The emperor, expecting news from a mission that had taken only three days by his measure, was puzzled when Jude indicated that it had actually been over a month in his experience. Time, it seemed, flowed differently for each of them, a perplexing revelation that hinted at the mysterious forces at play.

Jude described the urgency of the situation, emphasizing the imminent threat posed by the witch's malevolent magic.
