"Your Majesty," Alexander said when he spotted the king. He had failed to notice his presence so he could not tell if he saw everything that happened or not.

Drabor might be annoying and hot-tempered, but he was still a very useful asset and was very influential in the realm. "Pardon my lack of awareness, Your Majesty."
"I have just returned, Alexander," Arzaan said and this made Alexander feel like a load had been lifted off his shoulders.
