Lurans had already been preparing for bed, but he never expected something so significant to happen in the middle of the night.
He leaned against the headboard, holding the plea for aid sent by Coren. His expression was as placid as still water, as if this were a common occurrence.
The letter was certainly genuine. The Knight Commander wrote several letters a year, so Lurans had long since become familiar with his handwriting. Moreover, the markings on the Message Bird proved it couldn't be a forgery.
"Hmm."
He sighed and looked at Wiggin, who was sitting in a nearby chair. "What is your plan?"
Wiggin explained the idea he had just come up with.
"I plan to issue a summons to war to the other nobles, gather troops to reinforce Giant Stone City, and retake Chishan Town."
Wiggin declared ambitiously, "If we get the chance, we could even retake Casier Town and push even further south!"
"Oh, and Father."
