Complete Preparations

Stella entered the meeting place and noticed that there were a total of nine people present.

They were Village Chief Marlon and his assistant, Knight-Captain Hendrick and Knight Misha, the new village guard leader that she wasn't familiar with, Sir Cartel and Lord Castillo, the branch head of the Hunter Association, and an old man representing the Arcanists in the village.

'So they were all here… I thought I'll be meeting with only three people… Haa~'

"Good evening, everyone. I was told by Miss Jillian that you're looking for me."

Stella said as she looked at the Knight Captain before glancing at everyone. 

"That's right. Thank you for coming here, Miss Stella…" Chief Marlon said as he gestured for her to take a seat.

"You can just call me Stella, chief." The young girl politely replied as she took the empty seat beside Misha.
