After a brief pause, Sarika said solemnly, "Before we announce anything to the world, we should first convene a council meeting and decide collectively. This is a matter of great importance. I believe the council has the right to hear it before anyone else. We can make a public declaration after the meeting concludes."
Erevan nodded. "I agree with you. Then I shall call an emergency council meeting for tomorrow at 12 GMT."
Sarika gave a small approving smile. "That would be best for everyone. No matter where they are, all members should be able to attend by that time."
Without hesitation, Erevan picked up his phone and dialed his secretary. "Call an emergency council meeting tomorrow at 12 GMT. It's mandatory… everyone must be present," he said firmly, then ended the call.
After setting down the phone, he looked at the priest, who was sitting calmly, her face serene, unaffected by the storm brewing around them. A sigh escaped his lips as he regarded her peaceful demeanor.
