It was silent again.
Nothing but emptiness and dark corners where unseen beings lurked.
The meeting that was held with all the high-ranking people within the department had already been over for almost an hour—and yet the man sitting inside this office had not moved a muscle. High Lord Rashal sat in silence.
Unlike an hour ago, there was only he now inside the cubicle office.
Beyond the glass walls, figures moved through the adjacent rooms—clerks and adjutants and also lesser officials walked left and right, arms full of documents and mouths formed words he did not hear. They existed. They worked.
All had already received the news of what happened in the Cavity.
Received the news that High Lord Rashal's position was filled with uncertainty.
None of them cared about him.
