A familiar voice came, drawing the attention of everyone present.
The grand doors of the council hall were gently pushed open, and Charlotte, dressed in a black noble gown, appeared in everyone's sight.
Sebastian was the first to react.
The Flame Elf almost instantly rose from his seat, his expression filled with surprise.
"Master!"
He quickly knelt on one knee, his right hand placed on his chest as he made a gesture of respect.
Seeing the girl who had entered, the knights and nobles closest to the door were also slightly stunned.
Then, they too stood up one after another, bowing respectfully:
"Count!"
"Count!"
"Count..."
Respectful voices echoed through the council hall like a series of reverberations.
As if triggering a chain reaction, the nobles and knights throughout the hall rose like a field of wheat swaying in the wind, and then bowed one after another:
"Count!"
Charlotte's gaze slowly swept across the hall.
