Chapter 15: First Encounter

"Your Highness, the delegation of the Mariyah Clan has arrived," said Amir to the man sitting at the center of the tent. Neither gold nor silver decorated the fairly average-size tent.

Amir sighed inwardly after seeing his master's nonchalant reaction. Contrary to his master's stoic and desolate response, the four other clans were in an uproar!

Amir thought with a sigh. 'I wish that a day will come when His Highness can be liberated from the constraints of emotions that he is in.'
