Ernest was called to his father's office. It was early in the morning. He had an inkling that Castellan Stanislaus wished to see him to discuss his academic pursuit since graduation was near.
The Castellan was just beginning to speak when someone came into the office in a rush. "My Lord, this is bad! He is caught! What should we do, My Lord? What about the plan? Do we stop it? I doubt we can go ahead without his instructions, after all–"
"Enough, Bernard. Gather everyone immediately. I shall hold an emergency meeting to discuss this matter. Can we get in contact with any of The Shadow's representatives? Ernest, we shall postpone this conversation. Go back to your chamber now!"
Castellan Stanislaus rose from his seat, leaving the scattered documents on the desk. This issue must be very urgent as he did not bother to tidy his workspace and just set out of the office.
