Ronin and David intercepted a speeding Griffin Knight in the air. After some questioning, they learned he had come to deliver a letter to Ronin.
Furthermore, it wasn't just a letter for him in Mist City; the Royal Family's Griffin Knight Order had dispatched numerous Griffin Knights to deliver letters to various nobles, including Gushan, Ibn, and the lords of Black Jade Bay near the border.
Ronin took the letter. The gist of it was that His Majesty Bruno had been assassinated and was on the brink of death, and it summoned Ronin and the other high nobles to Golden Feather City before the tenth of the month to discuss important matters.
Although the letter said Bruno was near death, Ronin was certain a palace coup had occurred. 'His Majesty the King is most likely already gone.'
'Summoning me to Golden Feather Palace now is obviously a trap.'
