Knock! Knock!
A series of knocks interrupted Vale's thoughts.
"Come in," Vale said without raising his head.
The door opened, and one of his subordinates entered. The man wore a dark uniform bearing the insignia of the Shadow Domain's faction, and his expression suggested that he had brought something more important than an ordinary report.
"My Lord, we have received an urgent message concerning Armin and his companions."
Vale finally looked up.
"Armin?"
"Yes, My Lord. Armin, Rehan, and Ely have apparently discovered something significant during their investigation."
Vale placed the documents in his hand on the desk.
