Governor Rostov's silence left everyone present feeling puzzled. This meeting request wasn't really a big deal; after all, since they were brothers, it should have been a normal thing to meet.
But why was their beloved Lord Governor still delaying his response? Was there something he couldn't speak about?
It shouldn't be, arranging such a meeting should have been straightforward, with no need for concern.
Yet Governor Rostov didn't agree immediately, as if he had some misgivings.
"Hiss—" Perkins drew a sharp breath; something seemed amiss.
Stan Sol had laid everything bare; his reason for coming and for abducting Hustace was to see Tobin. But why hadn't Governor Rostov expressed his position up till now?
This scene didn't quite align with the tales of the talent-treasuring Governor Rostov.
Logically, Governor Rostov should have chuckled and said something like "it's a misunderstanding," and then called for Tobin to resolve the issue, shouldn't he?
