A knock on the door woke the sleeping Prince Trenaut.
Usually, he was a deep sleeper, but the anticipation and seriousness surrounding his current situation made it so that he couldn't really fall deeply into sleep.
He had woken up multiple times throughout the night, and then this knock woke him up once again.
He got out of bed and quickly put on a simple trouser and shirt. He wore the helmet next to his bed and grabbed the sword before walking out.
A man waited outside, a look of nervousness all over him.
The prince frowned the moment he saw him. "What? What's wrong?"
It was clear from the way the man acted that something was.
"Our army, Your Majesty," the man hesitated. "Something… something happened to our army."
The prince followed the man outside to the yard of the palace where his people were already gathered. Along the way, the man explained the situation.
