A Dilemma
"An urgent summon signal?!" Arthur was speechless for a moment there, "Is there an army attacking the capital city?"
'Ding! I don't sense any aura of an army there,' the system said, 'Ding! But the emergency portal had Amanda there trying to come here and she looked quite distressed.'
"Alright, send her in," Arthur simply said while waiting for the answer to his puzzle.
In less than a minute, Amanda appeared in front of him. Before she could speak he instantly noticed how distressed and unsettled she was.
"What happened?" he asked first, "is there a disaster befalling us or something?"
"They sent an envoy to our capital minutes ago," she hurriedly said and her words only made him more puzzled.
"An army you mean?"
"No, it's a diplomatic envoy," she stressed, "and he is waiting for you in the central palace."
"Then… Why do you look this pale?" he couldn't tell the reason behind all her distress and anxiety.
