Gulvar sipped his tea, lost in thought as he tried to figure out how to deal with the kingdom's growing problems.

A second later, Alex burst into the room. His face was tense, filled with panic and urgency.
"Your Majesty, we're in danger!"
Gulvar immediately choked on his tea. He coughed violently, then glared at Alex in irritation.
"Could you at least knock first? That's extremely rude!"
But Alex seemed to ignore the scolding. His voice trembled as he said, "Your Majesty, chaos has broken out in the capital! Dozens of buildings have suddenly exploded, and the city is now in a state of emergency!"
Gulvar's eyes widened. He slammed his left hand onto the table and demanded coldly, "Explain exactly what's happening."
Alex quickly reported the incidents unfolding throughout the capital. The more Gulvar listened, the darker his expression became.
