Capítulo 332: Chapter 332: The Council Leader They Deserve

I hurried down the hall behind the Council's exit, in yet another long corridor lined with wooden doors. It still wasn't hard to find the one hiding my mother-her power came through loud and clear.

I paused at the furthest and knocked quickly, heart racing. I hadn't been allowed a moment alone with her since, almost an hour ago, she'd been led out by the Council to prepare for taking on her new role. My attempts to talk to her mentally got me nowhere so storming my way to her door was a last resort.

We just had to talk about this.

The door jerked open after a moment, the annoying little secretary standing on the other side, looking down his nose through his glasses at me just like before.

"Yes?"

I rolled my eyes and held my temper. "I'm here to see Miriam Hayle."

His rat-like little eyes narrowed. "She's far too busy," he said. "I'll schedule you an appointment for next week. If you think it's important."
