Book 14: Chapter 2 (3)
It was two days after Shin and Sherlene found the monster den that an emergency summons arrived from the royal palace.
“What happened?”
“It is probably related to the devil.”
The messenger sent by the royal palace was whipping the horses in a frenzy, so they opted not to ask questions yet. He was trying to be prudent while traveling as fast as possible. If they distracted him, he might even cause an accident.
“Your guide is waiting for you. Please, do lend us your assistance.”
After they somehow arrived at the castle, the messenger briskly saluted Shin and Schnee. They answered that they will do whatever they can and passed through the castle gates. The woman who would act as their guide approached them right away.
Shin and Schnee were led to the room where they had previously met king Kreunzeit. The guide quickly served them both tea.
“I am sure they have been notified of your arrival. Please wait here for a moment.”
“Understood.”
