Tristan waited, the silence deafening as tension filled the air. Rising, he looked to Elias, who lazily leaned on the armrest, but by his side were Lord Deacon and Lord Fox. Tristan would have thought he was the only one bothered by the tension standing in front of Lord Deacon's cold expression and William's playful smirk, but looking around and seeing Oscar Doyle and Edward Chamber, the Lawmaker of the council, with a nervous expression, he knew he wasn't alone.
The Lord Invigilator looked around for a moment before smiling. It was a soft smile compared to his sharp face and eyes, but entirely real. "It is an honour for you to see me so quickly, Your Highness. Lord Elvissia was worried after you never replied to his letters regarding the actions of Cardinal Brown and the Church. I am here to rectify this misunderstanding."
