A few minutes passed before the club members finally settled into their seats in the meeting room.
The room was large enough to accommodate the members, with several rows of seats arranged to face the front.
Some students sat close to their friends, while others occupied the seats beside the aisles.
A few were still whispering to one another, trying to guess what the announcement was about.
At the front of the room stood Vera and Diane.
Vera stood with her usual composed posture, while Diane remained beside her, looking rather relaxed.
Her light-blue eyes were half-closed, and she seemed to be paying little attention to the murmurs spreading through the room.
"What do you think Lady Vera Ashenlocke is about to tell us?"
"I don't know."
"I think I'm forgetting something."
"Yeah, me too."
Murmurs spread around the meeting room as many of the club members wondered what Vera was going to tell them.
