Pants Down

Leonel reclined in a chair, his legs up on the desk before him. 

Across from him, his father-in-law sat. Compared to Leonel, Miel's posture was ramrod and straight. He looked like a disciplined general as he stared at Leonel. 

Leonel's brothers sat around him, each one facing another group of elites of the Slayer Legion. 

The atmosphere was quite stiff and rigid. Well, mostly. Because Leonel himself was still smiling and he felt that the situation wasn't too bad. 

What was amusing was that Miel hadn't asked about Aina even once, but when Leonel thought about it, it made sense. 

In Miel's view, he probably already had a contingency plan in place for his daughter. The main issue was that he had no idea that Aina had died once, throwing his plans for a loop.
