Vladya observed as usual in silence. Despite his blood boiling and the multitude of thoughts swirling within him, his demeanor betrayed no emotion.

For five centuries, this debate had raged on. Every lord in this court well aware of his stance regarding the feral creature. Yet, Zaiper always managed to twist the narrative, suggesting Vlady was indifferent to the people's welfare, motivated solely by selfish reasons to keep the beast alive. He was accused of valuing the memory of his deceased best friend over the very lives of his people

Following Zaiper's accusation two years prior, Vladya ceased defending the issue in court. Not because he cared about Zaiper and the high lords's opinion of him, but because there was a sliver of doubt deep down.

Perhaps, just perhaps, there was a kernel of truth to Zaiper's words. Perhaps, in his heart, Vladys did prioritize saving Daemonikai over the lives of his own people. And that thought was unsettling, for despite his outward detachment, Vladya genuinely cared for his people.

"The time has come to do what is necessary," Zaiper declared, his voice carrying an air of finality. "We must kill the beast."

Lord Ottai looked at Vladya with a mixture of pity and sorrow. Vladya ignored him.

A heavy silence fell upon the court.

"Then, we plan, and we execute," Zaiper drawled. "We begin with the Chalice. On the night of the eclipse moon, we perform the ritual to draw the beast out. We will all be weakened, yes, but so will the beast."

The proposal was met with a chorus of disapproval. The ritual was dangerous. They would all be left exposed and defenseless to unforeseen complications that may arise during the elimination.

The trauma of the last eclipse moon was still fresh in their minds, and the people would undoubtedly resist any attempt to hasten its arrival. It was one thing to know the night of darkness and helplessness was coming it was quite another to willingly summon it. Arguments erupted, swaying back and forth in a heated and protracted debate.
