Oddly enough, although Heira was a high noble and knew more about the Twilight Palace than Adam, she was as surprised to see the message as he was.
"What the hell...?" Adam muttered in confusion.
'Hmm...' he mused, 'Andreas didn't mention anything like that. I don't know what's going on here, but it's not good news to me.
Adam looked around. In the distance the nobles were still going about their business, some talking, some going to the stores, and so on. The message was only for Adam and Heira, this was not a mass event.
Throwing a glance at Adam, then at her NEP, Heira grabbed her head.
"What do you mean the fight was denied? What do you mean the fight is unequal? What the hell are the bets?! Aren't the contestants the only ones who decide when the fight should happen?!"
Adam raised an eyebrow. He hoped to get some explanation from Heira, but it was obvious that she didn't know any more than he did.
At the same time, Silvana poked him lightly with her elbow.
