The meeting

Demetria watched her father enter the room together with some of his generals. All men took their assigned places in silence. Some of them had sly smiles dancing on their lips as if they just received excellent news. Their expression made Demetria feel uneasy. They had to know about something, and she was going to find out soon.

The girl tried to keep her face straight while fear crawled up her back.

- I am glad to see you here so early. - Her father smiled at her, but it did not help ease her worries.

- I assumed it was essential to be here on time. I have a feeling it will be a life-changing meeting. - Demetria replied, forcing a relaxed expression to her face.

- You are more than right about that.- The Dragon King clapped his hands, and the girl felt nauseous. This level of excitement could mean only one thing- troubles.

- Your Majesty, the latest reports look very promising. I am sure we are ready for the final strike.- One of the generals spoke, pointing to the papers he held.
