"A war is coming?" Nigel exclaimed and asked, "Who has declared the war?"
"Mihir." Theodore sighed and added, "They have not declared the war yet, but we got to know their plans through someone."
"Who is that someone? Is the information genuine?" Nigel went into denial because Wyverndale had always been in a cold war with Mihir but both of the Kingdoms never attacked each other as it was not possible due to geographical barriers.
Theodore did not want to tell everything to Nigel right now and spoil the chance for Adeline to ask for Nigel's help in her own way. So he just summarized what he knew, "Yes, the information is genuine. Adeline said that she even came face to face with some of the people from Mihir. They might strike on Wyverndale within six months. So, Adeline is gathering allies."
The seriousness of the situation hit Nigel hard. He fisted over his mouth and let that information to settle down in his mind.
