The Crown
As Vermilion's touch lingers and his warmth slowly starts to fade, my mind races over the thousand reasons why Vermilion is telling me to be the president of the council then it dawns on me. All of the people who have disappeared were from the council! The only one who is still with us is Seraphina. The kidnapper must have considered her with grave intensity this is why he didn't take her.
But this is not the same for me. I am a mere human. And even if the culprit doesn't know that, they would think I pose no threat to them. So if they take me then I will be able to bring a showdown of this. But for all that I need to get into the council first. So this is what Vermilion is trying to say.
