Although he told me not to act frightened but my heart panicked.
"What was he talking about? The kingdom under siege?How is that even possible?" I thought. It meant that there was probably an unresolved dispute between the kingdom of Aeradon and another kingdom that I did not know about.
Aeradon hadn't been involved in any war for as long as I could remember, the last battle they fought was probably when I was a very young child which happened to be the one Adriel narrated to me about his father being killed during the war.
So I wondered what caused another kingdom to start a war against us unexpectedly, and how did they succeeded in getting into the kingdom past the watchful eyes of the outskirt protectors.
He left me and walked towards the exit while I stood there shocked for a moment, it took about ten seconds to jerk back to reality, and reminded myself that the more time I wasted the more dangerous the situation may get.
