When King Edward heard the news, he was livid. A few royal council members were present, as they were waiting for the arrival of Lord Aureline. No one had expected him to have backup to rescue him.
"I will go and bring back his head," King Edward declared as he got up to leave.
"Your Majesty, leaving the royal city at this point does not seem like a good choice," Lord Williams said. He felt it was a bad idea for the king to leave the palace or the royal city at this point, especially when the strength of the men who rescued Lord Aureline was unclear.
Perhaps this was a trap to lead the king out of the palace.
"Why?" King Edward asked.
"Your Majesty, this might be a trap," Lord Williams said.
Edward frowned. It was indeed strange that they had waited so close to the royal city to strike. To win, one must know oneself and one's enemy, but there was no clear understanding of the enemy.
