The Great Elders, still recovering from the earlier suppression, exchanged wary glances. They couldn't understand why the Ancestral Elders hadn't attacked him. Why had they left so silently even though Eren had killed one of their own?
Eren leaned back on the throne, his fingers tracing the intricate patterns carved into the armrests.
"Wait, look at that ring! Isn't that the Sect Master's ring?!" One of the Great Elders suddenly exclaimed, catching everyone's attention.
As his words echoed through the hall, the Great Elders came to a sudden realization. They looked at the ring closely, confirming that it was indeed the same one the Sect Master used to wear.
With that ring, it was no surprise that Eren was able to control the formation of the palace.
"Why do you have that ring?" Zia asked, taken aback. "What happened to the Sect Master?"
