Bab 57: Valuable Trade

More than a day had passed since Drayce, and his troop left Barknor Fortress. A messenger arrived at the Royal Palace of Abetha and went to urgently report to the King.

"Your Majesty," Lord Eudes bowed as he entered the King's study together with the messenger. "We have received a message from our spies in Hatha."

"What's the news?" King Armen asked worriedly. 

The messenger kneeled in front of him. "Reporting to His Majesty, the Crown Prince has been successfully rescued, and the troop left Barknor Fortress last night. As Sir Calhoun Sanders, the commander of the royal knights of Megaris was severely injured; therefore, the troop is traveling slowly. From our estimates, after a day or two, they would have entered the territory of Abetha. Our military stationed in the Northern Fortress will then safely escort them back to the capital."
