"Lord, arriving!"
Miller stood at the entrance to the conference room and announced loudly.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room rose to their feet and turned their eyes toward the entrance.
Velin entered the conference room with a solemn expression, Kyle following beside him.
"Greetings, Lord (My Lord)." Everyone placed their right hands over their chests, bowed, and answered in unison.
Velin walked to the seat of honor and said, "Sit."

"Today is the first meeting in ten years, and it is also the time to reward merit." Seated at the head of the table, Velin looked around and spoke.
