Selena and her triplets were about heading out of the packhouse when a young servant approached them quickly, bowing as she stopped.
"My lady."
Selena paused.
"The elders request your presence in the western council chamber."
The triplets exchanged brief glances.
Edris's brow lifted slightly. "Convenient timing."
Selena considered the message for a moment.
A summons from the elders could not be ignored.
She turned to the brothers.
"Wait for me in your room," she said calmly. "I will not be long."
Ronan studied her face. "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Kael's gaze lingered on her a moment longer than the others before he finally nodded.
"We'll wait."
Selena inclined her head once before turning down the corridor toward the council wing.
The summons had been delivered with courtesy.
That alone told Selena the meeting would not be casual.
She entered the western council chamber just before midday.
