"Everyone's waiting," Drooby said, his voice carrying a hint of challenge.
Melody didn't flinch. "Oh? Really?" she asked, her tone even.
She continued, "I'll be the next owner of this. It only makes sense to check if the Veinspire Codex is truly Mr. Liam's work."
Her statement left no room for debate.
Melody's fingers moved quickly, flipping through the pages with the ease of someone who had seen it all before. It didn't seem like she was doing anything out of the ordinary.
After a cursory glance, she turned her attention to the second box. All eyes were on her as she lifted the lid, revealing an island map.
A heavy silence filled the room. The Cleussauan crowd watched intently as Melody unfolded the map and then retrieved a lease agreement tucked underneath it.
"It's Moonflora Island," someone muttered.
"It's one of the southernmost islands in our territory. Although it's only about 54 thousand square feet, the surrounding waters are vast. For centuries, Moonflora Island was part of Cleussau. But a hundred years ago, Gregoria took advantage of the chaos and leased it from us for three hundred years," another voice explained.
"Is that the document Melody's holding?"
"Gregoria really went all in for this. But doesn't anyone else think their intentions are terrible? If it weren't for Melody's victory, they would have shown us that document and used it to humiliate Cleussau. They'd make us look weak, like we couldn't reclaim what was rightfully ours."
