Yze rose from his chair and approached the 'clock' slowly.
Only then did he notice its incredible craftsmanship. And within a few seconds of observing how the clock ticked in a constant, steady manner, realization immediately dawned on him—he predicted that this was a machine made to keep an accurate track of time!
"When Bart Vanderbilt and his family visited the Kingdom a few days ago, they presented this as a gift for your collection," the old advisor explained. "We weren't sure of its purpose, but we didn't wish to offend them by refusing it."
Yze continued to inspect the clock, running his fingers over the polished surface before carefully opening the latch to take a good look at the intricate mechanism hidden inside.
"This clock…" Yze uttered. "It will revolutionize the entire way life works in our whole world."
