The moment Vera finished speaking, an awkward silence settled over the Council Hall.
Only a few moments ago, the two of them had been giving a perfectly organized presentation, explaining complicated theories and Alchemy principles with surprising coordination. Then, somehow, the discussion drifted into an argument over the name of the remodeled Baske before the presentation abruptly came to an end.
The sudden shift left many people staring at the pair with strange expressions.
Several nobles narrowed their eyes.
Some craftsmen exchanged helpless glances.
Others simply looked confused.
But after thinking about it...
None of them found it particularly surprising.
After all...
Vera had been involved.
If there was anyone in the Ashenlocke Family capable of turning a serious presentation into something no one could predict, it would undoubtedly be her.
The only thing they hadn't expected...
Was that someone, actually existed who could keep up with her pace.
