Cedric
"My liege, there is a person here to see you."
He emits a grunt before turning around to see the nervous guard ~ "Who is it?" ~ Noting the increasing discomfort with satisfaction tinged with contempt ~ No blood in the youth these days.
"I... I do not know, my liege." ~ Cringing at the withering glare thrown in his direction ~ "B...but he seems most powerful..."
His eyebrows arch slightly ~ "How do you know?" ~ The sound of knuckles cracking ~ "He'd better be powerful, for you know what happens when I am disturbed." ~ Inwardly chuckling ~ Disturbed from what? Everything is running so smoothly and nothing is happening... ~ Then the frown appears on his lips ~ No... it is too peaceful. The girl is not found... what the deuce is taking Eliza so long?
Eliza. ~ How much does she know? ~ Absently scratching his chin ~ Whose side will she take when she knows? ~ Snapping back into attention as he realises the wayward turn his mind has taken ~ "Alright then, show him in." ~ Mentally noting the need to stay alert from now on.
"V... very good, my liege." ~ He scuttles out hurriedly, eager to dodge the temperamental king...
Moments later...
His eyes widen with pure shock, so stunned is he that his jaws nearly drop.
"YOU?!" ~ Voice raspy and breathless ~ "What are you doing here?"
