Upon arrival, Kiara was escorted directly toward the Head's residence.
Meanwhile, Ignis naturally followed behind.
At this point, nobody could stop him.
Technically, he had become her disciple.
And disciples possessed rights.
Much to Kiara's annoyance.
The result was that Ignis ended up sleeping beneath the same roof, only a few rooms away from Kiara and Arceus.
The next morning, around nine o'clock, Kiara and Juren Frost were invited to meet several important figures.
The meeting room was spacious and elegant.
Incense burned quietly in bronze burners.
Tea rested upon a polished table.
Two Grand Elders sat beside the acting Head.
Since the real Head remained in closed-door cultivation, authority temporarily rested in the hands of Acting Head Isidore.
Juren remained silent throughout.
His role was simple.
Protection.
Intimidation.
And occasionally making clients nervous enough to accept favorable terms.
