Great Nobles Meeting In Edenis Raphiel [2]

At the highest floor of the Monarchical Tower stood a grand hall, its circular layout divided by two semi-circular tables that faced each other, each designated for a distinct party.

Seated at the first table were the Monarchs of Edenis Raphiel. Across from them, at the opposing table, sat the Great Nobles of Sancta Vedelia or their appointed representatives.

Kornel, having taken his place beside a man with long auburn hair and tangerine eyes—a serene smile gracing his features—recognized him immediately as Aslan Edenis Gabriel, the Leader of the Monarch Alliance.

A heavy silence hung in the air, broken only by the sound of a chuckle—a mocking, derisive sound that emanated from Lazarus Raven. With a shake of his head and a hand resting on his forehead, he addressed Aslan with a mixture of amusement and contempt.
