"Is this the reason the meeting was called?"
Veylara questioned in a cold, frightening voice that sent shivers down Alaric's spine. Instinctively, he created a barrier around him, something that made Veylara let out a hollow laugh,
"You think that little thing would be enough to protect you?"
"W-What…?"
Alaric stuttered, he couldn't even fully express himself.
Yes, the Archmage was that scared.
"Veylara, calm down."
Finally, the King spoke up as he stared at Veylara with a neutral look on his face.
Of course, Alaric wasn't the only one who was intimidated by her, even the King was no exception. For now, however, he managed to keep his poker face.
"Your Majesty, do you not see the greed in his eyes!?"
Veylara snapped.
"Greed!? What greed!? I am only doing this for the sake of the Kingdom and the World! If such ability truly exists, do you think we would face as many difficulties as we are currently facing while dealing with Corrupted Beasts and the Twilight!?"
