While Abel, Conan, Dexter, and Isaiah talked about their plans for the Maganti Empire, Aries remained silent. Obviously, none of the three opposed Abel's plans, since it was pointless to talk him out of it. Just like he claimed, he took whatever they had done to Aries personally.
Although Abel's usual light tone had always been there, every single one of them in this dining hall was aware of one thing. He meant it and they wouldn't like him getting angry which might push Abel to march to the said empire himself.
And that... his determination to get even for Aries moved her. No one said sorry to her when the Kingdom of Rikhill had fallen from its grace. Nor there was anyone who expressed their disgust, anger, and hatred in her stead.
Only Abel... only the devil and a tyrant like him.
