When they reached the hallway outside the study, they happened to see Erlos walking in their direction. With bright eyes, Ember hurried to meet him halfway, wishing to first make sure about the King's whereabouts from his aide. It wasn't that she didn't trust her servant; what if Draven suddenly returns after she sneaks inside his study and catches her snooping around his things? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
"Good afternoon, Miss Ember," the young elf greeted as he offered her a light bow. "What brings you to this part of the palace?"
Ember offered him a sweet smile. "I wish to see Draven. Is he in his study?"
"You just missed him, Miss. Sire just left."
"Oh…" she reacted despite knowing that already. "Where did he go?"
"I am not sure, Miss."
"Umm, do you know when he will return?"
