"Do you feel that?" Emperor Kaan murmured, his voice low as if trying to catch something in the air.
"Feel what, Your Majesty?"
The aide glanced around nervously, then closed his eyes, trying to sense what the emperor meant. But nothing came to him—his powers were far too weak to catch something so subtle.
Emperor Kaan's eyes fell on a large tapestry showing ravens, the symbol of the Kingdom of Eira. He extended his hand. His fingertips brushed over the rough fabric as he scowled.
"There's something here," he said. He stepped closer, inspecting the tapestry more carefully. It was more than mere decoration—that much was certain. He could feel it.
Without hesitation, the emperor seized the edge of the tapestry and ripped it from the wall. Dust billowed as the fabric crumpled to the floor, revealing a hidden door.
"A door? Why would they hide a door?" the aide blurted out, surprised.
