Outside of the hidden passage, Moon Palace.
After sending off her sister, Raven lets out a huge sigh and says to herself "Alright old folks here I come".
Raven gets inside the palace discretely and is on her way to meet the elder's council, her mind is troubled as she is worried about her sister. Even though she is worried that doesn't make her dominance aura and presence to falter when she enters the great hall of the Moon Palace, her footsteps echo like thunder to show the people clearly that who is the ruler and who are the subjects.
She ascends to reach her throne and sits on it "The council may begin". She says without any emotion in her voice.
An elder gets up from his chair to speak "Raven, you do know that our situation is grim, yet you betrayed your people to save your sister. What do you have to speak for yourself".
"Choose your words correctly, are you accusing me of treason?". Her question roars like a lion.
"So, you all think that marrying Lena off to the 6th prince would secure positions in this realm. It will only make things worser if the words gets out that our relic has been stolen. Do you really think that the rest of the houses are fool enough to believe that we hold marriage of good interest especially to that good for nothing prince".
Raven's question makes a commotion between the elders, some side with her and some doesn't. After a long discussion between them an elder stands up to speak " we agree with you but still your sister needs to be punished for letting our relic to be stolen. My queen you must answer for this".
" We can't blame someone for something that we can't Forsee, Lena is now a soldier of the divine army you can do whatever you seem fit. That is if you are capable of doing that". She scoffs.
Clearly all the elders are angered after knowing Raven's doings, but what angers them more is that she disrespects them openly. "This is not the end for this", an anger driven elder shouts out with hatred.
"I think there is no more to argue in this matter, then you all may leave". After saying this she exits the great hall and heads to her chamber.
Meanwhile Lena has reached the army camp, Martin gets down first to help Lena to descend the carriage. "Welcome to the army camp, for the first few weeks you need to take good care of your body and heal. Afterwards I will train you". A young warrior comes to report to the captain, "by the way Lena this is Joel and Joel this is Lena. Take care of her for me will you I have some things to tend to". He waves goodbye to Lena and leaves them both alone.
"Then let me get you to your room". He says and Lena agrees with him by nodding and thanks him.
