He studied the profile of the Grado general to his right, before turning his attention to the rest at the conference table. Gillian was exchanging words quietly with Duessel, his green dress uniform a stark contrast to the black. Prince Innes sat to the other side of Ephraim with Princess Tana flanking him. The crown prince of Frelia, as usual, was scowling at Ephraim, while his sister appeared to be admonishing him about something. Vice Admiral Syrene of the Royal Frelian Navy sat next to Her Royal Highness, conversing softly with her sister and subordinate – Commodore Vanessa.

The burly man acted more like a guardian than a vassal at times, and his enthusiasm often made Seth smile in spite of himself. Prince Joshua, a solemn figure since the battle, was actually smiling at something Sister Natasha said. Rounding out those seated at the table were the commanders of the mercenary group “ITHILDIN” – Colonel Gerik, commanding officer; Captain Tethys of the stealth cruiser Aes Dana, that served as the flagship of Ithildin’s limited naval presence; Captain Marisa of their special operations division, widely known as the Crimson Flash in professional circles.
