died, he referred to them as the weakest amongst the Twelve.
