Gathering of the Involved Families
At high noon in the Imperial Capital, a number of influential and politically powerful individuals from prominent families had promptly gathered in the conference room of the Imperial Palace.
Many of them traveled from faraway locations just to attend this urgent meeting regarding the latest event. They even used their own teleportation spells and devices or ordered their most skilled mages to reach the destination in time.
The sudden gathering of these important people was huge, but not a single journalist was present, as the empire thought it would only cause more problems if it were somewhat disclosed. Concerning the empire's national security, any words uttered in the conference should only remain in the room.
