In the council chamber, the noble council members remained complacent.
They believed it was their victory and suppression of Perfikot, that even though she was the all-powerful Lord of the Northern Territory, she must obediently accept the interrogation of the Noble Council without any resistance.
This was a reflection of the Noble Council's authority and also a demonstration of their power.
To a considerable number of noble council members, Perfikot's previous warning about the "end of the world" was seen as a blatant stunt, and so they mocked her.
To this day, she has already become a key minister of the Empire, but this matter has always been a thorn in both their sides.
The noble council members who mocked Perfikot feared she would retaliate against them for this, while some members believed they did nothing wrong; a woman like Perfikot should not have entered politics in the first place, let alone become a high-ranking noble above them.
