"Hn? Oh, that's right, I still have to report to the council regarding that..." Soreth looked away for a moment and mumbled a bit to himself about needing to write a note with all that was going on before he looked back with a reply. "I don't think you were there either when I found out, were you? It's a separate incident, but it seems that I have another challenger to test my right to the new position. Nothing too worrisome, but it was a little sudden. Not nearly as much preparation time as I would have liked, but what can we do? Even the calmest jobs have their hiccups once in a while." 

Hoping that he wouldn't ask too much more about it, the shorter male turned back to the ceiling. "They're taking a bit, aren't they? Have you been up there yet?"

Entering the room, Amaryllis was a bit surprised to find out which one it was. It wasn't as if she hadn't ever been there before, but it had only been a few times and usually only as a helper to another servant. It was easy to forget a route she didn't travel often, though the fact that she hadn't guessed by the door was a little embarrassing. "Not my fault, right? I was rushed over here when I was already frustrated...anyone could make that mistake, surely..." Trying to make herself feel a bit better about her previous lack of perception, she started over to the bed to put the sheets down when she heard something behind her. 

Dropping the sheets, she whirled around and looked about the room a bit nervously. Was the someone still here? She was sure that the king was dealing with the dilemma in another part of the castle by now. At least, according to what she had heard when she was told to go on break. That sound was from one of the doors, though, wasn't it? Not the one she had come from, either. 

Moving quietly toward the door she thought it had been, she hesitated only a few steps away. If it was the demon king himself or one of the other nobles in here for whatever reason she couldn't immediately think of, then she had no reason to bother them. If it was another servant,  they would have made their presence clear without any trouble or maybe offered assistance. "...Should I knock, then? I guess it would be rude not to ask if it's a bad time, but still..." Moving a little closer, she raised one hand to knock, though she was unable to bring it to the door just yet in her indecision.
