The atmosphere in the Prime Minister's mansion was very tense that even the servants did not dare to make a noise. Duke Ermintel was sitting inside his office with a dark expression. The duke remained seated until he heard a crisp sound of knocking coming from the door. With his permission, a knight trusted by him and Queen Merille entered the office.
It was Milton.
He gave a salute to Duke Ermintel first before he stepped inside the office. He fished out a folded letter from his inner pocket and gave it to the duke. Duke Ermintel received the letter and unfold it. As he continued to read the letter, the dark expression on his face became worse. After that, he fiercely tore the letter from his hands and threw it on the floor.
"That bastard Johannes!"
