Ryker’s frown deepened at the words. It was the second time the king had called upon an emergency meeting and Ryker was getting a bad feeling about it. It didn’t help that he was in the capital when all these problems began happening.
Holding back a sigh of annoyance, Ryker took the letter from the page boy before he said, “Have the stables prepare a carriage for me.”
“Yes, your grace.” The page boy bowed before hurrying off.
Once the boy was gone, Ryker headed back to his office, placing the pastry tray down. He then turned his attention to the letter. Grabbing the letter opener, Ryker broke the seal before opening it to read the short note.
Your attendance at the palace is required for an urgent meeting at noon. More information will be stated in the meeting for the kingdom’s safety.
King Thurstan.
