Chapter 126 - Turmoil
Inside Higrove's Academy's main tower's top floor, a pudgy man in an amethyst-colored silk robe was standing against the window, gazing towards a particular section of the city.
The place where the man's attention was focused on was a lavish white mansion. In front of the building surrounded by large marble pillars on a podium, the ten city council ministers were gathering wearing their official black robes with the golden eagle insignia etched on the upper right side of it, waiting for the Council Master, the current acting City Lord to come to the hastily erected pulpit, and address the gathered mixed audience.
These ten old, robed geezers were all influential existences in the city. Apart from being patriarchs or at the very least elders in the families, they were also Professors in the local Academy. They all held considerable power, both in the martial world and as nobles.
