Inside a decently sized room, with simple furnishings and dull lighting, a group of men sat in gloom. There were four high ministers of the royal court, and ten other active ministers. They all sat around a simple, ornate desk that had the head seat empty.
The atmosphere inside was heavy with tension as they awaited their leader, the grand vizier, Victor Malverin.
All these ministers gathered had heard rumors of the outburst that had occurred in the grand vizier's mansion only a day ago; in fact, everyone in the kingdom had heard something.
Though what triggered this outburst was still unknown, all that followed was that the grand vizier had suddenly put his entire mansion on lockdown, permitting no entries or exits.
And now, the grand vizier had suddenly called for a meeting of all members of his faction to their secret meeting place, which was only supposed to happen in emergencies.
