Selma Payne's POV:
"Go find the Council of Elders and tell them to spread the word that they're not here to bother you. If those old men don't even dare to do such a thing, you don't have to care then. You can stay in the palace and close the door to the guests. You can also use some witchcraft to lock the door or hide your traces. Don't be afraid of causing trouble, my dear. When I return, I will settle the score with the Council of Elders!"
Before I left, they promised me they would take care of Dorothy. Now, trouble came knocking on my door the moment I left. These old men really know how to put on a front!
Moreover, the 'synesthesia vision' plan was a secret, and Dorothy's ability was even more confidential, be it her identity as the witch of fables or the more top-secret Eye of Insight. Now that so many people knew Dorothy's identity, it would be a lie to say that he had nothing to do with the Council of Elders!
