"High Priestess Mubera is unconscious... poisoned!" The shrine maid announced, not speaking coherently. As she ran, her message caused panic to streak down the backs of the servants who heard it.
Small murmurs erupted from the crowd, as everyone did not understand what was going on. First, they heard that a person had been kidnapped, now the high priestess.
Hieron hit the side of the wall he stood with an iron to get everyone's attention. Now the corridor was quiet, the voice of the younger white Lord was heard.
"Everyone should assemble at the courtroom right now. Chantal, lock the palace gates, make sure nobody leaves," Nix spoke in an authoritative voice, his words laced with a sense of urgency.
Chantal turned immediately and rushed to the gates to carry out the orders. While the palace servants filed to the courtroom, murmuring among themselves about what the problem could be.
