Svetlana was right.
There really was something bizarre happening with the Doxon family and the one to blame was none other than Hal.
Let's recap.
Hal had a plan to take over the Doxon family but did not want to do so with the cooperation of his grandfather who he knew only wished to control him.
Hal wanted his control of the Doxon family to be absolute.
He had no intentions of going through some annoying secondary channel who would have some misguided thought that he/she could veto his (Hal's) ideas or plans.
And then Hal wondered, how could he do it.
How could he have absolute control?
And then he got it...
His Devil seed in Sapphire city.
The one whose corruption had so far spread past the Kirsten Barony and towards other baronies in the Cruz county.
However, there came the issue of connecting the members of the Doxon family to the Devil seed. Every member except Svetlana and Kirill.
