At Neveah's words, the audience hall once again fell into silence as the dynamics quickly switched.
Not only was the request for a unified council by the representatives invalidated, the certainty to leave the dragon court alive and unharmed had just been taken away.
By all dragon laws, immediate punishment could be dealt for matters related to treason against royal authority, so long as there was irrevocable evidence.
The composure of the dwarf representatives were quickly falling through, Neveah watched them exchange glances unsteadily.
A crack in their brave facade had already been formed and it would quickly spread until everything was shattered, the alliance between both representatives before arriving at dragon court would fall through and one would turn on the other.
It was just a matter of who would make the first move.
