บท 53: The Announcement

When the councilmen heard such a prophecy from the Royal Astrologer, they all looked at each other with a hint of fear lingering in their eyes.

One of the eldest councilmen, Vincent, was the most worried out of all. He had been looking after King Dragomir since he was still a Prince and was very young. He had been providing insights to the King, teaching him peaceful ways of uniting with several other Kingdoms, and many more. He was proud that under his guidance, Wyverndale had become a peaceful and prosperous Kingdom.

And now, the Astrologer was telling them that if they were to miss the upcoming auspicious date to conduct the test, there was a chance that no new ruler would be selected for three decades.
