There were two receiving areas inside the Tower of Conclave's south tower. The first one was where guests usually go after arriving, while the second was a big room where only invited guests could enter.
This room was where Callan led Silas after entering the south tower. It was located in the back of the first floor and occupied almost a quarter of its whole circumference.
The room had a simple decoration. A red carpet embroidered with gold vines covered the floor, while the ceiling was bare with floating gold lanterns scattered around. At the center of the room stood a high chair on top of a raised platform. A long thin white fabric surrounded the platform, making it hard for anyone to clearly see the person seated on the high chair.
Callan and Silas entered the room.
Immediately, Silas's sense of smell was assaulted with a vanilla scent.
I was supposed to post the chapter before the scene with Kyran, but I realized there was not much progress to the plot, so I decided to include their scene. At least by next chapter, I can focus on Kyran's perspective again ^^
