Barov was waken up by his servant.
During the wartime, the staff of the Administrative Office stood vigil in turns so that they could notify Barov immediately in case anything out of ordinary happened.
Edith no longer worked in the Administrative Office, but she still had certain influences on Roland. Barov always tended to seek counsels of the General Staff before making a plan. The presence of such a genius rival constantly reminded Barov to work hard.
Nevertheless, this was not the only reason Barov was so dedicated to his work.
In fact, he enjoyed being busy, as being busy represented power. It meant that Neverwinter needed him. Also, His Majesty would trust him even more if he succeeded in his undertaking.
Barov slid off the bed and pulled on his clothes. "Speak up. What's the matter now?"
"Sir, this is an order from the king. He calls a meeting at the boardroom in the castle. All the ministers should be there at once."
