Rasmus looked at the branch quarters of the South Neva Union in front of him. It looked like a palace, comparable to the parliament palace of Lineva. Aris tagged along since she had a different reason to come.
"Count Blackheart, Lady Aristoria, please follow me," Uriel's knight greeted them and pointed his hand at the palace.
They were escorted into the palace and went straight to the meeting hall where Thalior was waiting for them. The moment they walked into the meeting hall, a few unfamiliar faces were sitting at the table.
"Count Blackheart, Lady Aristoria, please have a seat," Thalior pointed at the two empty seats. "And I'll introduce you to the ladies and gentlemen," he looked at the six figures at the table.
Rasmus and Aris sat at the table and looked at the familiar faces first, Uriel and Bishop Harold. The other four, whom he had never seen before, were two old men, an old lady, and a middle-aged man who seemed to have keen eyes.
