"Please let me meet the Grand Duke of Adri immediately!"
The words of the man resounded in the entire hall. And it was followed by a deafening silence afterward. What could only be heard was a simple 'thud' from a wooden drinking beer barrel hitting the table with its bottom.
The noise made everyone shift their attention in the direction where it came from.
Mona did the same too. And she finally spotted where her companions were. Taking advantage of the silence and frozen reactions of the other customers, she glided to reach their table. The four knights noticed her and quickly stood up.
Reaching her destination, she decided to break the silence with her question. "May I ask why are you looking for the Grand Duke?"
Her tone was polite, yet the man ignored her and repeated his request to the clerk behind the counter. "I have an important message from Duke Wynzel. So let me meet his grace immediately. It is an urgent matter!"
