"Seems like someone is envious of my ability to deter the opposition with just my mouth." She retorted to him with annoyance in her voice.
"See, that's what I was talking about." He seemed amused as if waiting for her to say something along these lines. Just then there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Xiran ordered. It was Carios and he had a serious expression on his face.
"Sire, can I talk to you for a second? It's urgent."
Xiran let go of Aselia and walked over to Carios who whispered something in his ear. Xiran nodded with a solemn expression.
He then turned to Aselia: "Go back to your room, I have some urgent business to attend to. Will catch you later." He then motioned to Carios to lead Aselia back to her room. She picked up her shoes and walked behind Carios.
