Note: This chapter is a bit gory... for some people. So, proceed as you like.
It was my first council meeting. Everyone was seated at the round table, with me sitting on the head of the table's seat. As the empress, it's my right, isn't it?
Duke Hernal.
My father, who had a cold face, yet his eyes melted when his gaze met mine. I smiled at him, causing him to smile back at me like a doting parent he is.
Duke Rerfe's son, Hayden Rerfe.
He blushed whenever our gazed met.
Duke Yersfum.
A young man, almost around twenty-five years of age, with a stoic expression on his face. His eyes were light brown, his hair was light green, and his face was extremely good-looking.
Duke Matthew.
An old man, with a crooked face, and a sinister mind. Just by one look, I could say he would be a tough nut to crack.
Marquis Heolio.
A man around his forties, a scar under his left eye, and a face filled with wisdom.
Count Dernrick.
