Archduke Roknee, who stood behind Archduke Lecco, suddenly felt a myriad of emotions in him as he looked across the rectangular table, at a boy who was trying his best to contain the nervous and agitated feelings in him.
'We… will face a great disaster?'
He curled his lips a little. 'It has been such a long time since I met someone who could speak with no hesitation, and in such a bold manner in front of several archdukes.'
A strange silence permeated the hall.
All the archdukes had awkward expressions on their faces, and their breathing was rather chaotic.
Lampard slowly shut his eyes.
Thales tried to control his breathing, and he could only hear the sound of the fire crackling in the braziers.
After three seconds had passed, Archduke Lecco slowly turned his head and looked at others.
