Little Mara called a meeting with all the Elders, Low, Middle, and High-level Elders of the Council.
Cassius, reluctant to attend, had no choice but to do so. Since he doesn't know what could happen with all and in addition to the dues that the Clan Leader allocates to all Elders. They should receive at least double what the other Elders receive.
According to them, being part of the High-level Elders, they have higher privileges than the others.
Little Mara is sitting on the throne of the Sacred Hall, waiting for the other Elders to appear. Those present, of course, are the five houses, Frays, Rosenberg, Lucien, and Lumen.
The Clan Leader represented Vlad, who heads the Houses, herself, so they do not mention her much.
The twenty Elders who were appointed a year and a half ago are present.
But the High-level Elders are not here, and it has been an hour since she summons them.
