Edward was pacing in his room. The days and nights passed were still weighing on his mind. He frowned as he continued to think about what had happened. He just prayed that his brother would not resort to any uncivilized means to deal with this. They needed to uphold the reputation of the royal family after all. 


Edward soon wore himself out. Those feelings from what happened had exhausted him. He went straight to his bed and laid down upon it. He closed his eyes. His hair was soon fanned out around him. He was soon fast asleep. He had truly been tired. Edward no longer thought about what had happened as dreams filled his mind instead. 







Emily and her father arrived at the castle. They would be let out of the carriage once it had stopped. The king stepped out first. Then, his daughter stepped out, helped out of it by the carriage footmen. She let out a sigh. This was it. They had arrived at the place her father had told her about. 


Emily and her father were escorted into the castle. The king requested an audience with their king. A servant nodded and ran off. They were going to inform those of the royal family who remained at the castle. However, the king would be told first. It was important for him to be told. That was for certain.

Anyway, Emily was escorted to a drawing room to wait, along with her father.

Zachaeus looked up from the document he was reading just as the messenger entered the throne room. He gave a small nod, signalling the man could approach. The messenger took six steps towards the ornate gold and black throne before falling to one knee and lowering his head.

[color=crimson][b]"I assume the king and his daughter here then?"[/b][/color] Zachaeus asked as he rolled up the parchment and handed it to a nearby servant.

"Yes, your majesty."

[color=crimson][b]"Good. Bring them here to the throne room for a public audience. And tell Edward that I request his presence here at this meeting as well."[/b][/color] Zachaeus said as he took a sip of blood from a wineglass sitting on a small table to the right of his throne. 

"As you wish, your majesty." The man replied, nodding briefly. Zachaeus watched him as he quickly got to his feet and went off to carry out his assigned tasks. Although he didn't show it, Zachaeus was concerned about the lack of response Ulrek gave to his proclamation. While the relationship between him and his eldest son was practically non-existent, he had expected some kind of a reaction from him, even if it was a negative one.

[color=crimson][i]"What are you planning boy?"[/i][/color] He mused as he slowly reclined in his throne and took another sip of the crimson liquid.
