The silence was very awkward and suffocating.
It wouldn't have been as suffocating if it was a different situation, but in this formal situation with no one talking, it was clear that everyone was suffering.
At the very least, I used this time to look at the people that were standing on the sides.
Based on the clothes that they wore, it was clear that they were ministers and generals that had been called for this royal audience as well. However, there wasn't a single one that I recognized, so it could be said that these ministers and generals weren't as important.
No, I suddenly remembered something.
The noble quest line was something that happened several years in the future, so by then, most of these ministers and generals had been replaced by their successors.
So the reason why I didn't recognize them was because this was the older generation.
