"What did you say!? Rebellions are happening in other cities?" Velix's eyes widened, and his fists clenched.
*Boom!*
His hands slammed into the armrests of the throne, and a terrifying pressure erupted from his body, thickening the air in the throne room with a heavy tension.
The soldier trembled in fear at the sight of Velix's fury. His legs shook uncontrollably, as if he might collapse at any moment.
Still, he managed to compose himself. With a pale face and eyes filled with panic, he stammered, "Yes, Your Majesty. Our intelligence has confirmed the situation. Chaos has swept through the cities, and the people are overwhelmed with fear."
The soldier's words were like a spark of gasoline that ignited a raging fire, pushing Velix's anger to its peak.
