Little Mara doesn't want to bother with the Top Elders anymore, so she put aside what she had planned for them to help.
Aware of what Elder Cassius was planning, she said no more.
"Well, we'll leave it at that. I think each of you is old enough to discern what may come to take place, if my plan is worthwhile or not, the ultimate outcome is for the Clan."
Little Mara gave them the ultimatum.
"When I implement my ideas, I don't want you guys to refute them or want to add your own ideas when it is no longer your place to have a say."
The nine Elders behind Elder Cassius give her a sneer. If possible, they would curse her, but they would incur disrespect towards the Clan Leader, and that is the last thing they want, to give her the opportunity to punish them.
Elder Cassius said nothing, but his narrowing eyes implied a lot. After a few minutes, he spoke.
