Celestia's anger, for a moment, was clouded by confusion as Rune led her into the library.
The room was already occupied. Every man from the dinner table was present, seated around the large conference table as though this gathering had been arranged long before the evening began. The only one missing was Alys. The moment Celestia stepped inside, the quiet murmur of voices ceased, and all attention shifted toward her.
"What are you all doing here?" She asked, unable to keep the tension from slipping into her voice.
Rune hesitated, his gaze instinctively drifting toward Reina, as though waiting for her to take the lead.
"Come, have a seat first," Reina said.
Her tone was calm, too calm for the storm that had been building inside Celestia.
