Chương 460: Foul Moon (Part 2)

"I'm Duchess Sylla Ekna. I'll represent the interests of the Dawn Court and of its host, Awakened Verhen, during the parlay. Lieutenant Colonel Kaelan is the emissary from the Night Court, while Lich Inxialot is a neutral spectator on behalf of the Council."

The Banshee gave a graceful curtsy to the Lich first and to Kaelan later.

The vampire was aware of how volatile a Lich's behavior was, yet Sylla's breach of etiquette still angered him. So when the Lich kept staring into space without returning the greeting, Kaelan did the same.

It had been one of the ugliest nights in the last few centuries of his existence, and it kept getting worse by the hour.

His newest Vassal had managed to anger the only Awakened one for miles, someone even the Night Court was unaware of his existence. Kaelan had been forced to protect his investment and albeit his brief clash with Lith ended in a draw, he had suffered a humiliation nonetheless.
