In the Great Hall's main area, King Erendriel gazed down at the elf general from the second floor's edge at the end of the vine staircase.
"General Paeris, do you know what grave sins you have committed?" King Erendriel questioned with solemnity.
'Grave sins?'
The two elders were puzzled.

Of course, they were them, and the Elf King was the Elf King. They could not be sure that their thoughts aligned with the Elf King.
Even so, after a short moment, they vaguely understood what King Erendriel intended to do and chose to remain silent.
Supreme Elder Haldir and the rest of the Elders exited the council meeting room shortly after.
