Chapter 164 Noble Meeting PT:1

After giving the speech about the merging of the two empires Gram called a meeting of all the nobles in his kingdom. This was because he knew that some where not loyal and may even be malicious. In other words Gram was going to survey wether the nobles should be removed or kept with them.

Gram also asked Daedalus to watch the room and see what the people are like. In this way there would be multiple perspectives to see who should be removed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

About ten minutes after Gram had called the meeting the first nobles started to arrive. Daedalus seeing this released his divine sense and began listening to the conversations, at the same time he also activated a technique he had learned as a precaution. The technique was called Undetected, it may have a simple name however it was said that if you reached the highest levels of the technique you would be able to hide undetected from even the heavens themselves.

So as he used his technique Daedalus began to hear what the nobles where saying. One middle aged noble "Why should we merge the empires if anything we are far stronger and should just take their lands!"

Gram glared at the man and said calmly with a hidden rage "I would like to hear you say that once more."

The man shuddered and said "I am sorry your majesty. I was insensitive and rash. But I will not lie, we are far stronger! So why are we merging with them and letting that prince be emperer?"

Gram sighed and said "I know you are ambitious Aricius but you need to use your head and not your muscles. He and my daughter are married, and with children. You are the second strongest behind me, you should act like it."

Aricius nodded and sat down in a more proper manner. As he did another sat up and said "I do not agree! It is foolish, we are leaving the reins to these people and letting it be!? I will not except this!"

Gram replied calmly once more saying "Even with what I told you before, Mortermer?"

Mortermer nodded and continued saying "No I do not think that is a good enough reason to merge with a weaker empire and let them lead."

Gram nodded and moved on. Daedalus however took a closer look and checked his karma. Daedalus was mortified, Mortermer had a dark almost crimson red karmic aura. Having seen this aura Daedalus was deeply considering to run in there and kill the foul demon. Before that though Daedalus decided to check everyone else in the room as well as ask Gram about their pasts.

Daedalus then took his time to check every single person in the room. Aricius actually hada rather blinding gold karmic aura much to Daedalus' suprise. There where also a few others like him though with a far dimmer aura around them as well as a few more like Mortermer though with lighter reds.
