The moment he stepped through the castle courtyard, a rushing Knight Guard came straight to Aurelion, his armor clattering lightly with the speed of his approach.
"Your Highness," the guard said while bowing quickly, still catching his breath from the run. "His Majesty, King Aurex, has summoned you to the Royal Quarters immediately."
