The news of the possible snake invasion caught Roland off guard. When had such a thing happened and why had he not received and warning about it.
"Rudbeck." he bellowed, calling out the knight that was relaxing on duty, playing cards with three others right outside the open door of Roland's office.
Rudbeck tipped the chair backwards and peeked into the office. "You called, your highness."
Roland rifled through the documents he had received that morning, meant for review. "Where the bloody hell are my advisors? And my secretary. Why has no one told me about a snake invasion? I am receiving messages from the royal communications office demanding to know what my official response is on the matter."
"You sent them away because you needed room to breathe." Rudbeck reminded him.
Roland grunted in response. "Then you tell me what is going on with the snakes. Have you seen any in the castle?" He held out his palm before Rudbeck could answer.
