Inside king Gregory's outer chamber, Laurence was still trying to stand up with the support of his brother when two of his men arrived the scene. What they saw shocked them to the bone, they couldn't even mask their expression as much as they wanted.
This was the first time they were seeing their lord this battered, as he was one of the strongest vampires in Creola. What exactly happened here in the few minutes they were attending to other matters?
Their first thought and suspicion was that the two brothers had been involved in a fight, but from the way the king was handling their lord, they dismissed the thought.
"My lord, is everything alright?" One of them asked, unsure of the right question to ask as he wasn't sure what was going on.
"I'm fine," Laurence answered, and waved for them to leave. One thing he hates the most was for anyone to see him in a weak or vulnerable state.
