685 Finale (5)

Layla's smile turned sardonic at Obstruction's words.

Indeed, if they played their cards right, they could make two parties in good terms turn hostile. However, Obstruction was targeting the wrong parties. He had no idea what relationship  the Time Keeper and the Void Master had. More specifically, the relationship between Stella, the First Time Keeper and Caelan, Kyran's predecessor.

The two were friends before they got engaged. Their engagement was mainly for political reasons, but they had no qualms about it. As a matter of fact, Caelan was not a candidate to be Stella's betrothed. But since the Tower Family did not want the union of the two families to be too constrained, the Patriarch then let Stella choose her partner.
