"Nonsense," Rowan muttered as he massaged his temples.
He raised his head, glancing around the room, his eyes filled with anger and worry at the same time.
"So we're really on the brink of war, huh?" he said as he placed his hands on the table, his eyes turning sharp. "Those damn bloodsuckers managed to come to this realm in bulk."
Suddenly, a knock was heard on the door, followed by the voice of a guard.
"Duke Calen has arrived."
"Come in," Rowan said.
Instantly, the door opened and a man walked in.
With his dressing and the way he carried himself, it was obvious that he was a noble.
He lowered his head, his black hair falling over his eyes before speaking, "Greetings, my King."
Rowan nodded before gesturing for him to sit down.
"What is the update?" Rowan instantly asked, going straight to the point.
Duke Calen cleared his throat before he began.
"It is as my guards mentioned," he said. "It seems a high number of Vampires are in this city."
