There Might be Some Kind of Misunderstanding

"What?!"

The book in Josh's hand fell to the ground as a panicked look appeared on his face. He grabbed the black-robed figure by the collar, and asked, "What's going on?!"

"Y-Your Highness, we sent spies to tail Princess Irina, just as you'd instructed, and we discovered her near the fifth street. After that, we immediately lost contact with our third team of scouts, and communication was immediately cut off with another scout right after he delivered news that the elven princess was being attacked. All of our scouts are currently converging toward the fifth street, and we don't know what's going on yet," the black-robed man replied in a trembling voice.

"Fifth street…" Josh pushed the black-robed man aside before quickly striding out the door as he commanded in a cold voice, "Prepare a griffin, and command my personal guards to head to the fifth street right away!"

"Yes!" The black-robed figure hurried out the door.
