Sorry for the delay. Here- a long chapter as compensation.

Afternoon. The sky was dark, but not dark enough to ensure a rainfall.

The Royal Palace of Aurgoth.

King Leopold was walking to and fro in his room with a grimace on his face. His wife, who was sitting on the bed did nothing but following with her majestic eyes.

She had never seen the man she had spent more than half of her life with in such tension, barring his previous tantrum of course. She had been asking him for days what happened, but all she got in reply was his silence. She had already given up, knowing that her husband was one of the most stubborn man alive.

The king suddenly stopped and frowned. He scanned around the room, only to find nothing out of the ordinary.

He turned to his wife. "Leave."

The Queen frowned. "What-"

"Leave!" He bellowed, causing her whole body to twitch.

She bit her lips and got up, ready to depart from the room.
