Let Them Make Noise

A raven landed in the garden of the Royal Palace of Wisteria, where the King of Eastshire resided.

Lord Edmond took the cylinder from his raven’s leg. After opening the letter, a wry chuckle escaped his lips as he read Ethan's reply.

“Did he agree to come?” King Austen asked.

“It will be best if you read it for yourself, Your Majesty,” Lord Edmond answered as he handed the paper containing Ethan’s reply to the King’s invitation, asking him to come and visit the Royal Palace.

King Austen read the contents and sighed, making his wife, Queen Evane, look at him askance.

“He said the Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy asked him to keep a low profile,” King Austen said as he handed the letter to his wife. “He also said he'll only agree to come on two conditions—the first condition is if Professor Rinehart agrees, and the second condition is if Edmond would personally pick him up from the academy.”
