Returning to the Mage Tower from the commanding hall, Link's spirits were low. On the way back, he suddenly saw a scout run hurriedly.
The man's expression was anxious, and his footsteps were messy. His clothing was covered in dust and mud. He ran past Link, snaked through the generals leaving, and sprinted straight towards the hall.
Only the top officials could enter the hall. Seeing the strange scout run in, everyone felt that something was wrong. They all stopped and looked over.
Link had a bad feeling too. He halted and waited for Duke Abel to call them to reconvene. But strangely, that didn't happen.
After the scout entered the citadel, he didn't reappear. The hall was as calm as before as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, the generals found it weird, but they soon departed. They were all busy; at the critical point before the final battle, there was much to do.
Link didn't leave. Not only that, he even walked over.
