Bab 485: The Victory Celebrations (1)

Haldir and Inyanga jumped on their chairs at this sudden intrusion. 

The wizard servant was from the royal palace. He had folded his hands in front as he stood there. He bowed to them and informed, "The Queen has called you on an urgent basis." 

Haldir gritted his teeth out of frustration, which he didn't let manifest the face. His blue veins popped up on the neck. The servant stood there well aware of the awkward situation. He wanted to leave as soon as possible. Inyanga chuckled upon seeing Haldir's clenched jaw. 

Although he didn't ask as to why the Queen called, the servant explained, "Victory celebrations are going to take place from tomorrow and the Queen has to talk to you on some critical matter." 

"She wants to see me now?" asked Haldir, with a serious expression wondering about the gravity of the situation. 

"Yes," the servant replied. 

"Okay, thanks," Haldir said as he rose from his chair.
