Claudius slammed his fist on the table. He was inside the war room with Royal advisor Mason, Princess Sindral, Duke Alfredo, Duchess Isabelle, lord commander Armstrong, the two lord marshals, Emris and Meryl, and several other officials.
They had convened for an emergency meeting due to the sudden provocation by the outworlders outside the capital.
"We should have eradicated all of them when we have the chance!" Claudius exclaimed. "Therribus was right! Sooner or later, the outworlders will rebel, just like they do now!"
"They aren't rebelling. They just want to talk," Duchess Isabelle said.
"Bringing an army to our doorstep? Is that what you called a talk?" Claudius returned. "Give me the command of the army. I will go out and give them a talk!"
"Whatever it is. It will not be good for both sides if a battle occurred," Duke Alfredo said.
"What is there to fear? They are outworlders. We can easily crush them!"
