It was almost midnight but Steven Rafe was still chatting with Sewel Alines like he often did in the past weeks.
"I already sent someone to Welahan and Aslirith to get some information on Empress Marozia and Prince Karium, Your Majesty," Sewel Alines said to the King. "Please be assured. We will hear some news soon."
"Are you sure that they are trustworthy?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Like I told you before, there are many people like me who are eager to free our Creles from Asliriths rule. They will do anything for you and the kingdom."
Steven Rafe nodded when he heard Sewel. "Alright. Let's wait and see what they find out."
Sewel Alines thought of one thing that always bothered him. He wondered if he should ask the King about it but... he didn't know if the King would entertain his question. However, as someone who was always brave and firm, he still decided to give a go.
"Can I ask you a question, Your Majesty?"
