Alaerth grunted and took the letter, tucking it inside his silver coat,
"My thanks. You are of course welcome to stay here as long as you wish. Since you wish to speak to Lady Sylquis, I suppose she can show you to your room. You will know when dinner is ready. You may go now." The king's silver eyes left the pair and focused on one of his advisors who had been waiting to speak with him, an unmistakable dismissal.
After the two had left, Alaerth shooed his advisor away and pulled the letter out of his jacket examining the seal.
~Such a strange world we live in. I wonder what Alliene would think about all of this?~ A breif thoguht to contact her passed through his mind, but he quickly tossed it, knowing she probably would punish him for disturbing her about matters of a child from a disowned cousin. He split the seal neatly with his thumb and opened it.
