"You can leave," Castle Minister Mespien waved his hand and gestured to the lead knight to leave the hall.
"Yes!" the knight nodded and bowed before he turned around and opened the hall's door to leave.
When the hall's door closed, Mespien gestured to Zevien and Vernisia with his hand and pointed at the chairs. "Please sit."
After Zevien and Vernisia sat down, Mespien put his elbows on the table and covered his mouth with crossed palms before speaking with a serious expression, "can you remove your hood before telling me the news?"
"No," Zevien shook his head. "This is for our safety. We do not want to get into trouble after relaying this news."
Princess Nerissa felt some familiarity in the voice, but she couldn't pinpoint it.
"Also, we can't say anything in the presence of people unrelated to the kingdom," Vernisia said as she glanced at Princess Nerissa and her group.
