"What is the matter?" Eve hurriedly asked her brother. "What is it that you truly want to tell me, big brother? If it is not Her Majesty that has a problem, then could it be that the problem was with His Majesty at the border instead?"

"Do not tell me, His Majesty..." Eve's words trailed off, and her eyes widened in shock. "What exactly happened to His Majesty? What is it, big brother? Is it serious? Is it very serious?"

Number Ten let out a low sigh before answering his sister, "This problem is indeed related to His Majesty. The news I just received said that His Majesty is wounded at the border after facing Seth's ambush. He is now recuperating at the camp."
