Nibtober Day 3

The knight stood, ready to give the formal greeting, but the Emperor waved him back to his seat.
"We have no time for formalities," he said, sitting on his throne. "You are to lead a batallion to Starfell and crush the rebellion there."

"Yes. You have your orders, now go!"
The knight stood and bowed, but knew the order was wrong. He stared at the man he once admired, then turned on his heel and left.
