Lance POV:
What a save.
Zeffrel you there?
My Liege am here, you seem a bit out of place. You good?
Yes am good.
Well if you say so, but why did you summon me?
Elder Osiris acted out of character which is quite unusual, I want you to watch him while he is here.
Yes my Liege. I will do just that, anything else you will like me to do your highness?
That will be all for now, you may make yourself scarce.
What a sweetheart as always, Zeffrel you there? Oh now am done with you, go ahead and make yourself scarce. Common will it kill you to care a little about your most loyal friend, your royal highness?
Zeffrel if you could sometimes read the room.
But my Liege, we are in the garden and not in the room.
Zeffrel I am going to kill you if you don't get out of my face right now.
My Liege, Oh am scared please don't kill me. Oh no! It's that a fireball coming?
Can you kindly remind me why I still keep you around when you are such a pain in my neck Zeffrel?
Maybe because I am the only one that can tolerate your royal highness. Anyways I will leave now and carry out my duties, see you soon.
I guess he is my Karma.
Here you are. I have been looking all over for you.
Am I hearing things now, because there is no way that witch would have found me so soon.
Are you pretending not to hear me now?
It is most definitely the witch's voice. Just how did she know am here, all I want is some peace and quiet, but here she is again stressing me out.
Why would I pretend not to hear you, am just finding it difficult to turn, don't know what is wrong with my back, it just felt stiff all of a sunden.
Oh! The man got some joke ehh. Well would you mind if I massage your back,
for you? I don't mind. You seem a little too tense if you ask me.
Shila you just traveled a distance, shouldn't you be resting, or have you developed a teleportation skill?
and a massage from you will not be necessary, if I need some massage, I got maids for that or I can just take a pill. You just stay away from me with those evil fangs of yours. You need to sleep, your fatigue is obviously making you act out of character.
Evil fangs?
What I just said must have been a shock to her, I bet she was not expecting that from me, I must have lost my senses for a while, I was about to apologize and play the I don't know what is wrong with me card but what she said next, I really didn't see that coming.
I must have really met you in a mood. Are you sure you are okay Lance? You know you can talk to me right? I am here for you, I really can be a listening ear.
Wait! What?
I mean something is obviously bothering you, so if you need to talk about it, am here for you.
Wait! What? Are you sure you are Shila?
What do you mean by that? Are you already drunk this early in the morning or you took something that tasted funny, why are you asking me such a weird question?
I am asking you such a weird question because Shila would never offer to give me a massage and secondly she will never care about my feelings. She has always being the insensitive type. So who are you and you better start talking now.
Oh! My bad. I guess I did not get the full memo. So you both are not close like that. I thought you both were tight, did not know Shila is a bitch and am quite good at acting bitchy.
Well, you caught me. I just wanted to meet your acquaintance and you just have to caught on so fast, don't worry next time I will work more on my acting skills and also get more information on the person am impersonating, but for now take care till we meet again, and yes I got teleportation skills and our dear insensitive Lady Shila is still in your Sister's room.
What the! What the heck is happening? Am I hallucinating now? Who are you?
Tell me who you are!!
Well sorry, I did not want to freak you out that is why I did not appear with my real face, but it now seem that me appearing like this freaked you out more, and why do I enjoy this.?. We are surely going to be best of friends. Rest assured, I promise to introduce myself properly next time and if you are a good boy, I might even let you see my real face. Isn't that exciting?
How did you block my truth spell?
I got tricks of my own too dear, I am quite a wonder if you get to know me, I must say you are quite adorable my fine Man, I will be seeing you again very soon.
And just like that, she is gone.
Must I be in a battle mode whenever am in my own home now? How do this cockroaches crawl in even with the protection spell around the compound or is there a loophole somewhere they are manipulating?
Sir Lance, your brother will like your presence in his office and he ask me to get you. I heard one of the palace guard say.
I guess Elder Osiris has arrived?
Yes Sir, Elder Osiris had just arrived along with his entourage.
I need to talk to Alfred and Shira about what just happened but I guess that will have to wait till after we have attended to Elder Osiris.
This whole thing happening of recent is becoming really ominous. First the thing that happened with Shira, we still don't know who and how they attacked, and who knows, it might even be the same person that just appeared to me. although I did not feel any evil energy from her but that may be because she is using the face of someone close to me.
When I got to Alfred office, I saw him with Elder Osiris,Shila, Damien and Shira.
Now that you are finally here Lance, Elder Osiris can you tell us why you came here without seeking approval from me first? Alfred said with a tight voice.
My Liege, I meant no disrespect by doing so, I just felt the need to act with caution. I also did not inform anyone back home,even the people that came with me were not aware of my destination until I got here.
We found a mole in my ranks, and based on the information we got from him before he destroyed himself. Someone is planning to attack us and judging by the risk his underlings are willing to take on his behest, I must say the entity is no ordinary foe. That is why I came to warn you because if my instincts are correct, a mole must have also been planted here.
