There is a event that has a royal couple seen by a villager, in a reflection over their shoulder; nothing's there when he looks up. That might be the event you mean. If you mean the cutscene about the nature and magic tribes, that's a story of the past, not the present.

Edit:If you messed with your system clock at all, this can disrupt events; otherwise, I can't say why; you should be getting one every 24 hours.
