Lord Seraphino was bowing even before he walked through the doors of Jael's study but this wasn't because he highly respected his Primus rather it was to hide his smile.
"Sire," he said, stopping in front of the desk. "You called for me."
He raised his head, showing a composed expression that held no curiosity for why he was being summoned. After all, he already had an idea.
"That, I did," Jael said as he stared at Seraphino.
"May I ask why?" Lord Seraphino feigned ignorance.
"I am sure you already know, playing dumb won't change the matter," Jael spat out.
"Well, I find it hard to believe the Primus would personally call me to his study to discuss such trivial matters. Surely, it must be something gravely important."
"Drop the act, Seraphino. There is no need to beat around the bush."
"There is no bush, I speak nothing but the truth. I do not know why you have called me here."
