On April 11, in the conference room of the Highest Council…
The sixteen members, including seven grand arcanists, had already been seated, when Lucien just came in wearing his double-breasted suit. He apologized, "Sorry that I'm late."
"It doesn't matter. Last night was your wedding night. It's perfectly normal to be late." Klaus, the Alchemy Master, said jokingly, "We all understand it."
Hearing his joke, the other people either smiled kindly or showed no emotional change, except for Hathaway who stared at Lucien coldly as if she were blaming him.
