At the duke's mansion in the capital city of the Astellia kingdom, a man clad in a luxurious robe is sitting on top of his seat while tapping his fingers on the desk while looking at the kneeling man before him with a stern look.
The kneeling man is using a black mask and a black cloak, judging from the obvious fear in his eyes, he's currently kneeling as he's waiting for a severe judgment from his master before him.
"I see... So not only did you fail to kill or capture the prince, you didn't manage to kill a single of them, and lost all of the men dispatched on the mission. Is that what you're saying?" The man asked with a calm voice.
"Yes, my lord..." The kneeling man replied with a small voice.
"You fool!" The man hits the table with a powerful force, destroying the desk in front of him into two different parts.
The man kneeling jolted because of the loud voice, and lowered his head further, knowing that his end wouldn't be far.
