Several important figures were currently gathered inside the conference room.
The leaders of Drenovar and Eryndor sat at the table, along with two Council Heads—James, a seasoned middle-aged man, and Joe, a sharp-eyed young representative.
This meeting had been scheduled under the guise of coincidence.
The King of Drenovar had come forward with a proposal for a truce, when—almost at the same time—the Council requested a separate meeting.
Oddly, the Council also insisted that Idris be present for the discussion.
And that raised a troubling question:
Was it truly a coincidence… that they approached only when Idris was here?
Now, only one person's presence was needed.
Sebastian, standing diagonally behind Cedric, kept glancing anxiously toward the entrance.
His young master was making some of the most influential figures in the world wait—and it was fraying his nerves.
But just before the older man could lose a few more years off his life from worry, the doors finally opened.
