Aditya slowly walked to the head of the long dining table before taking his seat, facing every noble leader gathered inside the hall. The seat had been reserved exclusively for him, symbolising not only his position as the leader of the Anti-Emperor Faction but also the man whom everyone present hoped would soon ascend the Imperial Throne.
On either side of him sat the three pillars of the Harrington Faction.
To his right were Boris and Wahid.
To his left sat Malakor Harrington.
The moment Aditya took his seat, everyone else followed suit, sitting down one after another. The lively conversations that had filled the dining hall moments earlier instantly came to an end, and a solemn silence settled over the room. Every pair of eyes was now focused on the young man seated at the head of the table.
"There are several things that I would like to address tonight." Aditya's calm voice echoed throughout the spacious dining hall as his gaze slowly swept across every noble leader present.
