Two days went by at the Red Palace, with the usual routine going on. The students didn't know yet, at least those who didn't have a connection to the army, but things were going to change.
Erik woke up at his usual time, washed himself, and went to wake Benedict. This had become their routine since Benedict struggled to wake up on his own.
"Ugh... good morning," Benedict said when Erik entered his room.
"C'mon, we are going to be late..."
Both Erik's and Ben's phones rang. They both got a message.

"What could this be? Hey Benedict, did you receive this too?" Erik asked. Benedict grabbed his phone.
"I have no idea."
Erik opened the message and downloaded the file in a few seconds. When he clicked on the video, a man's image appeared.
