Chapter 786: Shadows in the Council

The grand council chamber was an imposing room, its high ceilings supported by intricately carved stone columns that seemed to stretch endlessly upward. Large, arched windows allowed beams of sunlight to filter in, casting a warm glow over the long table at its center. The walls were lined with tapestries depicting the kingdom's history—its rise, its battles, and its alliances. Now, the chamber was filled with some of the most powerful and influential figures in the realm.

Elara and the other Guardians stood at the front of the room, facing the King's council. The air was tense with anticipation. The King sat at the head of the table, flanked by his most trusted advisors: the high mage, Master Theron, known for his deep knowledge of ancient magic; General Alistair, a seasoned warrior who commanded the kingdom's forces; and Lady Cassandra, the shrewd diplomat who had negotiated countless treaties and alliances.
