"I apologize for the misconduct," Max remarked, bowing slightly as he spoke.
The Elders of Council gave Ionia a passing glance at this point before one spoke up. "Glad to see that that Priestess could join us last even though she was the one to set this meeting."
Ionia was about to reply when Iolrath beat her to the punch. "Silence!... How dare you speak to the Priestess so casually?... Aren't you afraid of the Moon's wrath?"
"Hah, how long has the Moon been silent?... Ever since that child became the princess, even the little glow we got before is completely gone now. Shouldn't that tell you something?"
"How dare you!"
"Enough!" Ionia stepped up. "Showing such terrible etiquette before a human. I may be young and inexperienced, but at least I understand how to behave in public."
