"Don't forget I know what your son is capable of, Bernard."
"...Are we even needed here?"
Tempo made sure that his words would not even leave an echo to whisper through the hall, but with the sudden silence that surrounded the air after Empress's somewhat cold voice, Tempo's words were heard by everyone loud and clear.
And seeing the look of somber surprise on Hera and her casual nod after, it would seem Tempo also just voiced out her concern. As for Butcher, his eyes were just focused on Empress, seemingly waiting for her next words.
And finally, after a few more seconds of this awkward silence, Empress turned her head towards Tempo,
"I just need your opinion then the three of you can go," Empress muttered as she stood up, "Who here agrees to letting Riley in the guild?"
