The next day, the king's messenger arrived at Theodore's doorstep.
"It's a message from the great king of Sinatra," he yelled.
Theodore came out, waiting for this.
"Your Majesty has summoned you to the palace. Without a delay, you must get a carriage and go to the palace," that man announced.
Theodore came inside and Lila followed him.
"I must go now," Theodore said.
"Now? You said you would go at the end of this week?" She asks.
"That was my decision, but now my uncle has summoned me, I need to go," Theodore said.
"Then I must pack my things too,"
"No, you must stay here. I will come back soon,"
Nina frowns. "You said you would take me with you, why are you changing your decision now?" Nina asks.
"It's because I am afraid,"
"Do you think I would be safe here? What if Sargon attacks when you aren't here?"
"He won't do that," Theodore said.
