The next day Ember was ready to go to the council meeting. Reya and Clio quietly helped her. From the previous council meeting, even these two servants were unusually quiet to worry about their master.
Ember looked at herself in the mirror, adjusting her expression to appear calm and composed. Draven arrived, and together they left for the council hall. When they arrived, everyone was already present, awaiting the King and his mate.
This time, Draven walked Ember to her chair personally. Once she was seated comfortably, he took his place on the throne.
As usual, Elder Halifax began the meeting. "Your Majesty, today we council members have gathered to hear Lady Ember's decision."
Draven nodded, and Halifax turned to Ember. "Lady Ember, please let us all know the decision you have made."
