The room went quiet, the only sound reaching everyone's ears was coming from Lythion's voice. His father had gestured for him to speak, and he went on spouting the words in his head out loud without thinking about what his father would say.
"I object, Father." He repeated to everyone's hearing. The two guards stared at him, confused about his involvement but remained quiet as usual.
His father raised his head and squinted to take a long stare at Lythion, trying to see if he was actually the one who objected to him or if it was someone else entirely.
"Is that truly Lythion speaking?" He asked, noticing his eyes weren't betraying him, but maybe his ears were.
"Yes, Father. It is I, Lythion, your son speaking." He bowed slightly in respect, then raised his head to everyone.
His father glanced down at the floor, giving the room a moment of silence. "If it is really you, then tell me, why do you object to my decision? Do you have a tangible reason for this?".
