At a certain modest yet pricey hotel, Hugo Hagen was stunned to know the government staff was looking for him.
After a brief explanation, Hugo excitedly asked, "What?! Is it true?"
He'd steeled himself for a lengthy wait, prepared for weeks, perhaps even months, of bureaucratic delays.
He never expected the reply to come to his doorstep so soon.
On the opposite side, the staff replied. "Usually, it wouldn't be this fast, but it does happen from time to time. It's up to the royal secretary to evaluate your importance."
The staff handed over a piece of paper to Hugo.
"All details are in here. It serves as proof of your invitation so don't forget to bring it with you or you aren't allowed to meet the king."
Hugo examined the document carefully.
The meeting was set for the day after tomorrow. It's enough time for him to prepare.
"I understand. Thank you very much for your assistance."
The staff gave a polite bow before leaving.
