"Your Majesty, urgent report!"
Everyone was seemingly frozen by the voice that came from outside the hall. Terone, for one, juggled his memories if he had someone who would report to him like this. Of course, aside from those annoying secret men that would pay too much attention to everything he did. Well, the answer was no… but since he was named, he could only pretend this man was his. "Speak."
"..." Silence came after as if the guard actually hesitated. "...Your Majesty..."—the man's voice was solemn—"Head Emperor Zinigrid is crossing the mountains and is headed towards Talcum. He's accompanied by red demon commanders from Tetroka."
The only noise that came after was Rumina's gasp. All the men were terrified of this news. Larkin wasn't really, but he was worried about Artie. His secret men would never lie and would never report falsehood. If they saw Zinigrid headed this way, then… it would be trouble. Big trouble.
