CH847 Marquis Brandford
***
Marquis Brandford paced about in his study, resisting the urge to smash something against the wall or hurl it onto the floor, as certain members of the nobility would have done in his position.
The rumours surrounding the return of House Skywalker had reached his ears through his retainers, and they troubled him greatly.
Not because he feared the current House Skywalker, nor the fall of Viscount Dunhill, but because he couldn't understand what it represented.
For one, the speed and seemingly organic manner in which the rumours had spread left him suspicious.
House Skywalker had been little more than a footnote in history for almost a century. He felt that either the Skywalker name still held tremendous influence, or someone was deliberately fanning the flames.
Regardless, neither possibility sat well with him.
