Roswell fell silent. He hadn't expected Ragan to say something so cold.
He hadn't abandoned Cedric. On the contrary, he had done everything in his power to free him. Unfortunately, all his efforts had been in vain.
Cedric's crimes were simply too grave. Even as prime minister, there was nothing he could do.
"The trial will be held in five days. I've already reviewed all the evidence against him." Ragan let out a mocking laugh. "I have to admit, your nephew truly is remarkable. He even dared to sign a cooperation agreement with Jakes to support the slave trade. From that deal alone, he received hundreds of millions of Sharn."
Ragan deliberately referred to Cedric as "your nephew" because, in his eyes, Cedric's actions reflected directly on Roswell.
In other words, no matter what Cedric did, Roswell could never completely distance himself from it.
