Chapter 7: Countdown To Awakening (2)
『 1 Day Left Until the Awakening Ceremony. 』
The daybreak in the North was rather a splendid event to behold. The snow faintly glowed beneath the rising sun, and although it didn’t melt, it brought a sense of comfort knowing that they would have some source of warmth.
However, the doors of Arcain Castle were shut today, and everything appeared composed.
This was because the most anticipated event of the year was finally approaching.
To others, it might have seemed like a normal awakening ceremony, but to the heads and vice-heads, it was a political war.
The higher the rank of their newly awakened’s talent, the more power they would hold in the North, and the more assured they could be that their clan wouldn’t fall.
That was why the awakening ceremony was held in such high regard, not just in the North but in all other regions of power.
"Let the meeting begin," the undoubtedly gentle voice of Alica rang through a rather dimly lit room.
Within this very obsidian council chamber, lit by silver chandeliers and lined with demonic dragon relics, the discussion of the Tether Ceremony’s final logistics had begun.
At the head of the curved table sat Alica Arcain, the matriarch of the Arcain Clan. Her presence was just as dominating, if not more so, than the other heads of the northern region.
Her white hair hung over her shoulder, and her crimson eyes shone brightly, causing the breath of the servants in the room to hitch.
"As I said last year, I think we should take extra precautions so as not to repeat the events of last year," the voice of the head of the House Snowveil of the Northern Elf Clan rang out.
