The king observed the general and did not speak for a long time. That time when the news reached him that Orion died, he was at a loss on what to do and when he was finally able to bounce back the news that General Rohan will not be returning gave him another blow. Even the Order did not return and disappeared for three years. It was a little bit difficult to accept the apology since he was truly disappointed.
Rohan waited as the king remained silent. He did not want to talk out of turn because the king might not take it kindly and besides, he was the one at fault here. They sat like that for a while with no one speaking, the other was in deep contemplation while the other was waiting for what's to come.
