"A messenger from the capital with a royal edict appearing here in Eworin?... That can't be right".
He has a lot of questions following this revelation, but none could do justice to the confusion.
"I thought so too my lord. But there is a carriage waiting outside the gate with lots of armed guards claiming they are from the capital and to allow them passage".
"You haven't let them in".
"Not yet my lord. I couldn't allow them in without prior confirmation from you"
He would have rested his palm on the guard's shoulder as a compliment for what he had done. A shame that his height does not permit such action.
"Dustin, go and call on Vincent and Anna. And you, take me there". He ordered.
He wanted to go all out when it came to welcoming the delegations from the capital. It's also odd to think that the capital would send delegations to this faraway land.
'Wait!...'.
