CHAPTER FIFTY – TWO

Auria contained herself as the doors opened for the leaders of the different quadrants. The conference would begin any minute now and she knew that she had to think like a leader than a friend who was out for blood. She could almost taste that the moment to find Silvus has finally come. She would finally have her vengeance.

A slight shifting from her left jolted her out of her musings. She turned her head and looked at Lady Mildred who was currently fixing her dress as she stood by Auria’s side. They stood side by side as the leaders were seated on the long conference table with King Lucius seated on the forefront, his general and council seated on the right and Auria and her handmaiden on his left. Auria and Lady Mildred opted to stand since they were really listeners to this meeting. King Lucius would include Auria in the discussions from time to time but most of the time, the men conversed and the women listened.
