Prince Algis wondered why he was being asked to come into the hall while the others were still in the teahouse. However, he understood when he saw that quite some palace knights had forcibly entered the residence.
"What disrespectful deeds have you done?" Prince Algis was angered by the actions of the palace knights.
"Forgive us, Prince, but this is an order from His Majesty. You and your companions are to be brought to the palace!"
Prince Algis was surprised and turned to General Adelman, who had stopped Guren to explain what he knew. "Were you expecting all this, General?"
"Yes, because word will surely reach His Majesty if we ask the soldiers to remove the corpses from the residence! It's time we told His Majesty, Prince!" General Adelman said.
Prince Algis closed his eyes. For someone who was not very active in politics, General Adelman was quite familiar with how news travels fast and how to handle it without causing harm.
