"With this, let the meeting begin," Elysia said loudly and clearly, ensuring that everyone in the room could hear her.
She now sat in a chair at a large circular table.
Of course, she wasn't alone—she was joined by the heads of the major families. Today, they had gathered to discuss how the empire would move forward.
Of the ten chairs around the table, three remained empty.
The first, the largest, belonged to the emperor. Elysia had already explained what had happened—that most of the destruction in the capital had been caused by him.
Though the story seemed unbelievable, those present had no choice but to accept Elysia's words.
The second empty seat belonged to the White Fang clan. Alexander had been its head, but during the attack on the castle, he and his entire family had tragically perished—leaving Zack as the sole heir. But he was still too young and inexperienced, so Elysia had taken command of the army under the clan's name. Zack trusted her judgment.
