At about the same time, Arias’ message appeared on the Refania Kingdom’s crystal ball. The message was carefully read by the mage whose duty was to take care of the crystal ball. Uncertain, the mage had to rub his eyes and reread the message as many as three times. He even had to ask another mage to help him read the message on the crystal ball to confirm that he was really reading it right. This was because he had never once imagined that one day, the Refania Kingdom, the kingdom that was like the ruler of this region, would be challenged to war by the weak Tieros Kingdom. And more importantly, this message was filled with provoking words as if aiming to infuriate King Jarfa.
But once he’d made sure that the message was indeed sent from the King of Tieros, he quickly wrote the whole message down on a piece of paper without skipping a single word. After that, he gleefully presented it to the king, feeling as if he was about to witness something entertaining.
