177 Confrontation

Her widened eyes quickly stiffened, narrowing into a glare of rage as she laid eyes on the owner of the voice.

Xiloth. Captain of the Guard and third in command of the homestead.

"Xiloth! Who -- what, what do you think you are doing?! You've not only butted in to an official discussion with the Elder... You're not even showing the slightest respect to the leader of this homestead -- YOUR leader!" Barely able to contain her seething rage, Zera's eyes seemed to shoot icy cold darts at Xiloth who, unperturbed by her outburst, continued to walk in coolly.

The people within, the surrounding men of women of varied ages and positions made way for the sizable man to pass, watching with bated breaths, not daring to speak up as they anticipated a forthcoming confrontation of the two young heads of the homestead.
