Chapter 68. The First

The king’s herald just arrived a few moments ago wet in rain. It is agreed under the creed of King Edward II that ‘the king’s matter is urgent.’

“Please, I need one more day.”

“At first I gave you two days but today is the third day. The king’s herald just arrived with a message from the king. I am sorry but Baron Absalom will be announced as the new Baron of Wizithon and you…”

The courtier’s words were pushed back to his throat when Wizithon’s herald rushed into the throne hall yelling, “My Lord..."

"My Lord!”

Lord Ramsey turned and fixes his gaze at the herald. “What’s the matter?" he asked.

The courtier seems unhappy for being interrupted. He glared at the herald and spoke with anger. “How dare you interrupt me?”

“Forgive me, Lord, I have good news.”

“What good news?”

Lord Ramsey was eager to hear what the herald of Wizithon has to say. His eyes are aglow with eagerness as he fixes his eyes on him in expectation.
