"My Lord! My Lord!"
The urgent knocking at the door was especially jarring in the silent deep night.
Baron Edmund turned over in bed.
He tightly shut his eyes, attempting to ignore the annoying noise.
"My Lord, please wake up!"
The knocking became even more urgent.
The maid sleeping beside him got up, looking at the lord lying on the bed, hesitating whether to wake him up.
Then the voice outside sounded again,
"Kelly, Molly, quickly wake up the Lord, there's something important!"
The two maids, hearing it was the Captain of the Guard, Caluze, hesitated a moment, but finally reached out and shook Edmund.
"Lord, it seems there's something important..."
Edmund sighed, frowned, and slowly opened his eyes.
"Damn..."
Edmund struggled to sit up, and the maid quickly stepped forward to help.
The effect of the alcohol had not completely worn off, and Edmund felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer.
Holding his forehead, Edmund yawned,
"Go open the door."
