"His Majesty has returned!"
Sheila immediately stood from her seat. "Did they find him?" Sheila asked.
"No, it seems his majesty had returned on his own." Answered Captain Roth.
Sheila had always detected the king's presence. So, why didn't she now?
The doors opened as the seneschals welcomed the king of Feuersturm who had the royal guards trailing behind him. One could see this as a form of respect and protection, but upon closer inspection, it was the sign of hostility.
The guards were being vigilant.
Of whom?
Sheila was blind. She couldn't see what was happening around her, and thus she could not exactly know who the king was with, or whereas to why she couldn't detect his presence.
And then, it occurred to her.
"Your majesty," Sheila mouthed. "You formed a contract with her."
Sheila felt dumb. How could she only realize this now?
Something innate has changed inside of his majesty.
And it was his soul.
