The large doors opened, granting me passageway into the hall. I could see all of the prominent figures of the Velphine family lining up along the path, all looking at me with different expressions.
Some looked at me with disdain or scorn, some looked at me with intrigue or sympathy, and some looked worried for me.
All these different expressions and emotions directed at me did not help with my nervousness.
I soon made my way to the centre of the room and bowed to the patriarch, Cythistia's grandfather, Tobreos.
I then created a runic sentecne greeting him and asking why I was here.
'Greetings Patriarch. May I know why I was asked here?' Normally I would've just greeted him casually, but not in this situation, where everyone, despite the way they were looking at me, had a very serious demeanour that permeated the place.
"Do you confess to being demon spawn?" His voice reverberated throughout the hall.
