Chapter 454 - The Last Meal

The loud creaking noise quickly filled and echoed through the spacious hall of the Mistress' mansion. 

Today, they were asked to spend some of their afternoon at the residence, so that they could go over all the information they have already covered and those that they have yet to get to. 

So far, though Aiden and the team agreed to work with the Mistress, it wasn't because they wanted her, or for that matter, anybody of the 4 so-called Pillars, to stand up and be the next leader.

The only reason they agreed to participate in this farce was because of the threat that the Empire has opposed on the kingdom. After arduous effort and most likely through torture rather than inquiry, the City Guards have more or less got the confirmation they suspected but dreaded: the empire would indeed launch its attack during the event.
