The Reunion (part 04)

Arlene's point of view:

My face might be calm on the outside, but inside, I was cursing that girl. "How could she do this to your mother?"

Well, I had to admit that I really didn't like my post as Matriarch and I couldn't wait for six months to pass before I could pass my post on and be able to do whatever I wanted.

Scanning the young people who were sitting at the table enjoying their snacks, I couldn't help but speak. "Looks like you really brought your descendants beyond their confidants, doesn't it?"

"Yes, my son, Ruan, also came to watch and learn from the subjects that will be discussed after, he didn't want to miss this opportunity and he also made sure to bring his closest followers with him" Commented the Emperor of Avalon.

The others also nodded slightly in agreement, they all did the same.

"Aran, it seems your nephew is quite close to the Young Lady of the Aires, is there any backstory to this?" Asked the Emperor of Vaughan, curious at the sight.

"Nothing big happened" Aran began carelessly. "They only met once in the southern lands and later ended up meeting again in Marva, they also form classmates at the Royal Academy and had forged a beautiful friendship until then"

We continued to exchange a few more polite words for a few minutes.

Seeing that it was time to get back to the main subject, I turned my gaze to everyone present and announced aloud. "Since everyone is already accommodated and has been able to get to know each other better in this time, I would like to invite you to the meeting room that is right behind the hall"

After I had spoken, everyone started to rise and with me and the Emperors as their leaders, everyone went to the meeting hall.

It was a large room and had a large table with a huge detailed map that covered all of the Five Realms.

Approaching the table and positioning myself behind it, I turned my gaze to everyone present and began to speak. "As everyone has speculated, today's meeting is intended to update you all on the latest moves by 'An Sinnsir'"

"After watching them for the last seven years, we were able to gather enough information to put in place a preliminary plan to bring down the organization"

"According to our informants, the 'An Sinnsir' have spread throughout the Five Realms and are making their base stronger and firmer so that their plans can be put into action."

"Before all of you got here, my subordinates have already cast a bait as the first step towards the success of our plan and soon they should go into action and so this meeting is also to warn all of you that things can get a little agitated for a while"

"If the Matriarch allows me to ask, what plan would that be?" Asked one of the young men who came with the Emperors.

I smiled upon hearing his question and said in a calm voice. "Calm down, we'll get there soon, but before we get to this topic I want everyone to take a good look at this map and pay attention to the places I'm going to demarcate, I believe it will be something that will surprise all of you"
