"Sit down."
Sharnoth ordered in an authoritative tone.
Everyone turned towards the Queen and their expressions changed. Their Queen looked… much calmer than before.
It looked like they were once again watching the Queen they had decided to follow.
"Lady Sharnoth."
Varys greeted. The rest of the Council Members followed and bowed their heads as well. Everyone settled down like they were told to; Siara was no exception.
By now, Sharnoth had arrived at the table and settled down as well.
She looked over at the Council Members—three of them were missing.
After Maeve left, two more had left just like her, and the rest didn't stay out of loyalty either. Sharnoth killed the third Council Member who attempted to leave; the rest stayed out of fear. Most of them were waiting for the chance to get away.
If Sharnoth ordered them to use the Portal now, she was sure that every single one of them would take this chance to escape.
