As Ralias had anticipated, everyone's resolve suddenly strengthened, and they decided to wait longer to see what would happen.
Ralias turned his gaze towards Queen Selene and nodded at her seriously. She responded with a thankful nod.
Meanwhile, the rest of the clans and families wore displeased expressions. Ralais had been fortunate enough to capitalize on the situation and present himself and the Prismaflow clan favourably before the Queen. This significantly increased their chances of gaining the Queen's favour.
Just as Ralais sighed inwardly to regain his composure, the ground beneath him shook. Startled, Ralias snapped his head towards the ground before his attention shifted to the trembling castle.
An earthquake!
