The Heated Meeting Begins

Unlike usual, none of the faces seated at the table were jovial.

Instead, they wore stoic and placid faces as they all looked at Ryan, waiting for him to begin the meeting.

"Welcome to the first gathering of the war against the Kheaweth Empire," Ryan said, addressing both sides of the table. "First, I want to address the most pressing matter, the wedding. But befor-"

Before Ryan could finish speaking, Komma Argallod interrupted him. "I think you mean the most pressing matter of the attacks on the Zol'Gan Empire."

Ryan raised his eyebrows. Looking at the Zol'Gan Empress, Ryan wasn't afraid. He was angry.

"Your plight against the Kheaweth Empire is noted," Ryan said, his voice turning icy cold. "But you should know that you're not the only one facing attacks from the Holy Alliance."

After speaking, Ryan turned to Aurora, who had yet to join the Emerald Family, but since Ryan knew her identity as his mother, he wasn't worried about a betrayal.
