On the open seas near Aurore Island, the Royal fleet of the Spring Kingdom confronted a sizable ship flying the flag of the Autumn Kingdom. Even to an inexperienced eye, it was apparent that the ship was not designed for battle but for commerce, lacking any visible weaponry on its hull or elsewhere.
A young man in black leather armor, accompanied by a few soldiers, stood on the deck. The King, unflappable, asked, "What brings the Autumn Kingdom's ship into someone else's battlefield?"
"Greetings, your grace," began the young man. "I have been ordered by my King to deliver a message to you. If you would be so kind as to hear me out, I will convey it."
The King, intrigued, nodded at the young soldier. "Very well. Speak."
The soldier responded, "The Grand Magic Judiciary has issued an order to suspend the use of fires until a joint meeting with the leaders of the four grand kingdoms takes place."
