As we're talking a large number of footfalls can be heard coming down the hallway at a fast walk. They stop in front of the door to this room and the door opens, revealing a man in fancy royal robes and a dozen guards outside.
"Papa, look how cute the puppy is!" Amanda cheers when she sees him, holding me up for him to inspect, shifting my shirt off my left shoulder and making him stop and gasp in horror.
"Mahmoud, what have you done? Amy, put her down this instant." he says in an angry voice, and the younger man just looks confused.
"Don't be mad at her Papa. We're going to be the very best of friends" I wink, wrapping my legs around Amanda's waist when she suddenly lets go of me.
"You stay out of this. I would have never approved this if I knew you belonged to the Black Dragon. What should I do with you now? I can't send you back and admit I kidnapped one of her Priestesses, we're already on bad terms." He mutters mostly to himself.
