Soreth looked toward the art room door with an eyebrow raised. "They're weren't. I specifically asked them not to unless it was urgent." Standing up from the stool he perched on, he started walking out of the room. "Stay here and keep the door closed. I'll be right back." 

As he neared the door to the bedchamber, he suddenly remembered he last few times he had neglected to lock the art room door and waved a hand in its direction to make sure it shut properly this time. The portraits would be really awful to have discovered again, but if the muse were found as well...there was no way for that to end on a pleasant note. The knocking on the door grew louder until he turned back and unlocked it with another wave of his hand. "Enter!" 

As soon as he gave the command, the door opened quickly and two tall demons in uniforms knelt before him. "Your Majesty, the captain has requested your presence immediately. It would appear that the Red Dawn Brigade did leave a message for you, and it's left quite a mess." 

The demon king did his best to keep the look of concern on his face minimal as he nodded. "Understood. Wait for me in the hall. I will be going with you to see for myself." 

As soon as they had left, he unlocked the door to the art room and went to get his cloak and adjust his appearance. "It's not good. Wrenna, I might not be back for a while." Finally satisfied with the correct ornaments in place, he started back toward the door. "Stay out of the hall for now."
