The banquet hall of Phoenix Butterfly Fort fell silent for a moment.
Everyone present was digesting the shocking news that Lady Grace had just announced.
After a while, a flurry of questions sprang from the mouths of those who had recovered:
"Are you saying the entire Fallen Eagle City has been reduced to ashes?"
"What about the residents of the city? Could they have..."
"Could this be the price you were referring to about the Forbidden Spell?"
"Has the Uman Clan gone mad? To support the St. Sean family, they set their own stronghold aflame?"
...
Lady Grace pushed her hands down, calming everyone, saying:
"Gentlemen, this news came from a merchant who has good relations with the Morrison Family. I have already dispatched people to Fallen Eagle City for on-the-ground inspections. It might take some time to find out exactly what happened there."
People stopped questioning, but inevitably started speculating, whispering to each other, engaging in heated discussions.
