Chapter 623
Reuben's eyes moved to look at Damien and he didn't say a word to stop the pureblooded vampire from speaking, "What we need is people with both abilities . What is the point of brute strength if the people don't know where and when to apply it . We need people with an ethical code of conduct . Please correct me if I am wrong," he gave the woman a polite smile to see the lady give him a look of displeased expression on her face .
"No, boy," the councilwoman looked at him sharply, "You didn't, but you need to fix your attitude on how and when to speak in front of your elders . "
"Apologies that you find me involving myself to be rude," Damien bowed his head before saying, "I haven't been taught to measure respect with the time of age but the value one gains in another's eyes . "
The woman glared at him, "I guess your mother didn't teach you how to respect people then . Always crossing lines and trying to poke your nose where it is not needed," she had turned her body to face him from where she sat .
Damien only offered her smile before it fell in a thoughtful expression, "I think she did teach before passing away," he continued to think and then said, "But she also taught me to rip the gut out of peasants who were not worthy . If I followed every word, the council would be much more exciting, don't you think?" he questioned her .
The woman glared at him but quietly as he had called her a peasant . She was old enough to be part of the elder's council community but she had never come across this rude behavior . Damien Quinn was a well-known man in the council for causing trouble .
"I am sure your mother must be disappointed," the woman managed to give him a smile and turned to look at Rueben, opening her mouth to say, "As I was saying the council-"
"I don't mind making my mother proud . I am a dutiful son after all," Damien interrupted the woman . The councilwoman had paused her speech staring at the desk as she turned her free hand to a fist to stop herself from bursting out, "You need to loosen up, councilwoman Ava . You walk as if something is stuck up your-"
"Councilwoman Ava," Reuben interrupted before Damien could complete his words so that there wouldn't be any more friction than what was there right now, "We already went through an exam not a few months ago . There have been two exams already this year . Conducting another is out of the question . If it is people that you need then we will have the guards recruited for it . It is not the councilman's duty to guard as we have other work . "
The old woman had not done glaring at Damien and she finally turned her head to look at Reuben, "Guardsmen are useless because they don't know how to defend or understand what a witch looks like . Putting up empty-headed people in there who can be easily swayed, is that your idea of safekeeping the people?"
"If that is so we will need to bring in the first examination to not rule out the brains," Reuben stared back at the woman with his bright red eyes with a sober expression on his face .
