Decision

The Divine Order Tournament was always held at the same time every year. Emery has tried to count the date; he predicted it would be held in the same week this month. With this most likely correct guess, he had two weeks until the fateful day.

Thinking about this disturbed Emery far more than it should.

"What is it? Tell me." The girl who was sitting next to him asked.

Morgana was actually close enough to read the letter with her peripheral vision, but on the other hand, it appeared she still had difficulties comprehending the common tongue much less reading it.

Emery's first thought was to tell her directly about the contents of the letter. But then he remembered how angry she got about Gwen before, so he hesitated. He merely decided to talk about the upcoming dangers that would sweep the seven kingdoms and left aside the part about Gwen altogether.

She was silent for a moment. Deep in his heart, Emery felt guilt for not telling the whole truth.
