Council Meeting

In the Council room, five figures sat in luxurious chairs surrounding the rectangular table. Standing behind them were four royal knights, silently on standby.

King Radcliffe looked deeply troubled. The reason for this urgent meeting was the intelligence report brought forth by Edward concerning the incidental discovery of a tunnel.

Edward was currently presenting his findings.

"So, where did the tunnel lead, Edward?" the King asked.

"The tunnel begins in the northern part of the city and ends at the nearby town of Marigold," Edward reported.

"It is possible that the purpose of this tunnel is to transport mining products illegally from the northern side of our city to other parts of the continent, possibly even to foreign nations."

He then cast a glance at Kelar, who remained calm, his expression unreadable as he reviewed the report in his hands.
