Leslie quietly made her way over to the group. She turned to Midnight.
"I need to speak with you in private. I have a lot of these new changes to go over with you and also your rite to the position has been challenged by you can guess who."
She motioned to where Arucan stalked off.
"We can't keep your little secret under wraps if you want to maintain the leadership role in the Delegates so I should get this out now. Midnight's real name is Midnight Lana Alesten. I know you are all smart enough to connect the dots. She is the rightful heir to the Delegates, but only under certain conditions. I have been looking into the matter quite thoroughly. She is required by law to produce an heir within the first year of ruling in order to solidify candidacy. Much like a royal family functions. This law only applies to women I'm afraid."
She shuffled her feet and tugged on her skirt nervously.
"Fail to do so and the position will pass to the next in line, which is Arucan. You can also be removed from power if challenged in combat and you lose. Now that's out of the way, we have many changes and updates to the charter to go through. So Midnight you are acting regent until you either produce an heir or become disqualified. You are allowed by law to make the changes to the charter and no one is allowed to act upon violence towards you outside of an official sanctioned challenge. Anyone that does so will be convicted of treason and executed."
She looked at Midnight shrugging her shoulders.
"The simplest solution would be for you two to marry and rule together. Any heirs produced would be unquestionable, not to mention it would be a line dating back to the beginning of the Delegates. Think about it, put your petty squabbles aside and look at the bigger picture. Or you two can take the hard road. Your choice."

Sage smiled as Hazel walked in but frowned at the words.
"I don't really care that she is back. The only one of them I would enjoy seeing is Grant. He is just so cute. Plus it pisses Midnight off every time I fuck him. You know how I just enjoy seeing her seethe with anger because I'm fucking her darling boy."
She giggled it quickly turning into a scowl.
"Dylan is such a child. I never understood what he saw in her. I would take that bet but really we both know exactly what he is up to."
She sighed leaning back in her chair looking over Hazel. She smiled taking in her casual placement on her desk.
"I have no desire to see her. How about you and I go get a drink instead? My head already hurts thinking about that blonde man stealing whore."

Sage stood up and brushed some hair over Hazel's shoulder delicately. She always had a fondness for Hazel and her soft beautiful features that betrayed how strong she was.
"I can't see how Dylan can prefer her company to yours. Your so much more then she could ever be."
She always complimented Hazel with kinda words, always reassuring her of Sage's affections for her alone.
"Come on, let's go get a drink shall we?"
