The hall chosen for the meeting wasn't the grand atrium reserved for ceremonies or state affairs. This one was smaller—intimate by comparison—but more grand and organized than the other as torches lined the walls, casting long shadows across the floor. It was used only for matters of grave importance, that concerned the clans, and was attended by only the main family and the elders.
Tonight, the flames burned low, as if dimmed in mourning.
One by one, they entered.
Lady Nandi was the first among them to arrive. Dressed in a blue glowing gown as she made her way over to the seat nearest to the head, and beside her walked Neferura, the First Princess. It seems both mother and daughter decided to come to the meeting together which was a surprise and the same not Nandi's little pet has Mankhaura his dead, as she also sat beside her mother as both their shwt stood behind them.
