[The Emperor's Study]
"Your Majesty, Count Atraxil requests a private audience."
"Ah..." Emperor Haleth looked up at the door and nodded, "...Butler. Let him in."
The door shut and then soon, it was opened again.
"Your Majesty," Count Atraxil's voice bounced off the study walls. "I thank you for granting my plea. I come bearing urgent news."
At this, the Emperor closed his book and folded his arms above his desk. "Pray tell."
"It is regarding the agreement with Clatoise," Count Atraxil looked nervously at the Emperor.
"You may carry on."
