A Gamble

"Is this some sort of prank?" Prince Kal asked, furious. His kingdom was being involved here, so how could he not get angry? If it turned out to be some sort of trick, the other nations would laugh at their lack of discipline. 

"I fear not, Your Highness." Arthur shook his head, still not backing down under the prince's glare. 

"Very well," The grandmaster clapped his hands together. "Do you know the identity of this someone?" He asked lightly, but his careless behavior was nowhere to be seen. The words of accusation, once spoken, would cause ripples whether they were true or false. 

"I do," Arthur nodded again. "He's someone among the present people." His words were met with silence followed by laughter. Everyone thought he was ridiculous.
