Emperor Malekith waved the arm that wasn't holding his daughter's hand. "Guards, lower your weapons!"
The man approached Emperor Malekith, looking him straight in the eye without saying anything.
Then something unbelievable happened.
Emperor Malekith released his daughter's hand and knelt before the man, bowing his head. "God-Emperor, we were not expecting you here."
The God-Emperor replied, "Yes. your men attacked me."
Malekith replied, "I am sorry. We are in the middle of a major battle. Their orders were to attack anyone except for our people."
The God-Emperor made a casual gesture for Malekith to rise. "I have heard that you wish to use the Ultimate Weapon."
