"What are you doing here?" Sera was still seated on the throne, Cassian and all the council members had already left the hall.
Only she and the members of the Shadow Legion remained. They had appeared before her that morning without prior notice and had not left her side since. Because of the presence of the council members around her all the time, she couldn't speak to them directly, but now she could.
Twenty members were sitting on the ground before her, their heads bowed and not looking directly at her.
"We are fulfilling our duty." Thorn, who was sitting at the front, spoke, his tone devoid of will. Sera furrowed her brows but remained calm. She was astonished for a moment.
"You have been relieved of that duty already. I don't ask you to stay around and serve me. Go and live. Experience life, build a family from scratch, and let your children live the life you wished for." She stood up and started descending the stairs.
