This was Angel's second visit to the Hall of Wisdom.
Last time, to avoid being spied on by Adanis in the mirror, they conversed in a secret chamber. This time, however, they were seated directly in the hall, discussing with the Wise Sovereign.
The previously dreaded and avoided Adanis was also present.
But she did not take a seat; instead, she was concealed within the mirror on the high wall, overlooking everyone from above.
On the gilded round table, the lit candles emitted a hissing noise.
The air was filled with a faint fragrance.
After everyone was seated, the Wise Sovereign's gaze never left Angel, as if time had paused at that moment.
After a while, until Adanis in the mirror let out an impatient cold snort, the Wise Sovereign chuckled lightly.
"Is this the effect you wanted?"
Angel looked innocent: "Wise Sovereign, what effect are you referring to?"
"You should know very well in your heart." The Wise Sovereign said this, glanced at Adanis, then smiled at Angel.
