Chapter 662: 662 Guard Trio

Nimue got down from Wolfe's arms to enter the dining hall with dignity, and the group found that they were very close to the first ones to arrive. 

The only other ones there were the guards keeping an eye on the statues, and a collection of minor nobles at the side tables who always arrived early so that they wouldn't accidentally insult the upper nobles by interrupting them.

"The others will be here in ten or fifteen minutes. There were some issues with the selection for the guard team that will be going with you, Patriarch." One of the guards explained.

"Oh? If it's so challenging to find volunteers, I'm sure we can work something out." Wolfe replied.

"That's not it. They're unhappy with the selection method, and some of the ones who were excluded feel that they should be able to challenge for a spot, which would mean a full on contest, and that would take days at the very least.

The Queen went to sort it out, and everyone else went to spectate."
