"I'm so glad that the summit is finally over," Emma said as she relaxed into one of the couches in their private chamber.
The entire hours she spent during the summit were stressful, to say the least. Whether it was talking to her own people, hearing the thoughts and impressions of others… but mostly it was the strain from overexerting herself.
It felt like she had stretched her muscles for aeromancy. But compared to her, Therius was not yet completely done.
Emma wanted her husband to relax a little, but that was a bit of an impossible task.
Therius himself was sitting down next to her but was looking at documents and reports from that of the summit meeting earlier. In the face of the people, he told them that he'd find a way to bring justice… but his cousin Yared was too great at hiding his influence.
Therius didn't like it one bit, but he was bound to uncover it sooner than later.
