When all the guests retreated to their respective chambers at night, King Edric was meeting with Commander Nicklaus Elan on the chamber where he used to handle his work.
"I apologize for coming this late, Your Majesty," the young Commander said to the King who was sitting on a chair opposite him. "It's a happy occasion and I know you're busy with the guests," he added with his head lowered.
"You avoid the gatherings but you came to meet me," Edric Maselli said. "It's obvious that there is something urgent, Commander Nicklaus." He paused and asked, "What is it?"
"There is a problem in the northern border, Your Majesty," Nicklaus Elan informed the King. "The Lezarian soldiers start a fight again but like always, they withdraw before things get serious. Both sides are careful, so there is no death but we have some injuries."
Hearing the news, King Edric slammed the table before him in rage! "Why did they always do this?!" he grunted.
