Fake Apology?

As he was reading the letter that had just arrived from Xanmar, Caspian had a frown carved so deep on his forehead that Zenon and the ministers present in the throne hall were starting to get visibly restless.

Zenon’s curious eyes were staring at the King without even blinking, waiting for the King to finish reading the letter and let everyone know what the newly appointed King of Xanmar had written.

At one point, the royal advisor got so curious that the thought of walking closer to the throne and taking a peak at the letter fleeted through his mind.

‘I hope we don’t have to start preparing for war,’ Zenon clutched his fists and thought to himself as he pushed the urge to step closer to the King aside.

“Hmm…” King Caspian narrowed his eyes and groaned while clutching his jaw to show a subtle hint of disbelief upon finishing reading the letter.

“What does the letter say, Your Majesty?” Zenon finally asked, unable to hide his curiosity any longer.
