On The Mountain Peak

Evening.

On the side of a mountain peak behind the imperial grounds, hundreds of people gathered. They were the masters of their respective regions accompanied by their handpicked representatives for this gathering.

On the slanted mountain peak rested three jade white thrones veiled in a screen of light blocking the vision and perception of the people below. According to status and prestige, even though this was the heart of House Sylvia's territory, the highest throne was reserved for House Exodia, with House Venus and House Sylvia seated left and right respectively.

"Her Majesty's flavor is really something else."

Said a man in the crowd, his sentiment echoed by those around him. People of their status are all too used to lavish halls and extravagance. Now, having to meet up outside in the lush yet empty wilderness gave some of them a novel feeling, but some of them felt something else entirely.
