"3 gatherings in one month, since when did Krobridge become so lively?" The 8th seat commented as he leaned back lazily on his stone chair.
The dark underground hall was lit up with torches once again as the Dukes gathered to discuss.
Their expressions varied as they waited for an explanation of why a meeting was called so abruptly.
The 1st seat sighed. "I had no idea the order would be disrupted so easily. Since when did gatherings take place without prior notice?... Is this how things should be done!"
He spoke in a relatively calm tone but that was only because he didn't want to make a scene if it so happened that the person that called the meeting was Damian.
Speaking of Damian, he hadn't arrived yet with the hall entrance left wide open for his arrival.
With the 3rd seat accompanying him, it was understandable that Horace wasn't available as well so the others waited patiently.
