Rigged (3)

Lily gave a pessimistic smile. She very well knew what game Wrik was playing. There were 13 people sitting there; 14 counting Lora. She knew something like this would happen today. Wrik and his group already had the upper hand in numbers. Even the people they brought in are mostly under them. That's why she chose Lora to take part in the discussion, even though her chance of winning was low.

Actually, she did not hold much regard to be the flag holder as she could tell even if she became the leader; she had to listen to Wrik. 

Though Wrik was not detestable, her personality does not allow that, that's why she played an inside game before the discussion.

Lily eyed the corner of the table to a certain person. Sitara who could not be said as a part of Wrik's team. Lily had a friendly talk with this female archer before this, regarding the matter of leadership, though the archer had not given her a confirmation yet.
