Salute To The General

The crowd followed Garrett, the Chief Military Governor, and Cayden into the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor.

Cayden frowned slightly upon crossing the threshold. The lack of festive decorations in the hall was a vastly different scene than the grand inauguration he had imagined.

Garrett took his seat before the Great Cabinet. The twenty-eight ministers, and the loyal veterans of the army followed suit and took their seats in an orderly manner according to the names on their seats. A group of well-dressed waitresses brought them tea before hurriedly retreating.

Layden glanced around. Around the hall, armed members of the Felidae Battalion stood guard behind every column.

When everybody was seated, Layden discovered to his increasing bewilderment that he was the only one who could not find a seat with his name on it.

In addition, Cayden found that aside from guards who were on duty to maintain order, he and the Chief Military Governor were the only ones remaining on their feet.
