At such a serious time, Sienna didn't think the falcon relatives would take the identity of the one chosen to lift the lid so seriously. Ten minutes passed and the debate got more heated! Finally, she had to step in, pushing people apart.
"If you are all so eager to lift the lid, why don't you open it together? That way, if it explodes, at least you will go out as a family."
They froze, as if she had pressed pause.
Elias smirked. "Sienna, your humor stings worse than the hits from your pan."
Mrs. Miller touched Sienna's arm. "Maybe we should move the box outside and have Elias open it with his mental strength, while everyone stands at a safe distance away. This way, nobody risks being hurt."
Uncle Jorik picked up the box and hurried outside, before a new argument over who should lift it could break out. The rest followed quickly, whispering like excited chicks. Hardly had Jorik set the box down when lion guards swept into the courtyard, accompanying the queen.
