Council of the Neutral Continent, Espat.
On a big floor that had many people working while sitting in their respective office cubicles, Eric walked along the hallway bypassing many of such workers and reached at the end of the hallway where he saw a man sitting behind a desk in a big room, working on a laptop, through the glass panels that lay in front of him.
Eric pushed open the glass door and walked into the office room without knocking. The man working on a laptop had noticed Eric coming towards him but after noticing his rude intrusion, he frowned and said
"Do not enter without knocking next time. I won't be polite with you, even if you're an Emperor rank."
Eric stopped in his tracks and looked at the man. He had a thought and then said to the man with a smile
"My apologies, it won't happen again."
Eric apologized due to realising his blunder. He was too happy knowing that Arya would suffer and forgot that he was currently barging into the office of a council member.
