The Matriarch Adastria suddenly stood up, causing her seventh daughter to retreat three steps in fright.
Miss Eglou looked at her biological mother, Adastria, with a face full of terror, as if she were staring at a deadly viper, not her own mother.
The sight of her incompetent offspring made Adastria's eyes even more menacing. She said, "Eglou, I don't want to hear any excuses, nor do I want to hear..."
"Bang!" A loud noise from outside interrupted Adastria's words.
"Nor do I want to hear..."
"Bang! Silence! The Constabulary is investigating!" A voice from the viewing stand interrupted Adastria again.
Adastria: "..."
She was silent for a moment. The voices from outside the viewing stand were somewhat noisy, but the Sheriff's Arcane Amplifier no longer emitted the angry shout that irked her.
Adastria opened her mouth and then fell silent...
Ellie Miller thought that this seemingly difficult Drow Matron might have... forgotten her lines.
