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.
