Ou Juren's face turned extremely grim.
"What nonsense are you spouting? This is no place for your words! Guards! Throw him out!"
Inside the conference hall stood loyal Secret Guards. According to the rules, they were supposed to obey the High Lords. Prime Minister Ou Juren belonged to the High Lords, and if he ordered the removal of a non-High Lord—even if that person was the Prime Minister of the Military Affairs Department—their compliance was expected.
But... there wasn't just one High Lord present.
The guards exchanged glances, none willing to act first.
They were somewhat conflicted, their eyes drifting toward the seats of the High Lords.
This wasn't the first time Ou Juren had tried to eject Galaraldo. Previously, Ou Juren had demanded Galaraldo leave, but wasn't it the Prime Minister who had interjected to let him stay?
Maybe this was the Prime Minister's position again?
As for the internal power struggles between the High Lords, we mere guards best not meddle.
