"Explain this madness!" the king demanded, his voice echoing with authority.
The head farmer stepped forward, anxiety etched across his face. "Your Highness, we're baffled. It's as if a dark magic has cursed our crops. We've never seen anything like this before."
King Alexandria, now more intrigued than furious, surveyed the desolate fields. "Dark magic, you say?"
The head farmer nodded. "Yes, Your Highness. We've sought the counsel of Lydia, but even her wisdom couldn't unravel this mystery."
At that moment, Lydia arrived, her eyes scanning the damaged crops. "Your Majesty, this is indeed an unnatural occurrence. It surpasses our understanding."
"Are there any signs of who might be behind this?" the king inquired.
