Gelmar and Vivian sat across from Iris and the Queen.
A tense silence enveloped the room.
One that made them feel like someone was strangling their necks and blocking out their airway.
Exhaling deeply from her nose, the Queen parted her lips and broke the silence.
"I heard what had happened. And on behalf of the kingdom, I am asking both of you to help resolve this situation. The King is still in seclusion, and I don't want him coming out to a destroyed kingdom. I am sure Captain Gelmar understands our situation clearly…"
Gelmar averted his gaze.
He knew that the Dark Elves were on their last leg, and a mistake like this, though it wasn't entirely their fault, would end them altogether. It wasn't a discussion as to what would happen if Kyran knew. He'll destroy this kingdom.
And to stop him from doing so would mean going against the Clarentium Empire.
"I hope you can put in some words to His Majesty, and ask for his help…"
Upon hearing this, Iris shifted on her seat.
