Two weeks later…
In the grand hall, Vritra sat behind a large table, surrounded by Lords Edmond and Gordias, Princess Luciana, and Lady Katherine with her two sons.
Behind Vritra stood his loyal servants, Neron and Ghislaine.
Esmeralda was also there, standing confidently behind the princess.
Normally, she would only attend because of the princess, but today she was also there to support Katherine in any way she could.
They were finally about to discuss the circumstances of the entire situation with Cedric and Kris.
Lord Edmond cleared his throat and began the talks with his usual serious tone and stone-faced expression.
"That fool Cedric… He worked so hard to build this city, but in the end, he still dared to commit treason in the worst way possible."
Gordias nodded steadily and replied.
