Three choices

As Cain stepped into the hall, a familiar scene greeted him. It reminded him of the royal council chambers back in his own kingdom, where people stood in rows on either side of the hall, while the leader presided from a high throne elevated on a platform accessible by a short flight of stairs.

However, unlike when he was at the royal council before, where there was only one throne, this time Cain saw three thrones where three people sitting on them, each having their own fire lion beside them.

On the left, Cain saw an old man in a white and red robe with long white hair sitting on the throne, looking at him with a curious expression.

On the right, another old man, this one with fiery red hair and dressed in a crimson robe, glared at Cain with barely concealed anger.

Seated on the central throne was a middle-aged man with red hair, wearing a white and red robe.
